About Nigel
Nigel Victoire is a warm, non-judgemental counsellor who focuses on helping people through stressful life moments. He listens carefully so clients feel heard and respected. Nigel aims to help people build clearer direction and regain control when things feel overwhelming.
He works in a collaborative way that values creativity and kindness. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday language. Nigel encourages small, useful steps clients can try between meetings so change feels manageable.
Background and approach
Nigel draws on approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He blends these methods to match each person’s needs, using what helps most in the moment. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring emotions, or following a person’s story to uncover new meanings.
Before practising in Australia Nigel lived in the UK and has nearly a decade of experience. His background includes work in child protection, mental health and criminal justice, which shapes a practical, grounded style. Nigel aims to support people to gain self-awareness, improve relationships and find greater purpose.
People come with worries like stress, anxiety, addictions or grief and leave with clearer ways to cope. He also supports those facing career change, loneliness, struggles with control or shame, and questions about sexuality and self-worth. Nigel uses his PACFA credential to inform a professional, reflective practice.

Online support
How Nigel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Nigel draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions, which can clarify relationship patterns and personal needs. Client-Centred Therapy shapes his way of listening, offering a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person’s experience leads the pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps when someone wants concrete strategies for anxiety, stress or unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nigel will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods that fit those needs. That collaborative planning means the work is tailored rather than fixed, and it can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people read facial expressions and tone, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit short check-ins, while chat or messaging can fit around busy days and give time to reflect between messages. These options help people access support from different places and at times that fit their routines.
