About Nicolette
Nicolette Bennett is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues around addiction and self‑esteem. She supports people dealing with panic, eating concerns, relationship strain, grief and work stress. She also works with LGBT concerns, intimacy difficulties and the strain of parenting or caregiving.
Nicolette uses a straightforward, person‑centred approach to understand what each person needs. She blends Client‑Centered Therapy with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on making sense of difficult feelings in everyday life.
Her background includes roles as a substance misuse mentor and as an outreach youth worker supporting vulnerable young people. She has also provided support for adults with mental health needs and for people with disabilities and mobility challenges. Those roles shaped her practical way of working with distress and coping strategies.
Nicolette holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of experience in counselling and CBT work. Her clinical experience includes panic attacks, dissociation, self‑harm, depression, and recovery after physical or sexual abuse.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. People who meet with her can expect to set practical goals, try small experiments between sessions, and revisit progress regularly. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches are used in online therapy
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers a warm, non‑judgemental space and follows the person’s lead to build understanding and trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, panic and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. This might mean more listening and exploration at first, then adding practical CBT tasks when helpful. Decisions are reviewed as progress is made.
Online and telephone work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to access help from different locations. Telephone sessions can be useful when a shorter check‑in is needed or when not being on camera is preferred. Because formats can change, confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match day‑to‑day needs and schedules.
