About Nico
Nico Novell is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, addiction challenges, anxiety, depression and other life changes. He works with individuals on issues such as intimacy, self-esteem, stress and grief. Sessions can be conducted in English, Spanish or Catalan, and he accepts international clients.
Nico draws on two main ways of working to shape conversations. Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of each session, so the pace and focus follow what matters most to the individual. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from the past that may be influencing current feelings and relationships.
Across twenty years of practice Nico aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space. He tailors dialogue and plans to each person rather than using a fixed formula. This often means unpacking family of origin issues, communication problems, codependency and control issues, or working through trauma, abandonment and dissociation when these come up.
People also bring concerns about identity and gender, eating and body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related distress, divorce and substance use. Nico supports exploration of these topics and helps people consider practical steps for coping and change.
His BACP registration is listed as a professional credential. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step are used so sessions can fit around the client’s life. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Nico works from two main approaches that shape online conversations and goals. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first, so the therapist follows what the individual finds most important and offers empathic listening and reflection. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to find their own solutions.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and past relationships that can be affecting present feelings and behaviour. It can help when people notice repeating issues in relationships, control problems, or long-standing emotional reactions linked to family of origin and abandonment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nico will collaborate with each person to decide whether sessions should focus on short-term coping, deeper pattern work, or a mixture of both. Goals, preferences and practical needs shape that choice rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow for a comfortable setting that suits the person. They also make it straightforward to continue work with a therapist across locations when international arrangements are relevant.
