About Nikki
Nikki Dunne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and feelings of isolation. Nikki aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for people who are unsure where to begin.
She believes each person knows themselves best and brings that knowing into sessions. Nikki uses a client-centred style that focuses on listening, empathy and helping people identify their own strengths.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to fit the person, with practical suggestions offered when they feel helpful. Nikki has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration reflects her commitment to professional practice standards in the UK.
In sessions she helps people talk through difficult memories, manage panic or intense anxiety, and cope with life changes such as loss or career shifts. She also supports those carrying guilt, shame or the long-term effects of abuse to find steadier ground. Her approach tends to be calm and non-judgemental.
People can expect a focus on listening first, and then working together to set small, realistic steps forward. Nikki adapts the pace and tools to each person’s situation and goals.

Approaches Nikki 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
She also emphasises collaboration in planning the work together. The counsellor and client decide which ways of working feel most helpful, and they adjust the approach as needs and goals evolve. Finding the best fit is treated as part of the process rather than a one-off decision.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day.
These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments and geographical distance, while keeping the focus on steady, person-led progress with a registered professional.
