About Nicola
Nicola Goodison is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career setbacks and the strain of life changes. Nicola also focuses on communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Nicola believes clients know their own story and bring strengths that help them move forward. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people break problems into manageable steps. Conversations aim to increase practical coping skills and to clarify what a more workable direction might look like.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She talks through everyday concerns such as workplace stress, relationship friction and doubts about career choices. Nicola offers a calm, task-focused way of working that balances reflection with practical tasks to try between sessions.
Sessions often include looking at how thoughts and actions keep problems going, and experimenting with small changes to test what helps. She also addresses feelings that get in the way, like shame or guilt, and supports clearer communication with others. People leave with specific ideas to use in daily life.
Nicola asks clients to set simple goals together and to review progress regularly. She encourages honest discussion about what is and isn’t working and adjusts the approach as needed. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Nicola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking and doing. Cognitive-style methods look at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and help people test new responses to reduce anxiety and workplace stress. Behavioural approaches emphasise practical experiments and small tasks to try between meetings, which suit people who want concrete steps to change habits.Finding the best way to work is part of the process. Nicola will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to use and adjust them as therapy progresses, keeping the approach collaborative and goal-focused.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote work helps people continue therapy after changes in work, relationships or health, while keeping focus on practical steps and clear goals.
