About Nicola

Nicola Burgess is a UK-based therapist with a BSc (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling from Derby University and seven years of professional experience. She works from a person-centred foundation, offering a respectful and non-judgmental space where clients can explore relationship difficulties - whether with family, friends or intimate partners - and the lasting effects of trauma encountered in childhood or adulthood, including experiences of abuse and narcissistic dynamics.

Nicola also supports people processing grief and loss in many forms, from bereavement to life transitions such as divorce or changes in friendships and roles. She recognises how grief can feel isolating and accompanies clients who are struggling with motivation, self-esteem, self-worth and confidence, or who feel judged or fearful about losing important people in their lives.

In sessions she invites open exploration of thoughts and feelings and works collaboratively to identify practical steps toward greater wellbeing and emotional resilience. Nicola describes the decision to seek counselling as a courageous first step and aims to support and empower clients throughout their journey. She offers weekday appointments with some early evenings and remains open to discussing scheduling to suit individual needs. Nicola holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building an accepting, empathetic relationship where the client’s own perspective guides progress. It helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating difficult emotions by prioritising the client’s experience and autonomy. Narrative Therapy invites clients to separate themselves from problems and re-author the stories that shape their lives - this approach can be useful for addressing identity, trauma, and patterns that feel stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises practical steps and strengths to create change quickly, making it helpful for clients who want goal-oriented work and clear strategies for coping and problem solving.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Nicola will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the style of sessions as understanding deepens. She aims to tailor sessions so clients feel understood and supported in making meaningful changes.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, plus live chat and text-based messaging, make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective therapeutic support remotely, helping clients access consistent help without the constraints of travel or fixed locations.
