About Nicky
Nicky Owen is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss. She also helps with motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns.
Nicky sees clients who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and issues around intimacy and anger. She has experience supporting people with addictions, trauma and abuse, and those adjusting to major life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family matters, and hearing impairment.
Her approach centres on listening to each person’s story and recognising the strengths they already have. Sessions aim to name difficult emotions and patterns that get in the way of connections. Nicky draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people understand emotional responses and relationships.
In practical terms she uses straightforward conversations and focused work to tackle specific problems. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want concrete steps and short-term goals. Trauma-focused methods are included where past distress affects daily life.
Nicky describes therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages people to notice small changes and to try new ways of communicating and coping. To begin, people are asked to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Nicky uses EFT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and naming feelings that drive relationship patterns. It helps people identify unmet emotional needs and the ways those needs show up in interactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship responses and can be useful when people notice repeated patterns with others.Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and uses open listening to help clarify priorities and choices. These approaches often work together to help someone understand feelings, test new behaviours and adjust how they relate to others. Nicky will work with each person to decide which combination fits their goals and preferences.
Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as arranging a session during a lunch break or when travel is difficult. If you need quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth options those practical needs can be discussed when you arrange sessions. Session format details are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use a range of approaches online and Nicky will help you find the most suitable way to work together.
