See online therapy optionsAbout Nicolette
Nicolette Bennett is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports concerns such as trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and sleep problems.
Nicolette uses a practical approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centred methods. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, trying different responses, and building everyday coping routines. She offers straightforward techniques alongside time to talk through difficult memories and feelings.
Her background includes work as a substance misuse mentor and outreach youth worker. She has supported adults with mental health challenges, people with disabilities and mobility needs, and vulnerable young people in community settings. That experience shapes how she plans sessions and sets goals.
She lists specific experience with panic attacks, dissociation, self-harm and recovery from physical and sexual abuse. Nicolette also works with issues such as control problems, feelings of emptiness, and challenges common in young adulthood.
Nicolette is trained in telephone and online counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She asks people to be clear about their immediate goals so sessions can focus on practical steps and measurable changes.
How her approaches adapt to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and developing a respectful therapeutic relationship. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects back what is said and helps clarify feelings. This approach can help with emotional processing and building self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going. CBT involves practical exercises, behaviour experiments and skill building that target anxiety, panic, low mood and unhelpful habits. These tasks translate well to online settings because they can be reviewed and adjusted between sessions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean using more CBT techniques for thought patterns or more client-centred listening when exploring painful experiences.
She is trained in telephone and online counselling. The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It also supports carrying out practical CBT tasks between sessions, such as thought records or behaviour experiments that help track progress.
