Online Counselling from Warwick — About Nicky
Sometimes what we need most is simply a space to slow down — to be heard without judgment, and to find our way back to ourselves. Whether something specific has brought you here, or whether it is a more diffuse sense of being overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain, there is space in Nicky’s work for that.
Nicky is a qualified therapeutic counsellor and mindfulness practitioner based in Warwick, currently offering online and telephone sessions to adults across the UK. She holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Alongside her counselling practice, Nicky is a qualified Mindfulness and Compassion Practitioner — bringing over 20 years of personal mindfulness experience, initially influenced by Mahayana Buddhism, to her therapeutic work.
Nicky’s approach is warm, grounded, and deeply relational. She works with a wide range of emotional and mental health presentations and is particularly well suited to those looking for a mindful, present, and compassionate style of therapy — one that attends not just to thoughts, but to the whole person.
Background & Experience
Nicky’s path into counselling has been shaped by a long and genuine personal engagement with mindfulness practice. Over more than 20 years, her practice — initially influenced by Mahayana Buddhism — has given her a quality of presence and attentiveness that informs every session she offers. This is not mindfulness as a technique bolted onto therapy; it is a way of being that runs through all her work.
Nicky spent 18 months living and working at Sharpham in Devon as a Volunteer Coordinator, where she facilitated mindfulness and nature-based retreats. Sharpham is one of the UK’s most respected mindfulness and contemplative retreat centres, and this experience gave Nicky substantial practical depth in facilitating the kind of reflective, grounded space that supports genuine inner work. She is also a qualified Nature Connection Facilitator — an approach that, in her online sessions, informs the language, imagery, and embodied awareness she brings to her work rather than requiring clients to be in any particular physical environment.
Nicky works with a wide range of presentations. She has particular experience supporting people navigating burnout, anxiety, grief, trauma, and the existential questions that often arise during significant life transitions. She is also well placed to support clients exploring questions of spirituality, meaning, and connection — areas that mainstream counselling does not always make space for.
Nicky engages in regular professional supervision and is committed to ongoing reflective practice and professional development.
Therapeutic Approaches
Nicky offers two distinct but complementary services — therapeutic counselling and mindfulness sessions — which can be booked separately or experienced as an integrated offering depending on what is most useful.
Therapeutic Counselling
Nicky’s counselling approach is relational and integrative — drawing on the therapeutic relationship itself as a central source of understanding and change. She creates a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace without pressure or agenda. Her counselling is grounded in a humanistic and relational tradition, with attention to how past experiences and patterns shape the present, and how the quality of connection — both in the therapeutic relationship and in life more broadly — influences wellbeing. Therapeutic counselling online with Nicky is available to adults across the UK.
Mindfulness and Compassion Sessions
Nicky’s mindfulness practice spans more than 20 years and draws on her training as a qualified Mindfulness and Compassion Practitioner, her experience at Sharpham retreat centre, and a longstanding engagement with contemplative traditions. Mindfulness sessions with Nicky offer a structured, supported space to develop a more present, compassionate relationship with your own experience — learning to observe thoughts and feelings with less reactivity, to respond rather than react, and to develop a steadier inner ground from which to meet life’s challenges. Sessions can be booked as a standalone offering or woven into therapeutic counselling work, depending on what best serves your needs. Mindfulness counselling online is available across the UK.
Nature-Informed Practice
As a qualified Nature Connection Facilitator with retreat facilitation experience at Sharpham, Nicky brings a nature-informed sensibility to her online work — not as a separate modality requiring physical presence outdoors, but as a way of attending to embodied experience, seasonal rhythms, and the kind of grounded, spacious awareness that connection with the natural world can evoke. For clients who feel a particular resonance with the natural world, this can enrich the therapeutic or mindfulness work in meaningful ways.
Areas of Focus
Nicky offers online and telephone counselling and mindfulness sessions from Warwick to adults across the UK. The following are areas she works with regularly and has specific experience in.
Stress and burnout
The particular exhaustion of chronic overload — when demands consistently exceed what is sustainable — can leave you feeling depleted, disconnected, and uncertain of who you are outside of what you do. Nicky works with individuals experiencing stress and burnout through both therapeutic counselling and mindfulness practice online, helping them understand the patterns that have led here and develop a different relationship with pressure and pace. Burnout counselling online is available to adults across the UK.
Anxiety and overwhelm
If anxiety has made daily life feel harder — through persistent worry, physical symptoms, a sense of always being on alert, or generalised overwhelm — counselling and mindfulness online with Nicky can offer a space to understand what is driving it. Her mindfulness background is particularly relevant here: rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, mindfulness work helps develop a different relationship with it — observing it with more space and less reactivity. Anxiety counselling online and mindfulness for anxiety are available across the UK.
Low mood and depression
Persistent low mood, loss of energy and motivation, a sense of flatness or disconnection — depression can be difficult to articulate from within and hard to ask for help with. Nicky works gently alongside people experiencing low mood and depression, without pressure and without judgment, through online counselling and mindfulness sessions from Warwick.
Grief and loss
Grief counselling online with Nicky offers a space for whatever loss looks like for you — whether the death of someone close, the end of a relationship, a major life change, or the loss of a former sense of self. Nicky’s contemplative background gives her a particular attentiveness to the non-linear, often wordless dimensions of grief. There is no timetable and no expectation.
Life transitions and identity
Major life changes — relationship endings, redundancy, retirement, health challenges, or a shift in sense of who you are — can unsettle your bearings in ways that take time to find your footing from. Nicky works with adults navigating transitions of all kinds through online counselling in Warwickshire and across the UK, bringing a mindful, spacious approach to questions of identity, meaning, and direction.
Trauma
Nicky has experience working with developmental and relational trauma — the kind that has its roots in early relationships and experiences rather than a single event. Her trauma work is paced carefully and grounded in a relational approach, with close attention to safety and embodied experience. Trauma counselling online is available across the UK.
Spiritual exploration and existential concerns
Questions of meaning, purpose, spiritual development, and existential uncertainty are areas that many counsellors are not well placed to hold. Nicky’s long engagement with contemplative practice and her background in nature connection make her particularly well suited to clients for whom these dimensions of experience are significant. Spiritual counselling online and existential counselling online are available to adults across the UK.
Self-esteem and self-compassion
Chronic self-criticism, shame, and difficulty treating yourself with the care you would offer others are among the most common things people bring to therapy. Nicky’s compassion-based practice is particularly relevant here — self-compassion is not about positive thinking but about developing a genuinely different relationship with your own experience. Online counselling for self-esteem and self-compassion with Nicky is available across the UK.
Sessions with Nicky
Nicky is based in Warwick and is currently offering online and telephone sessions to adults across the UK. Sessions are available during the day and in the evenings.
Nicky offers two types of session — therapeutic counselling and mindfulness sessions — which can be booked separately or as an integrated combination, depending on what is most useful for you. Both are 50 minutes and priced at £65.
Nicky also works with clients accessing counselling through EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) arrangements and welcomes referrals from workplace wellbeing programmes alongside private clients.
Sessions are 50 minutes. Nicky works with individuals on either a short-term or longer-term basis depending on what you are bringing and what feels right. Whether you are looking for focused support around a specific issue or a longer period of exploratory work, Nicky will work with you to find an approach that fits.
Sessions are confidential. There are limited circumstances in which this may need to change — for example, if there is a serious risk of harm to you or others. Nicky will explain these clearly before any work begins.
