Nico Novell, BACP

Nico Novell is a counsellor with 20 years of experience who helps people work through relationship strain, addiction struggles, anxiety and changes in life. He speaks English, Spanish and Catalan and supports clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. He treats concerns such as grief, body image, eating and career stress with calm, respectful attention.

Nico focuses on listening first and then shaping conversations around what matters most to each person. He adapts how sessions run to fit individual needs and concentrates on thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems stuck. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon.

He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about sensitive topics. He also uses Psychodynamic Therapy ideas to help people notice patterns that repeat across relationships and time. Together, these approaches support clearer understanding and gradual change.

Nico has worked across a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, caregiving stress and addiction. He also addresses communication problems, control issues, codependency and the effects of family of origin problems. This breadth helps when different life areas overlap.

People who meet with him can expect straightforward conversation and steady support while they try out new ways of coping. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How these approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace. It helps with worries about relationships, identity, self-esteem and the everyday habits that cause stress. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and across relationships, helping people notice why certain reactions keep occurring and how they might shift them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and needs and together they will decide which ideas to emphasise. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Some people find phone or video helpful when they want to hear a counsellor but not travel, while others prefer a longer, reflective slot. Discussing practical details during scheduling helps match sessions to everyday routines and commitments.
