About Nicky

Nicky Young helps people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and change by using person-centred talking and practical strategies. She works with motivation, confidence, grief, relationship and workplace concerns, and supports people facing fertility issues, guilt, isolation, and midlife questions. Nicky is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Nicky takes a straightforward, conversational approach. Sessions focus on what matters now and what the client wants to do next. She listens for what is getting in the way and uses solution-focused tools to set clear, achievable steps. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help calm intense thoughts and improve day-to-day coping.

People can expect short practical exercises as well as reflective conversation. Discussion may cover patterns at work, boundaries in relationships, or habits that affect sleep and mood. Nicky also addresses compassion fatigue and issues linked to intimacy and addiction in a way that keeps the session grounded and task-oriented.

Her work is suited to people who want both emotional support and practical actions. She helps clients break larger problems into manageable parts and track small changes over time. Sessions can include coaching elements when a clearer plan or decision-making is needed.

Nicky conducts counselling in English and practises within the United Kingdom. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Nicky uses her approaches in online sessions

Nicky uses client-centred work to focus on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach means the session follows what the client brings, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying to deepen understanding. It suits people who want to be listened to and helped to make their own decisions.

She also offers solution-focused methods that look for concrete next steps. These techniques break problems into small, doable goals and check progress week to week, which can help with motivation, work issues and practical life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nicky will explore the client’s goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps shape whether more mindfulness practice, practical planning or open discussion is used.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Nicky aims to help clients fit therapy around everyday life while keeping the focus on achievable progress.
