About Nicola

Nicola Chaproniere works with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self esteem, bipolar and depression by talking things through and helping people find practical ways to cope. She is registered NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Nicola sees people aged 11 and above and offers help with a wide range of related issues. These include abandonment and attachment questions, body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family problems, guilt and shame, jealousy and narcissism. She also supports people facing cancer, personality difficulties, post-traumatic stress, self-harm and building self-love.

Her approach is straightforward and focused on what people want to change. Sessions are used to talk through thoughts and feelings, identify small steps, and practice new ways of coping. Nicola aims to make discussions clear and practical so people can try things between sessions.

She works with individual clients to look at patterns that cause distress and to develop alternatives. Conversations may cover relationships, emotional reactions, and day-to-day routines that affect mood and behaviour. Nicola encourages people to set achievable goals and reviews progress together.

Starting therapy typically involves an initial conversation to understand immediate concerns and agree next steps. Nicola asks about what a client hopes to get from counselling and suggests a plan that fits their situation and goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Evidence-based techniques focus on practical change and understanding emotional responses. One common approach is trauma-informed work, which looks at how past events affect current feelings and behaviour and supports people to develop safer ways of coping. Another approach addresses mood disorders by helping to identify patterns of thinking and daily routines that influence low mood, and then testing small behaviour changes to improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what matters most to the client, try out methods in sessions, and adjust the way they work based on progress and preferences. This keeps therapy relevant to the person’s goals and circumstances.

Practical benefits of remote sessions often include fitting counselling into a busy life and reducing travel time. When session formats are not specified in a profile, confirm current options before booking so you know how the meetings will be arranged. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid long journeys, and schedule appointments around work or caregiving duties.
