About Nicky
Nicky Owen is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, stress and anxiety. Nicky also helps with self-esteem, motivation and the everyday shifts that come with life changes.

Background and approach
Conversations are practical and aimed at small, steady steps forward. Nicky uses approaches drawn from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based work to look at how relationships and patterns of connection affect feelings. She also uses client-centred methods to make sessions collaborative and solution-focused ideas to set concrete goals and actions.
Over two decades she has supported people facing trauma, addiction, parenting challenges and many forms of loss. Her experience includes a wide range of relationship and family issues, plus concerns such as ADHD, ageing, illness and communication problems. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients. The tone in sessions is calm, respectful and grounded in what each person says they need.

Online support
How emotion-focused and attachment work translates online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on helping people notice and name their emotions and how those emotions shape relationships. It can help with issues like intimacy concerns, commitment worries and strong patterns of conflict.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles influence present behaviour and feelings. This approach is useful for understanding patterns of closeness, abandonment fears and how people relate under stress.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client's pace, helping people find their own solutions and build self-trust. That approach pairs well with action-focused ideas when clients want clear steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice happens together and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Messaging and live chat let people check in between sessions or use shorter, flexible exchanges. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
