Background and approach

Nicole explains ideas simply and helps people find steps that fit their daily lives. Her approach draws on attachment-based methods to look at how relationships shape reactions. She also uses client-centered techniques that follow the person’s lead and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and coping.

For trauma-related struggles she may incorporate EMDR and somatic awareness when appropriate. Nicole has supported people through career transitions, addictions, identity questions, and life changes. She also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, and blended family issues.

Her practice adapts to each person’s needs and pace. Sessions are available in English and Nicole accepts international clients. Therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Nicole integrates attachment-based work and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions to address relationship patterns and intense emotions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect reactions now, helping people change old patterns in their close relationships. DBT focuses on teaching practical skills for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and reducing impulsive behavior, which can be useful for stress, anger, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays relevant and usable in daily life.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for deeper conversations and EMDR-style work when appropriate. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to follow up between sessions and practice skills in the moment. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
