About Nicolette
Nicolette Bennett helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and panic attacks. She supports people dealing with trauma, depression, addictions and problems with self-esteem. Parents and young adults who are juggling change and uncertainty may find her approach practical and straightforward.
She uses a mix of client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person. That means conversations focus on what matters to the individual, while practical steps and experiments are used to test unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions are based on what the person needs next, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Before counselling she worked as a substance misuse mentor and an outreach youth worker. She has also supported adults with disabilities and complex needs. Those roles shaped a calm, down-to-earth style that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
Nicolette is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of experience working with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, dissociation, self-harm and both physical and sexual abuse. She also supports people facing career strain, grief and relationship challenges.
She offers telephone and online counselling and draws on both talking and practical strategies in sessions. People who are nervous about starting therapy are encouraged to take the first step and try a short initial conversation to see how it feels.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Nicolette uses client-centred work which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. That approach helps people feel heard and guides the conversation around their priorities.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT includes practical exercises and simple experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety and tackle panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will work together with each person to decide what fits best. That discussion takes into account the issues, goals and what feels most useful to the individual, so plans can change as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online or telephone counselling include being able to fit sessions around work or family time and avoiding travel. Telephone sessions can be a lighter option when video is not wanted, while online sessions can allow for more interactive worksheets or screen sharing when helpful.
