Nicola 'Nikki' Crosby, BACP, NCPS

Nicola 'Nikki' Crosby helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She introduces herself in a calm, straightforward way so people can feel understood from the first message. Her aim is to make the first step easier for someone who is feeling unsure or overwhelmed.

Nikki has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She creates a welcoming atmosphere where clients can say what is on their mind. Sessions focus on listening carefully and helping people put words to their concerns.

Her style is direct but gentle. Conversations are practical and geared toward what matters most to the client. Nikki encourages people to try small steps between sessions so progress is gradual and manageable.

She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, and supports people dealing with the emotional impact of family problems, separation, or domestic violence. Other areas she addresses include communication problems, codependency, dissociation and feelings of emptiness.

Nikki works with people on the autism spectrum and those who identify with avoidant or dependent personality patterns. She aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, steadier relationships and better coping strategies. The focus is on realistic goals the client can use in daily life.

Approaches that guide online work

Nicola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques designed to be straightforward and practical. One approach focuses on helping people make sense of strong emotions and reduce anxiety through step-by-step coping strategies. This helps when worry or panic gets in the way of daily life.

Another approach addresses relationship and attachment concerns by looking at patterns in how people connect and respond to others. It aims to make interactions clearer and to build steadier ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Nikki will discuss options with each person and choose an approach together based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.

Online therapy can fit into busy lives by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. It can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins during a work break or to follow up after a difficult day.
