About Nicolette

Nicolette Bennett is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She regularly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and anger. She also works with issues around self-esteem, eating concerns, grief, sleeping and career changes.

Her background includes roles as a substance misuse mentor and outreach youth worker. She has worked with people who have complex mental health needs and with adults living with disabilities and mobility issues. That practical experience shapes how she listens and responds in sessions.

Nicolette uses an integrative approach, combining Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to match each person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and focus on what helps in day-to-day life rather than labels or tests. She draws on straightforward strategies for coping, challenging unhelpful thoughts and managing strong emotions.

She has experience supporting people with panic attacks, dissociation, self-harm thoughts, and the aftermath of physical or sexual abuse. She has worked with young people and adults, including those with complex needs.

Nicolette is trained in telephone and online counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Practical steps and clear techniques are a common feature of her sessions, aimed at reducing distress and improving how someone manages anger and everyday pressures.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace. It aims to offer a respectful, non-directive forum where someone can make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. This approach can help when anger feels confusing or tied to relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) concentrates on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build alternatives. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and patterns of anger that recur. Finding the right approach is something to work out together. The therapist will discuss goals, how someone prefers to work and which methods fit day-to-day life. That discussion shapes whether sessions lean more on listening, on skills practice, or on both. The biography confirms training in telephone and online counselling, but confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a quieter check-in during a break, or avoid travel time. Telephone calls can be a simpler option when a shorter or less visual check-in is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep sessions practical and relevant to daily life.
