About Nancy
Nancy Cowling is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, low self-esteem and confidence issues, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and problems with motivation. Nancy focuses on helping people who keep putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, or live around another person’s moods or crises, including those worried about codependency patterns.
In sessions she treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. She listens for what is getting in the way of clearer choices and helps people notice the patterns that repeat. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical, aimed at small, useful changes rather than long lectures or jargon.
Nancy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms like anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. She helps people build skills for managing stress, setting limits, and increasing confidence. When trauma or abuse is part of the picture she moves carefully and at a pace that the client feels able to manage.
She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, eating and body image concerns, anger and career stress. Clients can expect help with coping strategies and steps to reduce overwhelm in daily life. The emphasis is on usable tools and clearer decision-making.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session. Nancy is based in the UK and works in English. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapies focus on clear skills and techniques that help with symptoms like anxiety, low mood and trouble sleeping. For example, cognitive approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teach practical ways to test unhelpful thinking and try alternative actions. These approaches suit people wanting direct steps to reduce worry or reactivity.Trauma-informed methods emphasise pacing and safety when working with memories or past harm. The therapist helps clients develop grounding and regulation skills first, and only moves into more detailed memory work when the client feels ready. This is helpful for those who find difficult memories interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a path to try. That plan can change as progress is made, so the work stays collaborative and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. It can also allow people to choose quieter surroundings or to avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
