Nichola Salter, BACP

Nichola Salter is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, eating concerns, anger, low self‑esteem, career worries and life transitions. Nichola also works with people navigating ADHD and related challenges. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that starts where the person is. Sessions focus on listening, practical tools and small changes that build over time. Nichola draws on approaches such as Client‑Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people make sense of patterns and develop coping strategies. Her background before counselling included management, teaching, roles with the BBC, coastguard rescue and the fire brigade. That mixture shaped a practical, problem‑solving approach and an emphasis on clear steps. She has five years of counselling experience in addition to earlier professional roles. Nichola is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and does not take international clients at this time. Costs vary and sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Nichola aims to support people as they build confidence and find ways to cope with life’s difficult moments.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and strengths. The therapist listens and reflects back what the person says, helping them feel heard and understand their choices. It is useful for people who want space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on reflective listening, practical CBT tasks, mindfulness exercises or brief solution‑focused steps.

Confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work or caregiving. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and make it simpler to join from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools for remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
