About Chris Nicholls

Chris Nicholls is a United Kingdom based therapist with five years of practice and more than 3,000 sessions behind him. He shapes each therapeutic relationship around the needs of the individual, adapting his methods to fit what will be most helpful for the person in front of him.

He views psychotherapy as a collaborative process - his role is to walk beside clients as they explore whatever is happening in their lives. His experience covers a broad range of difficulties, including anxiety, bereavement, trauma, long-term illness, ADHD, and supporting carers facing terminal illness. He aims to offer practical and emotional support regardless of the issue presented.

His work is underpinned by a master’s degree in Emotion Focused Therapy, an advanced qualification that emphasizes understanding and working with emotions. His style is warm and interactive, with the client guiding the pace of sessions. He approaches therapy without judgement and focuses on offering empathic support. Clinically, he works in a person-centred way while drawing on solution-focused methods and cognitive behavioural techniques to provide flexible, evidence-informed care.

Chris encourages anyone ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life to consider therapy as a supportive option, and he is prepared to empower and accompany people through change.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether online therapy can actually help. For a wide range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing major life changes - evidence indicates that remote therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional face-to-face work when delivered by trained practitioners.

One major advantage is convenience. People can meet with therapists in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it far easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support from different locations.

Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and therapists who use established therapeutic approaches. If a particular working style is not the right match, it is possible to change therapists to find a better fit. For many, remote therapy offers a practical, flexible route to support and growth.
