About Nicolette
Nicolette Bennett is a BACP-registered counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and anger. She also helps with relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, sleeping problems and parenting strain.
Her background includes work as a substance misuse mentor, an outreach youth worker and roles supporting adults with mental health needs and mobility issues. Those roles brought regular contact with people facing panic attacks, dissociation, self-harm and post-traumatic difficulties.
Nicolette uses an integrative approach that adapts to the person in the room. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen and build understanding, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients can expect to talk through recent events, notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments between meetings.
She has experience working with young people aged 11-18, adults and people with complex needs and disabilities. That experience influences how she plans sessions, pacing work to match energy and concentration levels rather than following a fixed script.
For people who are worried about temper, workplace frustration or resentment towards others, she focuses on helping clients notice triggers and try different responses. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier reactions, not a quick fix. Booking starts with a short questionnaire and a first session to agree what to focus on.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clearer about their priorities, which can reduce reactive anger and build better choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practice this means noticing triggers for anger, testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments between sessions to see what changes.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then choose and adapt methods together. That means sessions can shift between listening and practical skills depending on how someone is doing.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as these are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from their own chosen location or who need flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use online sessions to keep continuity of care while matching the approach to the client's needs.
