About Nancy

Nancy Brookes welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. She introduces herself simply and calmly, and aims to make it easier to speak about painful thoughts and feelings. Nancy emphasises small steps and practical ways to cope when life feels hard.

Nancy has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her work. She focuses on helping people manage panic, social anxiety and difficult life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports those who are dealing with trauma, abuse, domestic violence and issues linked to cancer. Sessions are conversational and straightforward. Nancy listens, reflects back what she hears and works with each person to find approaches that fit their life.

She encourages people to notice what helps and to try simple coping strategies between sessions. Many people come for help with loss, guilt, shame or struggles around sexuality and self-worth. Nancy aims to create a non-judgemental space where those topics can be talked through at a comfortable pace.

She pays particular attention to young adult concerns and to women’s issues when they arise. Her style is practical and compassionate, keeping goals realistic and steps clear. Nancy invites people to take the next step when they feel ready and to shape therapy around their needs.

Focus areas and approaches

What Nancy works with

Everything Nancy lists, in their own terms.

Online support

Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing patterns of thinking and behaviour to reduce distress. One common approach involves learning practical coping skills to manage anxiety and panic - this includes breathing work, grounding exercises and short behavioural experiments to test fearful predictions. Another helpful strand is grief-focused support that helps people make space for loss while slowly rebuilding routines and meaning after bereavement or major life change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Together you prioritise what matters most and adjust the plan as you go along so the work stays relevant to your needs.

Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection and people who like to put thoughts into words between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones, while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
