Nicki Janes, NCPS

Nicki Janes welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger, sleep problems and issues around intimacy. She also supports those facing career uncertainty, life changes, ADHD-related concerns and feelings of emptiness. Nicki presents herself as a calm listener who values non-judgemental time with each person.

She works in a person-centred way. That means conversations start with what brought someone to therapy and then follow the client’s pace. The aim is to listen, reflect and help people find their own solutions rather than impose steps to follow.

Nicki describes herself as an integrative counsellor who blends her approach around each person’s needs. Her practice supports people through communication problems, family problems, guilt and shame, self-harm, self-love, women’s issues and challenges specific to young adults.

She holds NCPS as a credential and has five years of experience in counselling. Nicki has worked with adults and younger adults across a wide age range and focuses on practical strategies as well as listening. She emphasises clear, straightforward discussion during sessions.

People who choose to work with Nicki can expect a compassionate, down-to-earth style. Conversations cover immediate coping strategies as well as longer-term ways to rebuild confidence and clarify life purpose. To begin, she asks people to outline what they want from therapy and to work together from there.

Person-centred care and online therapy

Nicki’s main approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Sessions concentrate on understanding what matters most to the person, reflecting back what is said and helping people find their own answers. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and life-change issues.

She also describes an integrative outlook, which means she adapts her way of working to suit the person in front of her. That can mean combining gentle reflection with practical coping strategies when needed, depending on the concerns and goals discussed together.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Conversations in early sessions focus on what is most helpful and on trying different ways of working when required.

If you are considering online therapy, check the platform for the specific session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For international clients, confirm scheduling and any time-zone considerations when arranging sessions.
