About Nichola
Nichola Salter is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and depression. She works with clients on relationship strain, parenting pressures, eating and body image concerns, managing anger, and life transitions. She describes the client as the expert in their own story and focuses on building on existing strengths.
Nichola draws on five years of counselling experience in the UK and holds BACP accreditation, which signals professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Before working in counselling she gained broad experience in management, teaching, broadcasting and emergency services. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
Sessions aim to make sense of current difficulties, set small achievable goals, and practise skills that help day-to-day life. Techniques are chosen with the client - from talking things through to behaviour-focused tasks and mindfulness exercises. People looking for support can expect clear language and simple tools.
Nichola uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused tasks. She also weaves mindfulness into work on stress, anxiety and coping skills. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Nichola guides people through the practical steps of change, helping them find routines and strategies that fit their life.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Sessions identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behaviour changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood. Clients often leave with clear steps to practise between sessions, which suits people needing busy, goal-focused work.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey rather than a fixed decision. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques and keeping what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for conversational therapy and visual cues; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited; chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, family and daily life.
