Nicola Biggs, NCPS

Nicola Biggs is an integrative psychotherapist based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, who works with individuals and couples to address trauma and relationship difficulties. With a person centered core approach, she encourages clients to direct the pace and focus of their work while combining techniques from different therapeutic models to meet each person where they are.

Before establishing a private practice, Nicola gained experience working in a local grammar school and for Bucks Mind, bringing insight from both educational and community mental health settings into her clinical work. She has six years of experience supporting people through issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, family and parenting struggles, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse.

Nicola holds the NCPS credential, a professional recognition that reflects formal training in counselling and psychotherapy. She approaches therapy with respect for the courage it takes to seek help, and she is committed to helping clients notice and build on the positive changes that arise during the therapeutic process. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, compassion, and practical support for navigating life transitions and repairing relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Nicola draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace and direction of the work. This approach is helpful for people seeking support with relationship patterns, self-esteem, and navigating life changes because it emphasizes the individual’s own goals and experiences.

She also integrates trauma-focused therapy when addressing the impacts of past abuse, post-traumatic stress, or other trauma-related symptoms. Trauma-focused work involves careful exploration of traumatic experiences and developing coping strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Nicola works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, preferences, and goals. This means adjustments over time and a shared decision-making process about therapeutic priorities.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access consistent care from different locations. These formats support ongoing work between sessions and can be tailored to what feels most helpful and manageable for each client.
