Nicole Uprichard, BACP

Nicole Uprichard is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She provides both short-term and longer-term work, combining counselling and personal development coaching to help people who are managing major life challenges. Nicole is trauma-aware and offers support for difficulties such as anxiety, depression, grief, anger and relationship strain.

Her sessions are built around listening and practical next steps. People come to her when they want to make sense of painful past events, find new ways to cope, or set clear goals for the future. She uses a mix of talking and activity so clients leave with ideas they can try between meetings.

Nicole blends counselling and coaching to suit different needs. For some people that looks like deeper therapeutic work to process trauma. For others it is forward-focused coaching to move towards career or personal aims. This flexible approach means the work is tailored to what each person wants to achieve.

She has specific experience supporting parents after baby loss and birth trauma and can help people with addiction, family of origin issues and challenges around intimacy and attachment. Nicole also works with concerns such as chronic pain, body image and dissociation, guiding clients to manageable steps.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients choose Start Therapy on the site, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on values and small meaningful actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy centres on an empathic, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace of work and explores what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and current situation, then suggest ways of working that match those needs. Plans can change as the client learns what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of talking, worksheets and guided activities that translate well to remote appointments, so practical tools and action plans can still be part of the process.
