About Nicole
Nicole Barry is a counsellor with five years' experience. She works alongside people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship or family difficulties, low self-esteem, or major life changes. Nicole aims to help clients feel heard and understood and to leave therapy in a stronger place mentally.
She uses a flexible, integrative approach and adapts the pace to suit each person. Sessions are tailored to what the client needs and Nicole is willing to work collaboratively to reach clear goals. She describes her style as warm, understanding and non-judgemental.
Nicole offers support for a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and body-image struggles, and issues such as codependency, attachment or abandonment worries. She also helps with practical problems like sleeping and eating difficulties, caregiver stress, career strain and challenges linked to chronic illness.
Her practice combines elements from several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. That might mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours on one week and on emotional connection or personal values the next. Nicole also offers regular messaging check-ins to help clients keep progress between sessions.
Sessions are available in English and Nicole accepts international clients. She works with clients by messaging, phone or video calling depending on preference. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that match those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without being led by them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and when people want clearer purpose in daily life.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships. It can help people understand attachment issues, abandonment worries and recurring relationship patterns that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicole will talk with each client about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasise ACT, attachment work, or other methods and adjust the plan as things change.
Nicole’s profile lists messaging, phone and video calling as session options, so check the therapist’s current offerings before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins between meetings, or let someone choose a session type that matches their energy level and schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt practical details so therapy fits everyday life.
