Nikki Dunne, BACP

Nikki Dunne is a UK-licensed therapist with three years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse, helping them find practical ways to manage daily challenges and emotional distress. Nikki works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life - she looks for existing strengths and resources to build on, rather than imposing solutions from outside. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can feel daunting, and Nikki offers steady, nonjudgmental support as clients explore change, set goals, and try new strategies. Her approach centers on listening carefully, helping clients clarify their priorities, and encouraging small, meaningful steps toward the outcomes they want. Whether someone is seeking relief from overwhelming feelings or hoping to improve relationships and self-understanding, Nikki aims to create a collaborative space where progress can happen at the client’s pace.

Client-Centered Care and Online Access

Client-Centered Therapy places the person seeking help at the heart of the process, emphasizing respectful listening, empathy, and support so clients can explore their feelings and identify their own solutions. This approach helps with issues such as anxiety, low mood, trauma responses, and relationship concerns by focusing on the client’s strengths and priorities rather than a fixed treatment plan.

Nikki also works in a collaborative, strengths-based way that encourages clients to set the pace and direction of their work. The therapist and client decide together which steps feel most helpful, adapting approaches over time to reflect changing needs and goals.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or when in-person sessions are not feasible. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the process to each client’s circumstances.
