Nicole Uprichard , BACP

Nicole Uprichard is a trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor and personal development coach who brings eight years of experience to her practice. She offers both short-term and long-term therapy, working with people in the United Kingdom and with international clients. Registered in the UK, she also holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her standing with a major professional body.

In her counselling work, Nicole provides compassionate support for a wide range of psychological difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, anger, and relationship concerns. She has particular experience supporting parents following baby loss and birth trauma, and she addresses issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, addiction, intimacy and family problems.

Alongside counselling, Nicole offers forward-looking, action-oriented personal development coaching to help people clarify and progress toward specific personal or professional goals. She often blends counselling and coaching into a holistic approach, tailoring sessions to each person's needs and combining reflective therapy with practical steps for growth and recovery.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Nicole integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and committed actions - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.

Nicole also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the person's own experience, offering a supportive space where the therapist listens actively and collaborates with the client to set goals. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Nicole is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from various locations, while allowing sessions to be shaped around the client's life and commitments.
