About Nelly
Nelly Kamwa helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and depression, and supports those facing addiction, trauma, grief and intimacy-related issues. She uses conversational, person-centred work to help people talk through difficult feelings and make practical changes. Nelly is registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the UK.
Her approach is grounded in straightforward conversations and a focus on what feels manageable for the person in front of her. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviours and patterns that keep problems going, and explore small steps to try between meetings. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to offer a range of ways to work on issues.
Nelly also supports people with sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem difficulties. She has experience helping those coping with long-term illness, cancer, caregiving stress and bereavement. Clients may bring complex histories such as abuse, domestic violence, abandonment, or attachment-related worries.
Work together typically involves noticing patterns, practising coping skills, and reflecting on relationships and values. Nelly aims to be clear about what is being tried and why, and to review progress regularly. Sessions are practical and conversational, with options to focus on emotion regulation, communication, or behaviour change where useful.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Nelly uses different approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values, while also accepting difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain problems, and teaches practical techniques to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and unhelpful behaviours.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy-related issues and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options with the client and agree a plan based on their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make regular meetings easier to keep. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps with concentration. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking.
