About Nicola Bell
Nicola Bell is a BACP-accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and offers focused support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related life challenges, including abandonment, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and personality concerns, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family matters, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, coping with disasters, cancer-related concerns, and divorce or separation.
Nicola draws on client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She uses client-centered methods to build a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can explore feelings and experiences, and employs CBT when a structured, skills-based approach is appropriate to help link thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Her work is tailored to each person - sometimes more directive and goal-focused to find practical solutions, and sometimes more exploratory and non-directive to create calm space for reflection.
She aims to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and she collaborates with each person to identify the approach that fits best. Nicola acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and expresses genuine support for those who take that step. She works with international clients but is not currently accepting new clients.
