About Nicola
Nicola Demetriou is a BACP counsellor who draws on client-centred, narrative and psychodynamic ideas to support people facing difficult times. She speaks plainly and offers a calm, warm presence so people can talk through their experiences at their own pace. Nicola focuses on worries such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief and depression.
Nicola retrained as a counsellor after experiencing bereavement herself. That personal experience shaped her belief in the value of talking and reflection.
Background and approach
She moved from a teaching background into counselling and has now practised for seven years. Her work is practical and paced to the individual. Early sessions look at what brought someone to counselling and set short goals, often reviewed every six sessions.
She likes to help people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour and to try small, manageable changes. Techniques may include talking through past and present experiences, examining unhelpful thought patterns, and simple breathing or relaxation exercises.
Nicola aims to be open and honest in sessions and encourages people to feed back about how the work is going so the approach can be adjusted. Her background includes counselling for bereavement, community charity work, support in a GP surgery within a six-session framework, and experience with social services.
Nicola offers a steady, supportive space for people working through life changes, self-esteem concerns, trauma and other challenges.

Approaches Nicola lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Narrative Therapy helps you separate you from problems by looking at the stories you tell about yourself. This approach can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, identity concerns and repeating relationship patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. This can shed light on long-standing patterns that affect relationships, anxiety or grief.
Choosing an approach is a collaboration. Nicola will work with you to decide which ideas and techniques fit your goals and preferences, and she reviews progress regularly so the work can shift if needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you talk face to face, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and busy days while keeping the same therapeutic focus and continuity of care.
