About Nicola
Nicola Keenan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and a range of relationship and life-change concerns. Her practice also includes support for trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress and career-related worries.
Nicola uses a person-centred approach. That means conversations focus on the client's experience and priorities rather than direction from the counsellor. Sessions aim to help people talk through what matters, notice patterns in feelings and behaviour, and try out different ways of responding to difficult moments.
She has experience supporting people who have faced sexual assault or abuse and first responder issues. Nicola also works with people affected by domestic abuse and post-traumatic stress. Her background emphasises listening without judgement and helping people consider practical next steps they feel able to take.
In sessions Nicola keeps language straightforward. She encourages clear, manageable goals and small changes that fit day-to-day life. That may include practising ways to calm intense feelings, improving communication, or planning coping steps for stressful work days.
Her approach is collaborative. Clients set the pace and topics for each meeting. Nicola offers steady, consistent support while people work out what helps them most.
If someone prefers to start with practical information, Nicola asks them to use the online sign-up to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Nicola works from a person-centred perspective. That approach focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. It helps people who are managing anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or anger by concentrating on their feelings and choices rather than the counsellor directing the process.The person-centred method encourages clients to name the problems that matter most and to try out their own solutions in small steps. For trauma-related concerns and sexual assault survivors she offers steady, respectful listening while clients decide how to move forward at their own pace.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Nicola will discuss client goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree how sessions should run. That conversation is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The practical benefits of online work are about fitting counselling into everyday life. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the exact session formats available with Nicola before booking, as options are set by the counsellor rather than assumed.
