Nikki Dunne

Nikki Dunne is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Nikki frames the work around each person’s strengths and choices. She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Nikki’s starting point is simple: the client knows their life best, and therapy is a space to make sense of what’s happening and try different ways forward. She aims to make the first step feel manageable rather than overwhelming. In sessions she offers a calm, listening approach based on Client-Centred Therapy. Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical steps the person can try between meetings. Nikki pays particular attention to patterns that come from early attachments and family of origin issues when those help explain current struggles. She also supports people coping with caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and issues such as dissociation, panic and trauma-related symptoms. For many people, talking through these topics helps reduce shame and builds clearer choices about relationships and work. Nikki works with English-speaking clients and accepts international referrals. She encourages anyone feeling stuck, lonely or overwhelmed to consider a short matching process to see if they want to start work together.

Client-Centred Support for Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the person brings to the room. The counsellor offers empathy, reflection and acceptance so clients can better understand their feelings. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and feelings of isolation. Nikki emphasises working collaboratively to find the best way forward. She will help clients identify what they most want to change and try approaches that fit their goals and lifestyle. Deciding which therapeutic way to use is part of the work together rather than a one-off decision. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, and they can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and focus of sessions so they suit everyday life without compromising the work itself.
