About Nicola
Nicola Juffs offers support for people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self esteem and depression. She also helps those facing life changes and workplace issues. Her approach is practical and down to earth, aimed at helping people take small, manageable steps forward.
Nicola uses a client-centred style that puts the person's experience first. She listens without judgement and follows each person's pace. Nicola also draws on solution-focused techniques to help set clear, short-term goals and identify what works in daily life.
She has eight years' experience as a counsellor since qualifying in 2017 as a Humanistic Counsellor, and holds NCPS as a credential. Prior to private practice she worked in the homeless sector, mental health services and women's services as a support worker. That background shapes a practical, compassionate way of working.
In sessions Nicola aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Conversations can include looking at coping strategies, building confidence, and finding small changes that make life easier. She encourages people to notice their strengths as part of moving forward.
Nicola asks people to take the first step when they feel ready. The initial process involves completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions to suit schedules. This keeps the practical side straightforward so therapy can start without fuss.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the person's own thoughts and feelings guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard, build self-esteem, or understand what matters most to them. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical goals and on what is already working. It suits people who want brief, goal-directed steps for stress, workplace issues or coping with life changes.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Nicola will work with the person to identify what feels most useful, and may combine listening-led sessions with short goal-focused steps. The right fit can evolve as therapy proceeds, and she aims to match methods to each person's needs and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work when life circumstances change, while focusing on practical strategies and goal setting in a way that fits everyday routines.
