Nadine Daubney , BACP

Nadine Daubney is a BACP-registered counsellor with more than eight years of professional experience. She practices from a person-centred perspective while integrating trauma-focused techniques and bereavement work, and has completed postgraduate study in high-intensity cognitive behavioural therapy to add structured, practical methods to her approach. Her training and background combine to create a supportive environment that encourages clients to develop lasting tools for self-management.

Her career began after an international professional life, where she learned the value of being truly listened to by an independent, nonjudgemental person. That experience informs her down-to-earth, warm and interactive style. Nadine aims to work at each client’s pace, offering respect, sensitivity and compassion while avoiding stigmatising labels.

She has worked with a wide range of people from different ages and backgrounds, including deaf clients supported by sign language interpreters, and has supported hundreds of clients aged 16 to 88. Her experience spans many presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, OCD, questions about sexuality, settling into new life circumstances, addictions and career changes. Nadine has delivered around 10,000 counselling sessions to date and has experience with clients from CEOs to people who have been homeless, including volunteer weekend work in hostel settings.

Nadine does not promise to fix problems but helps clients identify ways to manage challenges and reach their own decisions about next steps. She explains therapeutic concepts in plain language and tailors sessions to individual needs, aiming to leave clients better equipped to support themselves over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Nadine combines person-centred work with trauma-focused and cognitive behavioural techniques to meet different needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing empathic listening and acceptance so clients feel heard and can explore their thoughts and feelings safely - this approach suits people seeking support through life transitions, grief, relationship challenges and self-esteem issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and low mood - it is useful for clients who want clear tools and skill-building. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences, using targeted techniques to help reduce the ongoing impact of trauma and abuse for those experiencing PTSD or trauma-related difficulties.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Nadine works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences and then adapts methods so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. This shared planning helps clients feel involved and supported as they try different strategies.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be held by video call, by phone, through live chat or via text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while travelling, and choose the format that best supports progress with a licensed professional or therapist.
