Nicole Uprichard, BACP

Nicole Uprichard is a trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor and personal development coach practising in the United Kingdom. She offers both short-term and long-term therapy options and is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which recognises professional standards for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Drawing on eight years of experience, she provides compassionate support for a wide range of psychological difficulties including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, anger, and relationship challenges. Her work extends to parents affected by baby loss and birth trauma, offering sensitive and informed care during profoundly difficult experiences.

In her coaching practice Nicole takes a forward-looking, action-oriented approach that helps people clarify personal and professional aims and take practical steps toward them. She also combines counselling and coaching into a holistic model when appropriate, blending therapeutic exploration with goal-focused strategies to promote development and lasting change. Her practice emphasises empathy, practical tools, and collaborative planning to support clients through recovery, growth, and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Nicole integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and ongoing emotional patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical skills to change them - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Nicole works collaboratively with each person to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits best. Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and she will support clients in exploring what feels most useful for their goals, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Nicole is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with a licensed professional from wherever the client is based.
