Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside trauma-focused methods and somatic ideas to attend to the body's responses. She also uses solution-focused tools to help people identify immediate steps they can try between sessions.

How Nikki’s approaches translate to online therapy
Nikki draws on Client-Centred Therapy, EMDR and trauma-focused methods in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting back what you say and helping you feel understood, which can create space to explore difficult topics. EMDR is an approach used to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their intensity through structured processing. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying how past events affect current reactions and aims to build new ways of coping.Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process. She will work with each person to decide which approach or combination suits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. Different practical options may suit different people depending on whether they prefer to be on camera, have a phone conversation or use another supported method. The specific session formats offered should be confirmed before booking so you know which options are available with this therapist.
