About Nicola

Nicola Goodison helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career concerns and big life changes. She works with clients to identify practical steps and build on existing strengths. Nicola is a BACP member and has five years of professional experience.

Her approach treats the person and their situation as connected. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical strategies and honest conversation. Nicola encourages clients to notice patterns that get in the way and to try different ways of responding.

She often addresses communication problems, issues around control, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Workplace problems, motivation and questions about life purpose and self-love are also common topics in her practice.

Nicola values active collaboration. She asks direct questions, offers observations and works with clients to test small changes between sessions. The emphasis is on what can be done now to reduce stress and make decisions easier.

Sessions are straightforward and paced to the client's needs. Nicola helps people prepare for difficult conversations, manage anxious moments and plan next steps in work or personal life. Her style aims to be practical, clear and focused on progress.

Clients who prefer a structured, goal-focused conversation are likely to find this approach helpful. She encourages people to bring specific situations or decisions to sessions so they can be worked through together.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Nicola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful patterns and tests new ways of responding; this helps with anxiety, stress and repeated relationship difficulties. Another approach is working on communication skills and practical planning to address workplace issues and improve confidence; this involves role-play, setting small tasks and reviewing what worked.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola will discuss options with the client, consider goals and preferences, and then agree a plan to try for a few sessions. The plan is reviewed regularly so techniques can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific methods. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins between appointments, and remove the need to travel to sessions. Many people find that remote sessions let them use therapy around work or family commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
