About Nikki

Nikki Dunne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting pressures and carer stress. She works with those facing grief, anger, intimacy concerns and challenges around self-esteem and life direction. Nikki approaches each person as the expert on their own life and aims to help them draw on their strengths to get through difficult times.

Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. She listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers rather than imposing a fixed plan. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and practical steps that can be used between sessions.

With three years of professional experience, Nikki has supported people through panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, dissociation and issues linked to family of origin and fatherhood. She also works with people experiencing compassion fatigue, isolation, guilt and shame. Her work often touches on attachment and intimacy-related concerns.

Nikki is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and is able to work with international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats and scheduling options.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist's schedule. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location and availability.

How Client-Centred Care Works Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and helps people identify their own strengths and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles and feelings of doubt by creating space to make decisions at your own pace.

Nikki emphasises collaboration when working out which way of working will help most. She starts by asking about your priorities, then tailors sessions around your goals and preferences. Together you can try an approach for a few sessions and adjust as needed based on what helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during the day or longer sessions when that suits you. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to know whether video, phone or other formats are offered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to support people across different locations and time zones, helping sessions fit around work, caregiving and other commitments.
