About Nels
Nels Rodwell is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Her work also includes coaching around motivation and confidence. Nels writes plainly and aims to help clients find practical ways forward.
Nels draws on person-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed perspectives. She views each person as the expert in their own life and focuses on strengthening their sense of agency. Sessions focus on understanding what patterns are keeping someone stuck and building clearer ways to respond to them.
She trained in Person Centred, Gestalt and CBT and integrates emotionally-focused and existential ideas into longer conversations about meaning and connection. Nels also combines counselling with therapeutic writing, and she has offered dual work that included massage during face-to-face sessions in the past. The biography states massage work applied only to in-person sessions.
Nels has worked with adults from a range of nationalities and life stages. She helps people talk through issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, communication and codependency patterns without labelling or fixing their relationships. The focus is on practical tools for boundary-setting and clearer communication.
Her approach aims to increase self-awareness and self-agency. Clients can expect a mix of reflective dialogue and skill-based techniques to process experiences and build healthier habits.
How sessions work
How Nels applies her approaches in online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns that develop in close relationships. It looks at how early and current connections shape the way someone asks for and receives support, and it can help with anxiety around closeness or abandonment.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of the session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone wants to understand their feelings and values more clearly.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that keep problems going, which can be helpful for stress and anxiety.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Nels will collaborate with the client to agree which approach or combination suits their goals and preferences. This is a joint process that can be adjusted as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows conversations about attachment, boundaries and behaviour change to continue even when meeting remotely.
