About Nicola
Nicola 'Nikki' Crosby offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She aims to make the first step into therapy easier and less daunting. Nikki speaks directly and calmly so people feel able to say what matters to them.
She works to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. With four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Nikki draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people cope day to day.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that can reduce overwhelm and improve coping. Nikki also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and issues that arise during separation and divorce.
She has worked with people affected by domestic violence, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness. Autistic clients and those with avoidant or dependent personality traits are also within her scope of practice. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging as ways to meet, so clients can choose what suits them best.
Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through an online subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist's availability. Nikki aims to help people feel heard, seen and able to try new steps towards feeling better.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Nikki collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as work progresses. This means the plan can change if something isn’t helping or if priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper discussions when you want face-to-face contact, phone can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can suit quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change and support.
