Nicolette Bennett, BACP

Nicolette Bennett is a qualified integrative counsellor and a CBT practitioner who combines client-centered work with evidence-informed cognitive behavioral techniques. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and maintains professional insurance to support her practice. With five years of experience, she has built a background in a range of supportive roles across substance misuse, mental health, and outreach services.

Nicolette’s earlier roles included work as a substance misuse mentor, supporting people with advice and guidance, and positions assisting adults with mental health challenges and complex needs. She has many years of experience supporting adults with disabilities and mobility issues, and she has worked as an outreach youth worker with vulnerable young people. Those practical roles inform her therapeutic approach and understanding of complex life circumstances.

In her clinical work she supports young people aged 11 to 18, adults, clients with complex needs, and people with disabilities or mobility limitations. Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, panic attacks, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, dissociation, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and experiences of physical and sexual abuse. She also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, addiction, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Nicolette practices in an integrative way, tailoring sessions to what best suits each person. She uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy - commonly known as CBT - to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviours collaboratively with clients. She is trained in telephone and online counselling and is currently accepting clients, including international clients, offering flexible options to connect and work toward the goals each person brings to therapy.
