About Nicola
Nicola Murray is a counsellor with six years' experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with adults who are struggling with sleep, relationships, low mood and messy life moments. Nicola aims to give clear steps people can try between sessions so they feel less stuck and more able to manage day to day.
She trained initially in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Nicola mixes practical techniques with open conversation so clients can test what helps them. Sessions tend to focus on small, workable changes rather than long lists of theory.
Nicola pays close attention to attachment and relationship patterns. That means she looks at how early experiences affect trust, boundaries and the way people relate now. She also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, anger, ADHD, obsessive behaviours and the fallout of past trauma.
When couples come for relationship work she concentrates on communication skills, emotional regulation and step‑by‑step repair. Nicola uses elements of the Gottman Method alongside other approaches to guide conversations and rebuild connection where possible.
People describe practical, collaborative sessions that aim for steady progress. Nicola offers therapy in English and is based in the United Kingdom, and she accepts international clients for remote work.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Nicola uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment‑Based Therapy as core parts of her practice. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment‑Based Therapy examines how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy, trust and recurring conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicola will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques in session and together decide what suits best. The aim is to find methods that fit a person's life and lead to manageable change rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all plan.
If you are considering online sessions, check the site to confirm which formats Nicola currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, cut travel time and allow shorter, focused check‑ins when needed. Registered therapists can adapt CBT exercises and attachment work to remote settings, and Nicola will discuss how to shape sessions to suit your needs.
