About Nikki

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional experience, Nikki Dunne helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. She works with a broad range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strains and career-related stress. Sessions focus on supporting people to use their own strengths to manage difficult moments.

Nikki uses a client-centered approach and sees clients as the experts on their lives. In sessions she listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people notice resources they already have. Conversations aim to be straightforward and practical so clients can try things between meetings.

Her work also covers attachment issues, family of origin difficulties and problems linked to caregiving and fatherhood. She supports people managing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and the after-effects of sexual assault and abuse. Other focuses include guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.

Sessions can address both immediate coping needs and longer-standing patterns that cause pain. Nikki pays attention to how relationships affect mood and behaviour, and how past experiences shape current responses. She encourages small, manageable changes rather than big overhauls.

People who come to her can expect a listening-first style that aims to clarify goals. She helps set practical steps and reviews progress as therapy continues. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of work. The therapist listens without directing the story and helps the client identify their own strengths and goals. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and coping after trauma.

Finding the best approach is part of the first meetings. Nikki will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will check in about how a method is going and adjust the plan together as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. It can also help people maintain continuity of care when they move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a mix of scheduling choices, and this therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you start the matching process.
