About Nancy
Nancy Cannon-Ikurusi works on relationship problems, self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes, and she uses discussion and practical steps to help people make changes. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has seven years of experience in the field.
She offers straightforward, talk-based counselling that aims to make sense of what is happening now. Sessions focus on thoughts, feelings and everyday behaviours. She helps people identify patterns that cause stress and tries out small changes to improve relationships, work and confidence.
Nancy pays attention to how attachment and commitment issues affect relationships. She works with people who struggle with communication problems, control issues and family problems. She also supports those dealing with isolation, forgiveness, life purpose and self-love.
Workplace and career concerns are part of her practice, including stress at work and problems with motivation or direction. She supports women facing gendered pressures and young adults navigating early career and life transitions.
Her approach is practical and conversational: listening, reflecting back, and agreeing clear steps or experiments to try between sessions. People who want help with anger, anxiety, depression or career decisions are offered focused conversations and planning to move forward.
How evidence-based approaches guide online work
Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a practical way. One common approach is cognitive-style work that looks at thoughts and behaviours; this helps when worry, low mood or self-doubt get in the way of everyday life. Another useful focus is attachment-related conversation, which examines how early patterns affect current relationships and helps improve communication and trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss a person's goals, preferences and the challenges they bring, and then agree which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and may change as understanding grows.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and cutting travel time. If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Many people find remote appointments help keep therapy consistent alongside work, study or family commitments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
