Nicola Juffs

Nicola Juffs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those dealing with workplace pressures, social anxiety, relationship communication problems and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Nicola uses a calm, non-judgemental style aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things.

She trained as a Humanistic Counsellor and holds the NCPS credential. Nicola has eight years of counselling experience alongside earlier roles supporting people in the homeless sector, mental health services and women’s services. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions.

In sessions she focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what she hears, so people feel understood and clearer about their next steps. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to centre the person’s experience and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Nicola works to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. She encourages practical changes alongside personal understanding, helping people build confidence and cope better day to day. If you are unsure where to start, she asks straightforward questions and helps you choose what to tackle first.

Taking the step to look for help can take courage, and Nicola notes that beginning therapy is itself an important move. Prospective clients are invited to use the site tools to match and schedule a first session according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of the conversation. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and helps you make sense of your thoughts and feelings. This approach is helpful for people who need space to explore emotions such as grief, shame or loneliness.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps. It helps identify practical changes you can try between sessions and builds on what already works. This can be useful when managing stress, boosting motivation or tackling specific problems at work or home.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicola will work with you to decide which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as you progress.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know how you will meet. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into busy days and reduce travel time. It also lets you have shorter check-ins when needed, and focus on practical steps between meetings.
