Nicky Young

Nicky Young is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She uses a warm, non-judgemental style to make talking easier and more straightforward.

Her work often focuses on practical goals such as building confidence and motivation. She helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, coping with change, work pressures and relationship concerns. She also offers support around grief, trauma, addiction and issues linked to intimacy and fertility.

Nicky draws on client-centred approaches to ensure the person’s own priorities shape each session. She combines this with mindfulness techniques to help manage racing thoughts and bring attention back to the present. Solution-focused ideas are used when people want clear, short-term steps to move forward.

Sessions aim to be calm and conversational. People can expect time to talk through what matters most and to agree simple, achievable actions between meetings. Nicky encourages self-compassion and practical problem solving alongside emotional support.

Her BACP membership is listed as a credential. If you want to explore issues such as midlife direction, workplace stress, loneliness or self-love, she offers a conversational space to do that. Taking the first step to ask for help is acknowledged and met with steady, supportive listening.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

This counsellor offers client-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused ways of working that adapt well to online settings. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s concerns at the heart of the session and helps the counsellor follow whatever matters most to the client. It suits people who want a supportive space to talk and be heard.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and ease anxious thinking. It often helps with stress, sleeping difficulties and emotional reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and uses goal-oriented questions to build momentum when change is needed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and they will decide collaboratively which methods to use. This means plans can change as needs become clearer.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm the session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins between commitments. Online work can make it easier to maintain a steady pace of meetings while addressing stress, anxiety or life changes.
