About Nicolette

Nicolette Bennett is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and parenting pressures. She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients manage mood, addictive behaviours and relationship strains. She is a member of the BACP, which is shown as BACP, and she has five years of practice experience.

Nicolette draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions often focus on small, achievable steps people can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She listens first, then works with clients to set clear goals and choose techniques that feel workable in everyday life. Her background includes supporting people affected by substance misuse and working in outreach roles with vulnerable young people. She has also worked alongside adults living with disabilities and mobility needs, giving her experience with varied life situations and practical challenges.

Common concerns she supports include depression, panic attacks, eating issues and problems with sleep. She also helps people facing grief, burnout and career-related stress, as well as those coping with trauma, dissociation and abandonment worries. Nicolette offers telephone and online counselling alongside other remote formats.

In sessions she combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Nicolette uses client-centred counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and understanding the person's own priorities, helping people feel heard and then decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and routines, and testing small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that match those needs. That discussion is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit clients when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging is handy for brief updates or reflective notes between meetings. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions around work, travel or caring responsibilities.
