Nikki CroceBACP

Nikki Croce is a counsellor who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem and problems around eating and addiction. Nikki writes plainly and listens without judgement so clients can begin to make small, practical changes.

Nikki works collaboratively to identify what’s getting in the way of daily life and wellbeing. She focuses on goals you set together and adapts the approach as progress unfolds. Sessions are practical and paced to suit each person’s needs.

She has experience supporting people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, including navigating difficult stages such as pre-trial circumstances and life after a trial. Nikki also has specific experience with eating and food-related issues and with post-traumatic stress and postpartum depression.

Nikki combines trauma-informed practice with approaches that pay attention to the body and present-moment coping. She emphasises building on a person’s existing strengths and regaining a sense of control and identity after disruptive events.

With five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Nikki has worked with people from diverse cultures, orientations and backgrounds. If you want a calm, patient therapist who will support you to explore difficult issues and set achievable goals, she can help you take the next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Nikki draws on client-centred practice and trauma-focused methods to support people through difficult experiences. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following your lead so you can make sense of problems and decide on next steps; it helps with feelings of low self-worth and uncertainty. Trauma-Focused approaches address the effects of traumatic events by helping people process memories and reduce distress, which can be useful for post-traumatic stress and recovery after abuse.

She will work collaboratively with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best. That means discussing goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adjusting methods as therapy progresses. The aim is to find something practical that helps you move forward rather than sticking rigidly to one model.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking to confirm what this therapist offers. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from a quieter place. It can also support shorter or more frequent contacts when needed and make it simpler to continue work between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods for remote sessions while focusing on practical tools and goal-based steps that suit your day-to-day routine.
