Nicola Kassam

Nicola Kassam is a counsellor who blends client-centred listening with practical support. She uses gentle, person-focused conversations to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Nicola works with those facing grief, eating and self-esteem concerns, and people navigating career and motivation challenges.

She has five years of counselling experience and a background of ten years in careers, employability and welfare within further and higher education. That mix means she understands both emotional pressures and the practical demands of work and study. Nicola is registered with the BACP, which is noted here as a professional credential.

Her approach starts by making space for the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped around each person's priorities and pace. She aims to listen first, then help people spot small, manageable steps they can try between meetings.

Nicola also works with trauma, abuse and post-traumatic stress concerns. She includes support for adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and disability, and other life challenges listed in her practice focus.

She welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds and accepts international clients. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space and follows what matters most to the person, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and values. It helps when people are questioning direction, purpose or life changes and can be useful for career and grief issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your needs. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting style and pace as understanding grows over a few sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people join sessions from different locations when work or study makes in-person visits difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt practical tools and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions to support progress between meetings.
