About Nikki

Nikki Croce works with people who feel stuck in one area of life, such as relationships or work, and who want to move forward. She uses collaborative talking and practical goal-setting to help clients identify what is causing distress and to plan small steps toward change. Nikki is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

Nikki has worked with people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, including supporting some through pre-trial processes and after court proceedings. She adapts trauma-informed methods to help people process troubling memories and regain a clearer sense of self and control. This includes attention to how past events affect current relationships and day-to-day functioning.

She also has experience with eating and food-related issues and with supporting people through pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum depression. Nikki will help clients explore patterns around body image, control and eating, and work on practical ways to reduce their influence.

Nikki uses a range of approaches, including client-centred work, EMDR for trauma-related memories, somatic techniques that link body and feelings, and solution-focused strategies to set achievable goals. She discusses options with each client and agrees a plan that fits the person's needs.

Sessions are offered in English and are intended for adults. Nikki has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. She asks new clients to begin with a short matching process so she can understand their concerns before the first appointment.

How Nikki uses different approaches in online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the client's perspective, offering an attentive and non-directive way of talking so the person can set their own goals; it suits those who want to be listened to and to find their own solutions. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process distressing memories and the emotional reactions they bring; it is commonly used for trauma-related difficulties. Somatic therapy links bodily sensations with feelings and can help people notice and regulate physical responses linked to stress or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these options with the client and decide together which methods to try based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may involve trying different techniques over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or offering an option when in-person appointments are difficult to reach. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help sessions fit into everyday routines.
