About Nicky
Nicky Young is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Nicky aims to make the first step into therapy as straightforward as possible for anyone feeling unsure about starting.
She creates an open atmosphere where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgement. Sessions tend to be practical and down-to-earth, with a focus on what matters to each person right now.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred work to follow a person's pace and priorities. Nicky uses mindfulness techniques to build awareness of thoughts and bodily reactions, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and anger. She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify small, achievable changes that move someone toward their goals.
Her approach suits people facing life changes, career uncertainty, relationship or intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and addiction-related struggles. She also supports people with fertility-related worries, workplace stress, isolation and questions about life purpose or self-love. Nicky holds BACP as a recorded credential and speaks English.
Her practice is offered online through a mix of video, phone, live chat and text messaging, which lets people choose what fits their schedule and comfort.

Online support
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts, feelings and body sensations without getting swept away. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep difficulties and anger by creating small moments of calm and perspective.
Solution-focused therapy looks for practical steps that lead to noticeable change. Sessions aim to identify strengths and tiny experiments a person can try between meetings to build momentum toward their goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face feeling and visual cues. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, or for people who like writing to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
