About Nels
Nels Rodwell is a counsellor registered as NCPS with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults across a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also offers coaching to help people reconnect with purpose after life changes.
Her approach draws on person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas combined with attachment-focused and emotionally-focused work. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens for patterns in relationships and everyday thinking, then helps people try small changes that can reduce distress and improve connection with others.
Nels trained in Person Centred, Gestalt and CBT and blends talking therapy with creative options such as writing therapy. She also practices dual work that includes counselling alongside massage in face-to-face sessions, though that applies only to in-person work rather than remote sessions.
She helps people untangle issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidant or dependent personality patterns, codependency and problems with commitment or control. She also supports people dealing with separation, domestic violence, dissociation and the aftermath of disasters.
The focus in sessions is on developing self-awareness, responsibility and practical tools. People can expect straightforward conversations about feelings and behaviour, experiments to test new approaches, and work aimed at improving relationships and day-to-day functioning. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and booking process to arrange an initial session.
How attachment, CBT and person-centred work translate to remote sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. In plain terms the therapist helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves, and then practises different ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those ideas in daily life and building small habits that change how someone feels and behaves.
Person-centred practice puts the client's experience at the centre and uses listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them. This can be useful for life-purpose questions and for making decisions after big changes.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose methods that fit the person's situation and priorities.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit into their week more easily, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. The therapist will help arrange a pattern of meetings that suits everyday life while focusing on steady progress.
