Nicole UprichardBACP

Nicole Uprichard is a counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She combines trauma-informed counselling with personal development coaching to help people through hard moments. She supports those facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain and the specific challenges that can follow pregnancy and childbirth loss or traumatic birth experiences.

Nicole offers both short-term and longer-term ways of working depending on what someone needs. In sessions she listens closely, helps people make sense of difficult feelings, and works with them to set achievable steps forward. Her approach is practical and calm rather than overly technical.

Her counselling style draws on client-centred listening alongside evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods. She also uses somatic ideas that include attention to bodily responses when trauma or stress shows up in the body. These threads are woven together to match each person’s goals.

When using coaching methods Nicole shifts to a forward-looking focus, helping people identify clear goals and practical actions. She sometimes blends coaching and counselling for people who want emotional support alongside concrete change work.

Sessions are offered in English and Nicole accepts international clients. People are invited to consider which mix of counselling or coaching fits them best before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore feelings at their own pace. This approach often helps when someone needs time to make sense of difficult events.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and problem-solving around day-to-day struggles. Nicole draws on these methods while staying attentive to bodily experience where trauma has left physical traces.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how someone responds to different techniques. Together they decide whether to focus on present coping skills, deeper trauma processing, or forward-focused coaching and practical steps.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find this flexibility helps them maintain regular appointments and apply new skills between sessions.
