About Nicole

Nicole Uprichard is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She offers trauma-informed counselling and personal development coaching for adults. Her stated areas include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and parenting issues.

She works with people after loss and birth trauma, and with those facing addiction or overwhelming stress. Sessions aim to address everyday difficulties such as low self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes. Her work also covers issues linked to family of origin, attachment and adoption or foster care experiences.

Nicole uses a mix of approaches to suit what a person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred conversation, solution-focused tools and somatic techniques. That means sessions can include talking through thoughts and feelings, practical problem solving, noticing bodily responses and setting small steps forward.

Her coaching tends to be action-oriented and work-focused, helping people set and reach goals over a few sessions. She also blends coaching with counselling where a client wants both short-term plans and deeper emotional work. This can suit someone who wants practical change alongside processing difficult experiences.

Nicole sees clients from the UK and internationally in English. To begin she asks people to pick the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that fit their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes by focusing on small meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses structured exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression and anger by teaching practical skills and behavioural experiments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what a person wants to achieve, try different methods, and adjust the plan as work progresses. That conversation helps decide whether more coaching-style sessions, focused CBT work or somatic techniques are the best fit.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists and registered professionals often adapt exercises so they work well by video or call and to match the person's day-to-day life.
