About Nikki
Counsellor Nikki Dunne is a BACP-registered practitioner with three years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns.
Nikki uses a client-centred approach. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the client, and building on their existing strengths.
She also supports people with wider issues such as grief, parenting strain, anger, intimacy-related difficulties and career worries. Additional areas she works with include attachment concerns, caregiver stress, dissociation, and problems rooted in family of origin.
Nikki talks with people about practical coping strategies as well as the feelings beneath them. She can help with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress symptoms, self-harm thoughts, shame and guilt, and recovering after sexual assault and abuse.
Her style is straightforward and person-led. Conversations set clear aims and move at a pace the client chooses. For people based outside the UK who wish to work in English, she accepts international clients but asks that you confirm current session arrangements before booking.
How her client-centred approach transfers to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, recognising the client's perspective, and helping people find solutions that fit their own life. It can help with anxiety, depression, relationship strain and recovery after trauma by concentrating on what the client wants from therapy and supporting their decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nikki will discuss how Client-Centred methods could suit your goals and check whether to adapt the way she works depending on your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where you both agree the aims and the pace.
If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking. The site process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt session length and style to suit practical needs, and Nikki will discuss what will work best for you during the initial booking steps.
