About Nicola
Nicola Keenan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety and life stress. She brings four years of professional experience and works in a calm, non-judgemental way. Nicola aims to offer a space where people can talk openly and consider practical changes.
She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Nicola uses a client-centred style that puts the person at the centre of sessions.
Background and approach
That means she listens actively, reflects what she hears, and follows the pace a person needs. Conversations are not directive; the aim is to help people discover their own answers and build confidence to act on them. She has supported people through trauma, including sexual assault and abuse, and through difficulties such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship strain.
Nicola also works with those facing first responder issues, parenting pressures, anger, workplace stress and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as emotional processing. Nicola helps people notice patterns, try small changes and review what works.
The work can include short-term goals or a longer exploration depending on what the person wants. Nicola offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. All appointments are arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, the person selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

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
The approach suits people who prefer a collaborative, non-directive style. Rather than giving instructions, Nicola reflects what she hears and supports people to identify what matters most to them. That can help with emotional processing, decision-making and building self-trust.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Nicola will discuss goals, preferences and options at the start and adapt the way she works as needs change. The plan can be short term to tackle a specific issue or longer term for deeper exploration.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, family and other commitments.
