Nikki Croce, BACP

Nikki Croce is a UK-based therapist who works collaboratively with people facing a wide range of challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship difficulties and trauma. She brings five years of professional experience to her practice and is credentialed with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to nationally recognised professional standards.

Nikki has particular experience supporting survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse, including clients navigating pre-trial circumstances and the difficult transitions that can follow. She is trained in working with eating and food-related issues and adopts a trauma-informed perspective, adapting interventions to help clients explore disruptions to identity, control, achievement, self-esteem, quality of life, or relationships.

Practising with empathy and patience, Nikki creates a boundaried space for people to consider challenging material at a pace that suits them. She draws on approaches that centre the client as the expert in their own story, helping to identify goals and build on existing strengths. Nikki has worked with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, sexual orientations, and identities, and focuses on supporting recovery, growth, and clearer direction when life feels stuck or overwhelming.

Tailored therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of work. It helps people explore feelings, clarify values, and build self-trust when making changes in relationships, self-esteem, or life direction.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is often applied for trauma-related difficulties and can support recovery from overwhelming or intrusive experiences.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths, helping clients identify realistic goals and small, achievable changes. This approach can be useful for addressing specific problems like stress, anxiety, or relationship concerns.

Nikki approaches choosing methods as a collaborative process - she will work with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. Online sessions provide practical flexibility, allowing people to connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care and enabling access to licensed professionals from different locations.
