About Nicola Heaps

Nicola Heaps is a UK-credentialed therapist and a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counselling in the United Kingdom. She works with people experiencing stress and anxiety and supports couples facing relationship difficulties. Nicola specialises in grief and loss, including bereavement after suicide and the loss of a child, and offers end-of-life therapy for those affected by life-limiting or terminal illness.

Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with sessions tailored to each person’s individual needs. Nicola aims to create a calm, responsive space that helps clients explore their feelings and find practical ways forward. She recognises that starting therapy can take courage and describes that first step as the beginning of a different experience from how someone may feel now.

Nicola welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively with clients to address complex emotional challenges, offering focused support for relationship concerns, grief, and the stresses that accompany major life changes.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the way that suits them best, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments.

Therapists who provide online support are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For people seeking a convenient, accessible way to access therapeutic support, online therapy can offer practical advantages while delivering care comparable to face-to-face work.
