Nicole Uprichard , BACP

Nicole Uprichard is a trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor and personal development coach who offers both short-term and long-term therapy tailored to individual needs. Registered in the United Kingdom and holding the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - she blends clinical experience with practical coaching skills to support meaningful change.

Her practice provides compassionate support for a wide range of psychological difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, anger, and relationship challenges. She also works specifically with parents affected by baby loss and birth trauma, attending to the complex emotional and practical impacts those experiences can bring.

In her coaching work, Nicole adopts a forward-looking, action-oriented stance that helps people clarify goals and take concrete steps toward personal or professional aims. She often combines counselling and coaching methods into a holistic approach, allowing space for healing while building skills and strategies for growth. This blend supports clients who want both emotional processing and practical momentum toward change.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and growth

Nicole draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them while identifying personal values to guide more meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and experiences of avoidance. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities to foster insight and self-acceptance - it is helpful for building self-esteem and working through relational or emotional concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behavioural habits, which can ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and certain stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicole works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to create a personalised plan that fits the individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing people to choose what feels most comfortable as they work toward their goals.
