About Nikki

Nikki Dunne is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, low self-esteem and career changes. Nikki believes people already have strengths to draw on and offers a steady, respectful space to work through difficulties.

Nikki uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of the work. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of what they are feeling. Conversations aim to build self-understanding and to find practical steps that fit each person’s life.

With three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Nikki brings a calm, straightforward style. She will sit with difficult emotions and help people notice their own resources. The process is intended to be collaborative rather than directive, so people set the pace and goals.

She pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues, caregiver stress, dissociation, and intimacy-related problems when these are relevant. Other areas she often addresses include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are conducted in English and Nikki accepts clients from outside the UK. Before booking, people are encouraged to check current session options and scheduling details to ensure they match their needs.

How a client-centred approach works online

Nikki uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely to each person and reflecting back what they say. This approach helps people feel understood and notice their own strengths, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

In sessions she aims to create a steady, respectful conversation. The work is collaborative so the therapist helps the person identify goals and decide the pace of change. That process supports exploration of trauma, attachment issues and caregiving stress when these come up.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Nikki will talk with clients about what feels most helpful and adapt the way she meets people’s needs based on their goals and preferences. This is a joint process rather than a fixed plan.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment would be difficult. It also makes it simpler to meet someone who is outside the local area while working with a registered or accredited professional.
