Nicola Spence

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. My approach is human centred, compassion focused, and trauma informed. I believe that every person is shaped by their life experiences and has their own unique strengths and challenges. As such, I do not use symptom lists or diagnostic labels. If you are looking for a therapist who works in this way, I may not be the best practitioner to support your needs.

Therapy can feel daunting and confusing at first. We will begin by exploring together what brings you to therapy and creating a shared understanding of your unique life story. From here, we can begin to make connections between your history and your present difficulties, whatever they may be. My role is to empower you, offering choices and working together to plan the direction we take in therapy.

I respect and admire the courage it takes to be vulnerable with another human being and I feel honoured when someone chooses to share their story with me. I have taken this step myself a number of times in my life and know what a difficult decision it can be to reach out for support. I believe the therapeutic relationship between therapist/ counsellor and client is the centre of a healing experience. If you choose to take this step, I look forward to meeting you.

About

Nicola Spence is credentialed in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She has worked with clients facing stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression.

Her practice is human-centred, compassion-focused, and trauma-informed. Nicola believes that life experiences shape each person and that everyone brings unique strengths and challenges. She does not use symptom lists or diagnostic labels; if a client prefers to work with those kinds of frameworks, Nicola may not be the best practitioner to support their needs.

Therapy can feel daunting at first, and Nicola begins by exploring what brings a client to therapy and building a shared understanding of their life story. From there she helps clients make connections between their history and present difficulties, offering choices and working together to plan the direction of the work.

She respects the courage it takes to be vulnerable and feels honoured when someone shares their story. Nicola has taken that step herself several times and understands how difficult reaching out for support can be. She views the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client as central to the healing experience, and she looks forward to meeting people who choose to begin this work.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best – via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and it is possible to switch to a different therapist if someone feels a different fit would be more helpful. Online options expand access while allowing people to pursue the support that works for them.
