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.How much experience does Nicola Spence have?
