Nikki Croce

Nikki Croce welcomes people who feel stuck in one area of life despite managing elsewhere. She introduces a calm, steady approach so clients can talk through issues like relationships, work stress, body image or eating concerns. Her manner is patient and empathetic, and she focuses on small, practical steps that make life feel more manageable.

She uses a trauma-informed stance to help people understand how past events affect present choices. That can include looking at control, self-esteem, identity and how these shape everyday decisions. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and to build on the client’s existing strengths.

Her background includes helping people affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse, including navigating complex situations before and after trials. She also has experience supporting those recovering from eating-related struggles and from other traumatic experiences.

Nikki draws on a mix of approaches, selecting what fits the individual rather than imposing a single method. She aims to make sessions feel contained and purposeful while exploring sensitive topics at a pace that suits the person in front of her.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, and works with people from diverse cultures, sexual orientations and identities. Nikki emphasises that clients are the experts in their own stories and aims to support them as they take the next steps toward change.

Approaches to trauma and change in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own perspective and goals, with the counsellor offering empathy and reflection to help people find their next steps. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used to support processing of distressing memories and reduce the emotional intensity they carry. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, short-term goals and on what a person wants to see different in their life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a plan that fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing quicker check-ins between appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them maintain consistency and stay engaged while balancing other responsibilities.
