Nichola Faiers, BACP

Nichola Faiers is a compassionate therapist who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life changes. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists - she brings a calm, welcoming presence to each session and aims to make clients feel able to express themselves without judgement.

Her work focuses on practical concerns such as time management, motivation, and confidence while also attending to deeper emotional experiences like loss and low mood. Nichola adopts a gentle person-centred approach, which recognises that clients have internal resources and strengths to address the issues that brought them to therapy. This approach is blended with a relational emphasis that seeks to build an authentic, mutual connection between therapist and client, encouraging exploration of thoughts and feelings in the present moment.

Sessions with Nichola are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. She aims to create a relaxed environment where clients can safely explore challenges, develop coping strategies, and work toward clearer priorities and greater emotional balance. Her style is supportive, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping clients find practical and meaningful ways forward.

Person-centred and Relational Support Delivered Online

Nichola uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening closely to each client and recognising their own strengths and resources. This style helps people who are dealing with stress, low self-esteem, motivation issues, and depression by creating space to explore feelings and priorities at their own pace.

She also adopts a relational approach that emphasises the therapeutic relationship itself as a source of change. By building an authentic, collaborative connection, Nichola helps clients examine patterns in relationships, attachment concerns, and communication difficulties, supporting growth in how they relate to others.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Nichola works together with each client to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques will be most helpful and when to focus on practical coping skills versus emotional exploration.

Online therapy with Nichola is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and to continue work through transitions, travel, or changing schedules.
