About Nichola
Nichola Salter is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Nichola uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel manageable for a busy parent.
With five years of professional counselling experience, she brings a practical background from previous roles in management, media, teaching, sport and emergency services.
Background and approach
That wide experience shapes a calm, grounded approach. Nichola believes people hold important knowledge about their own lives and uses that as a starting point. Her work draws on client-centred ideas, helping people lead the conversation about what matters to them.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative responses. Mindfulness tools are offered to manage stress and increase focus. Nichola often applies solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals between sessions.
She aims for brief, practical steps you can try at home. Sessions are intended to feel collaborative and tailored to each person’s situation. Sessions are offered in English and provided online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled any time. To begin, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

Approaches that inform online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and values the client’s own perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing answers, which is helpful for parents working out what will fit their family life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It teaches simple tools to change thinking patterns and try different actions, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress at home.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify the methods that match a client’s goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as needed over time. Clients are encouraged to give feedback about what helps and what does not.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging make it possible to have written check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments.
