About Nicola
Nicola Murray is a counsellor with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious or stuck and helps them find practical ways to cope. Nicola uses everyday language and a down-to-earth approach in sessions.
She trained initially in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Nicola collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on realistic steps clients can try between meetings.
Common themes Nicola supports include stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps people dealing with grief, trauma and issues such as codependency, ADHD and addictions. Nicola pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck and to how past experiences affect present choices.
Her style is practical and person-centred. Conversations often include checking unhelpful thoughts, building small new habits and practising ways to communicate more clearly. Nicola aims to make therapy usable in everyday life rather than only theoretical.
Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom, and Nicola accepts international clients. The pathway to starting is straightforward and designed to match people to a suitable plan rather than forcing a single way of working.
How Nicola's approaches translate to online therapy
Nicola uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link, and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and responses in adult life, which can help with trust and intimacy issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions aligned with personal values rather than getting stuck in avoidance.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Nicola will talk through what matters to you, test what helps and adapt methods as goals change. This collaborative process means the therapeutic plan can shift if something isn’t working for you.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people take part from different locations and can help maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. Talk with Nicola about what will work practically for you and how to structure sessions to suit your routine.
