About Nels
Nels Rodwell draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people feel steadier and more connected. She brings 25 years of experience and a calm, straightforward manner to sessions. Nels works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship difficulties and self-esteem concerns.
She also supports people seeking coaching around motivation and confidence. Her practice treats each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small, practical steps that build change over time.
Background and approach
Nels combines talking therapies with reflective exercises and, where appropriate, writing-based work to deepen understanding. She trained in person-centred therapy, Gestalt and cognitive behavioural therapy, and describes counselling as a journey walked alongside the client. That approach underpins her use of Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to help people notice patterns and shift painful interaction cycles.
Nels has worked across adult age groups and with people from many nationalities. Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, body image, communication and commitment problems, and recovery after separation or domestic violence. In sessions she aims to combine empathy with practical tools.
Expect a pace set by your needs, straightforward reflection, and exercises to practise between meetings. The focus is on building self-awareness, personal responsibility and more satisfying relationships.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and change painful emotional patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can guide you to recognise those patterns and practice new ways of responding. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions; work in this style supports people to notice attachment needs and build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening, empathy and a non-judgemental stance, giving people space to make sense of their experience at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative conversation can happen in the first few sessions and is adjusted over time as you notice what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer to write, want ongoing support between sessions, or who need more discreet, shorter exchanges during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
