About Nicole
Nicole Barry is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and changes in life circumstances. Nicole also supports those facing addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and issues linked to self-esteem and ADHD.
Her way of working is practical and paced to the client. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs at the time. Nicole uses a blend of approaches so conversations focus on what is happening now and what steps someone can try between sessions.
Nicole draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take steps that match their values. She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how relationships influence feelings and behaviour. Client-Centred methods keep the focus on the person’s own experience and priorities.
She offers short message check-ins in addition to sessions delivered by messaging, phone or video calling. Costs vary with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are provided in English.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session. Nicole aims to work alongside clients so they build practical skills and clearer ways of managing difficult situations.
How sessions work
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose small actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck when life changes are hard to manage.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It breaks issues into manageable steps and gives practical techniques for managing mood, sleep, eating and worry.
Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas help explore how relationships shape feelings and reactions. These approaches are often used when someone wants to change how they respond in close relationships or to understand repeating patterns like people-pleasing or codependent behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Nicole’s biography mentions message check-ins and sessions by messaging, phone or video calling. If you want to use online therapy, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so attending is simpler.
