About Nigel

Nigel Jordan is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem, depression and grief. Nigel also supports concerns linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties and neurodiversity.

Nigel offers practical, conversation‑based sessions that focus on feelings and patterns that are hard to name. He draws on Emotionally‑Focused Therapy and attachment ideas to look at how emotion and closeness affect relationships. He also uses client‑centred and cognitive approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.

In sessions he usually helps people name painful emotions, track recurring interaction patterns and practise new responses. That can mean working on communication difficulties, codependency, or rebuilding connection after separation. He also addresses issues such as chronic pain and illness, addiction, dissociation and domestic violence in ways that attend to personal history and current coping.

Nigel has worked in both clinical and private settings. His experience includes long‑term therapy and shorter focused work for people needing practical strategies. He supports those dealing with caregiver stress, control issues and the effects of divorce or loss.

People who prefer a straightforward, emotion‑focused approach will find his style direct and relational. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session to set goals and decide the next steps.

How Nigel uses EFT and attachment work online

Emotionally‑Focused Therapy helps people name and stay with difficult feelings to change repeating relationship patterns. It focuses on how emotion drives interaction and can be useful for relationship strain, trust issues and intense emotional responses. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current relationships and helps people notice how attachment needs show up now. Client‑Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non‑directive approach where the counsellor listens and supports the client’s own process.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nigel will explore your goals and preferences at the first meeting and suggest which methods to use together. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to best meet the client’s needs.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into a busy life - they can make it easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. Discuss format and timing when you arrange the first appointment to pick what works best for practical needs and comfort.
