About Nichola
Nichola Salter is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of counselling experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and anger. She also supports clients with parenting, eating and self‑esteem concerns, career questions, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Nichola draws on approaches that keep sessions straightforward and practical. She uses client‑centred ways of working to follow what matters to the person in the room. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot patterns of thinking and try small changes that make daily life easier. Mindfulness practices are included when helpful to reduce rumination and increase calm.
Her background before counselling includes management, teaching, work with the BBC, coastguard rescue and fire brigade roles. That varied experience informs a pragmatic approach to problems. Nichola aims to help people map out manageable steps rather than offering complex plans that are hard to sustain.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on building coping skills. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, communication and control problems, and the stresses caregivers face. People bring practical worries about divorce, separation, drug and alcohol addiction, and the impact of trauma, and these are part of her caseload.
Nichola offers support in English. She does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client‑centred work means the counsellor listens and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set the agenda and decide goals. This approach supports people who need to talk through anger triggers and figure out what matters to them.Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions can teach simple CBT techniques such as spotting unhelpful thinking, testing those thoughts, and practising small behavioural experiments to reduce reactivity and improve workplace or home interactions.
Mindfulness therapy introduces short exercises to reduce rumination and increase present‑moment awareness. These practices can be shown and practised in session, then used between meetings to steady emotions and reduce spikes of anger.
Finding the best way of working is part of therapy. The counsellor will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust methods collaboratively based on what helps most. That conversation is ongoing rather than fixed at the first meeting.
