About Nels
Nels Rodwell is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and to take the first brave step towards change while she offers steady support along the way.
Her approach combines person-centred values with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural methods and emotionally-focused ideas. She uses talking, reflective exercises and written work to help people make sense of painful moments and recurring patterns. Nels often explores attachment and codependency themes when these are relevant to a person’s concerns.
She has trained in Person Centred, Gestalt and CBT and describes therapy as a journey walked alongside the client. That means she listens without judgement and helps people build skills to manage emotions, set boundaries and improve communication. She also combines counselling with massage in face-to-face sessions and offers writing therapy as a tool for reflection.
Nels has worked with adults of different ages and nationalities. She aims to help clients develop self-awareness, self-agency and accountability while nurturing empathy and kindness towards themselves. Her work is practical and steady, focused on helping people process experiences and strengthen relationships with themselves and others.
How Nels brings therapeutic approaches into online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current worries. It helps people understand trust, fear of abandonment and codependency patterns and guides practical steps to change those interactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s own goals; it helps people find their voice and build confidence through a non-judgemental relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers clear tools to spot unhelpful thinking and to practise new ways of responding to anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nels collaborates with each person to decide which combination of methods suits their needs and goals. That means trying techniques together, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan as things change.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session options before booking to confirm what formats she currently offers. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support people who prefer writing tasks between sessions, as written therapy is part of her practice. Discuss practical arrangements during the match and scheduling steps so sessions fit into everyday life.
