About Nicola
Nicola Lomas is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the impacts of trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns related to sexuality, LGBT issues, shame and loneliness. Nicola aims to make the room calm and non-judgemental so people can speak at their own pace and feel understood.
She trained to a BSc Hons level and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Nicola uses an integrative approach, which means she draws on a range of therapeutic ideas rather than following a single method. That lets her tailor sessions to an individual person's needs and pace. A significant part of her work supports survivors of sexual abuse and rape.
She focuses on helping people rebuild self-trust, manage post-traumatic stress symptoms and reduce feelings of shame and isolation. Sessions aim to be sensitive and paced to what each person can handle. In practical terms Nicola pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, including feelings of abandonment and communication struggles.
She also addresses self-love, guilt and emotional overwhelm through conversational therapy and reflection. The goal is to help people find clearer ways to cope and to make small changes that feel manageable. Nicola practises in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English.
She welcomes people who identify as LGBT and aims to provide a supportive space for questions about sexuality and identity.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Nicola works in an integrative way, combining several evidence-based ideas so each session suits the person in front of her. One commonly used approach focuses on talking through trauma and its impacts, helping people name memories and reactions and then building practical ways to manage flashbacks and hyperarousal. Another strand addresses attachment and relationship patterns, looking at how early connections shape current trust, communication and feelings of abandonment.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicola will listen to your concerns, try different ways of working and agree together which methods feel most helpful. That shared planning means therapy can shift as needs change rather than stay fixed to one method.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit with daily life and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to schedule short check-ins around work or other commitments, and it can be useful when quiet surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed.
