About Nico

Nico Novell is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. He works with people who are struggling with anger, relationships, addiction, anxiety, depression and life changes. He speaks English, Spanish and Catalan and accepts international clients.

Nico focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now. He talks through patterns that keep people stuck, such as control issues, codependency or family of origin problems. Sessions aim to make everyday life feel more manageable rather than promising quick fixes.

He uses Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches to guide the work. That means sessions are based on the person’s experience, while also looking at how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions. This combination can help with issues like anger, intimacy concerns, grief and stress.

People who bring concerns about eating, body image, gender dysphoria, or substance use can explore how these connect with self-esteem and relationships. He also supports those facing caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, or difficult separations.

Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what matters to the individual. Practical steps and clearer thinking about patterns often follow from that clarity. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the site.

Approaches and how online sessions work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the room. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s priorities so the person feels understood and can recognise unhelpful patterns. This approach helps with anger, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier relationships and repeated patterns shape current feelings and reactions. It can help when anger or resentment links back to past events, abandonment or family of origin problems. Sessions explore these links at a steady pace suited to the client.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a way forward together. That collaborative decision can change over time as the work progresses.

Session formats were not specified in the original biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins when time is short, or avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to help people keep continuity of care and manage everyday pressures while they work on anger, relationships and coping strategies.
