About Nancy
Nancy Cowling is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Nancy focuses on building confidence and motivation so people can take practical steps toward change.
She describes clients as the experts of their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with space to talk through painful events and confusing feelings.
Background and approach
Nancy aims to make the first steps feel manageable and realistic. Nancy holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has seven years of professional experience supporting people through grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns.
That background shapes a patient, steady approach when emotions run high. Common areas she helps with include eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, intimacy-related problems and career stresses. She also offers support for specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and body image worries.
The work often addresses how past events affect current relationships and choices. Sessions can combine talking, practical strategies and paced reflection. Nancy encourages small experiments between meetings to test new ways of coping.
Her style aims to be kind, direct and outcome-focused so people can notice real shifts over time.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person's goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and decide whether to focus on symptom relief, relationship work or longer-term patterns.
Online therapy offers flexibility and clearer access to support. Video calls let people speak face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for short check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and travel without commuting.
