About Nicola
Nicola Bagust is a counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with relationship problems, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and difficulties around addiction. Nicola aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
In sessions she adapts the conversation and the plan to each person. That means listening first, then agreeing clear goals and steps together. She focuses on practical ways to build motivation, confidence and better coping skills.
Background and approach
Nicola supports people through life changes and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps those dealing with the emotional impact of trauma and abuse. Her style is person-centred and collaborative, with an emphasis on what the individual needs now.
Clients can expect straightforward talk and gentle challenge when appropriate. Nicola encourages small, manageable steps that add up to meaningful change. Her approach aims to make difficult problems feel more manageable.
Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit each person's situation. Nicola describes therapy as a shared journey where the client’s pace and preferences guide the process. She frames therapy as practical work alongside emotional support.

Focus areas and approaches
What Nicola works with
Everything Nicola lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Another helpful method targets coping skills and behaviour change. That kind of approach breaks problems into manageable steps, builds motivation and develops routines that reduce symptoms of depression and help with addiction or low self-esteem. It suits people who want concrete strategies alongside emotional support.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Nicola will discuss different options and try ideas collaboratively until a good fit is found. She shapes sessions around the person’s goals, pace and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and useful for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging give flexibility for people who prefer written reflection or cannot meet at a set time. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the therapeutic relationship central.
