Nicola Chaproniere, NCPS

Nicola Chaproniere is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people aged 11 and above who are coping with trauma, abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, and issues with self-esteem. Nicola aims to make the first step easier and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy.

She creates an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage mood swings, build confidence, and process past hurts. Nicola listens closely and helps clients break concerns into manageable steps.

Her work often covers parenting challenges and the stresses carers face, including caregiver strain and family conflict. Nicola also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, and recovery from domestic violence. She will discuss what matters most to each person and shape sessions around those priorities.

Nicola has a record of helping people with self-harm thoughts, feelings of shame and guilt, and the emotional aftermath of separation or bereavement. She also offers support around personality difficulties and navigating relationships affected by narcissism.

People who prefer a straightforward, empathic approach tend to find her style accessible. Nicola encourages collaboration and practical planning so progress can be tracked. To start, she asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

Approaches that guide online work and support

Nicola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their impact by working through the event at a manageable pace and teaching coping strategies for distressing memories. Another approach targets mood regulation and motivation, offering tools to manage low mood and bipolar highs and lows through routine building and structured problem-solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola discusses goals, preferences and life circumstances with each person and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative process helps make sure sessions match what the client wants to achieve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from a familiar setting. It can also offer alternatives such as brief phone check-ins when video is difficult or shorter sessions to fit a work break, depending on the format agreed with the therapist.
