About Nicole

Nicole King is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel steadier and more connected.

Background and approach

Nicole speaks plainly and aims to make the first sessions feel manageable for a worried person seeking support. Nicole uses a blend of methods to match each person's needs.

She draws on Gottman Method ideas when relationship patterns are part of the concern, and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act in line with their values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust and communication.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred techniques are woven in as useful tools. With four years of experience, Nicole has supported people through grief, separation and workplace stress.

She also helps those wrestling with guilt, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose and midlife change. Sessions are aimed at building skills for everyday situations and repairing everyday interactions.

Nicole describes herself as respectful and compassionate. She works at a steady pace and adapts the focus as things shift.

Conversations are practical and collaborative, with room for feeling and for action. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video, phone, chat or text-based messaging.

Nicole works within a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and tailors the approach to each person's goals.

Therapeutic approaches you can do online

Nicole often combines Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work. The Gottman Method offers ways to recognise repeating relationship patterns and improve daily interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act in line with what matters to them. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current trust and closeness and supports clearer communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicole will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that suit their situation. She adjusts techniques over time if something isn’t helping, so the plan reflects the person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls let you work face to face; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typed thinking, want brief check-ins, or need flexible timing. These options make regular work possible without long travel.
