About Nicola
Nicola Juffs is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has eight years of counselling experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Nicola also focuses on issues such as communication problems, control struggles, workplace difficulties and questions about life purpose.
She trained as a Humanistic Counsellor and has worked across the homeless sector, mental health services and women’s services. Her background includes roles as a support worker and later working in private practice and with employee assistance programmes. Nicola draws on that practical experience when she talks through present problems with clients.
Her way of working is grounded in person-centred practice. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the client. Nicola helps people name what is getting in the way and looks for simple steps they can try between sessions.
She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, concrete goals. These techniques aim to build on what already works and to test practical changes in day-to-day life. Nicola keeps conversations straightforward and action-oriented when that fits the client's needs.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after a relationship change, a job shift, or health issue. Nicola offers direct support for feelings of isolation, guilt, shame or uncertainty about what comes next. The emphasis is on clear next steps and manageable progress.
How her counselling approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. The counsellor follows the person's concerns and makes room for them to speak about what feels most important. This approach is often used for emotional issues like grief, low self-esteem and anxiety.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions concentrate on what a person wants to change and on testing simple actions between meetings. It can be helpful for coping with life changes, workplace problems and feeling stuck about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicola will discuss different ways of working and agree on methods that fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around busy days, to have shorter check-ins between commitments, or to avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals and other therapists often use online sessions to keep regular contact and to test small changes in daily life without adding travel time.
