About Nicola

Nicola Juffs works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self esteem and depression, and helps people cope with significant life changes. She uses a person-centred approach and solution-focused techniques to support clients in practical ways. Nicola is registered with the NCPS and has eight years' experience as a practising counsellor in the UK.

Nicola trained as a Humanistic counsellor in 2017 and has worked in private practice and with employee assistance programmes. Before qualifying she spent many years working in support roles across the homeless sector, mental health services and women's services. That background shapes how she listens and responds to common problems in everyday life.

Sessions concentrate on the issues the person brings. Nicola encourages clear, direct conversation about stress, motivation, relationships and workplace pressures. She uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and client-centred methods to explore what matters most to the individual.

She also works on problems such as communication breakdowns, control issues, domestic violence, guilt and shame, loneliness and questions of life purpose. Nicola is experienced supporting concerns often described as men’s issues and women’s issues, and with social anxiety and phobia.

People can expect practical steps alongside conversational work, with time given to notice what is working and what needs changing. Nicola asks clients to be involved in choosing goals and reviewing progress so sessions stay focused and useful.

How client-centred and solution-focused work online

Client-Centred Therapy places a person's own experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and helps the person clarify their feelings and priorities. This approach can be useful for grief, low self esteem and coping with life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete changes and on building practical steps that move things forward. It suits people who want to set short-term goals and notice gradual improvements in stress, motivation and workplace issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences with the client and agrees what methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape each session and how progress is reviewed.
