More about Nigel

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am credentialed in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & coping with life changes. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

My therapeutic style integrates elements of Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches, alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

A top priority for me is working with a client on an individualistic basis, where I can calibrate my approach to your personal situation and needs.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Reviewed August 2024

I only started therapy a few weeks ago, and having never done it before, felt nervous and anxious about opening up. Nigel has been absolutely brilliant. He encourages messages between video sessions and is responsive to those messages, so i feel there is always someone I can turn to. It is early days but I already feel that Nigel has helped me a huge amount at this stage

Nigel is a fantastic therapist with true passion showing through every interaction we have. He listens carefully to build understanding and supports me with very valuable insights both during our calls and in the chat. I am extremely glad I met Nigel at this very difficult time I am going through as he helped me to find grounding and reason in the moments when it felt like my life is falling apart.

I thought I couldn’t even dream of a therapist like him. But there he is. He’s the best.

Reviewed November 2023

Nigel is superb. He really, really listens a carefully, taking a notes that clearly show his attention to detail, his clinical expertise and his bespoke attention to each individual client. Perhaps most importantly (for me), he is challenging. He knew I needed to pressed on long-embedded, superficially comfortable habits and ritualised ways of thinking. It’s early days, but I am very happy.

Reviewed November 2023

Nigel has been fantastic throughout this entire process. He responds with long and thorough messages whenever I text him about a problem I have. He also checks in throughout the day and in the mornings without me having to text him first. Overall, Nigel has helped me a lot about understanding myself while always being responsive and respectful. I would highly recommend him.
