About Nicole
Nicole Uprichard is a counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP practitioner and blends counselling with personal development coaching. Nicole focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and relationship concerns, with a particular interest in parenting and birth-related distress.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions often begin with what feels most pressing and move to manageable steps for change. Nicole uses talking, reflective listening and practical exercises so people can try out new ways of coping between meetings.
Background and approach
Many clients bring trauma, grief or the aftermath of difficult life events. Nicole offers somatic and trauma-focused techniques alongside cognitive and acceptance-based methods to help people notice how their body and thoughts respond to stress. She also supports people dealing with addiction, anger and problems connected to family of origin and attachment.
Nicole provides a mix of short-term coaching and longer-term counselling depending on what someone needs. Coaching sessions concentrate on clear goals and action plans, while counselling sessions make space for processing emotions and building coping skills. She aims to keep things simple and focused so parents and busy adults can fit work on their wellbeing into everyday life.
Sessions are held online through a range of formats and she works with people across the UK and internationally. Practical next steps are discussed in the first meetings so people leave with small, achievable tasks they can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can support parents and adults facing stress, anxiety or life changes by focusing on what matters most and building small, doable steps.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so someone can explore feelings and make their own decisions about change. This approach is useful when people need a steady, listening space to work through grief, relationships or parenting strain.
Nicole also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going. CBT-style tools are used to try simple experiments and practical tasks that reduce anxiety and improve coping between sessions.
Deciding which method to use is a shared task. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then try approaches together and adjust as needed. This keeps the work relevant and tailored to each person.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and use exercises together. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work from different locations.
