Nicolette Bennett , BACP

Nicolette Bennett is a qualified integrative counsellor and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practitioner based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised professional body that sets standards for counselling practice and ethical conduct. She also holds professional insurance and has training in telephone and online counselling.

Nicolette draws on a varied background working in roles that include substance misuse mentoring, supporting people with mental health issues and complex needs, supporting adults with disabilities and mobility challenges, and outreach youth work with vulnerable young people. Those experiences inform her practical and empathetic approach to therapy and shape the way she supports clients facing different life circumstances.

She currently works with young people aged 11 to 18, adults, clients with complex needs, and people with disabilities or mobility issues. Her clinical experience covers general anxiety and anxiety disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, dissociation, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and physical and sexual abuse. Over five years of practice, she has developed skills in addressing these concerns using a blend of approaches.

Working in an integrative way, Nicolette adapts therapy to suit each person, combining client-centered principles with CBT techniques where appropriate. She is trained to deliver counselling by phone and online, and she aims to collaborate with clients to find the most helpful path forward.

Client-centered and CBT support available online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal growth. This approach can be helpful for issues such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and the emotional impact of life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. CBT offers practical techniques to manage symptoms of anxiety, panic, depression, and compulsive patterns, and it can be tailored to address trauma-related responses and addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Nicolette works collaboratively with each client - listening to needs, goals, and preferences - and together they decide which combination of methods will best support progress. She is trained in telephone and online counselling and adapts methods to suit remote work.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, mobility needs, or location. For many people, remote sessions provide accessible, consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while maintaining a focus on effective, goal-oriented care.
