About Nikki
Nikki Dunne is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, grief, anger and workplace strain. Her approach is practical and down to earth, aimed at helping people take sensible steps forward.
Nikki believes people bring their own strengths to therapy. She works in a way that centres the client’s experience and goals. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and what is realistic to change. Nikki uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen deeply and reflect back what she hears. That allows people to notice patterns and make clearer choices about next steps.
She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Nikki offers practical tools for coping with panic, grief, caregiver stress and feelings of isolation. People often come for help with family-related strains, fatherhood issues, attachment worries or past abuse.
Nikki will help identify small, achievable steps and keep the work grounded and manageable.

How Client-Centred Care Works Online
Nikki uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and reflects back what a person says. This approach helps people feel understood and find their own answers to issues like anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strain.In practical terms sessions are calm and focused on the client’s priorities. Conversations aim to build on strengths and identify small, manageable changes. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit the person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when seeing facial cues helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Text-based messaging and live chat can suit shorter check-ins, daytime catch-ups or when someone needs flexibility around work or caring responsibilities.
Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Nikki will discuss options and adapt the format as needs and goals evolve, helping people make therapy fit daily life rather than the other way round.
