Nikki Dunne

Nikki Dunne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. She encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and uses a respectful, person-focused way of working. Nikki frames the first step of reaching out as a brave move and aims to offer steady support through that process.

With three years of professional experience, Nikki works from a client-centred perspective. That means she follows the person’s lead, listens carefully, and helps them clarify what matters most. Conversations aim to build on what already works in someone’s life while gently challenging patterns that cause pain.

People bring a wide range of concerns, such as relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, career stress and feelings of isolation. Nikki also supports those dealing with attachment issues, dissociation, self-harm, sexual assault and post-traumatic stress when these arise in therapy conversations. She works to keep language simple and practical so clients can apply insights between sessions.

Nikki holds BACP registration, which is part of her professional record. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients from outside the UK. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a cancellable subscription model.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to availability. Nikki aims to be a steady, non-judgemental presence while people work through difficult feelings and life changes.

Client-centred work and online therapy

Nikki draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people make their own sense of difficult feelings. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship concerns and anger by encouraging personal insight and choice.

She also places emphasis on building a trusting, respectful relationship in the room. That relationship is used to explore trauma, attachment difficulties and life changes at a pace that feels manageable. The therapist aims to work collaboratively so that goals and techniques are agreed together rather than imposed.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process, and Nikki will help figure out what fits your needs and preferences. She discusses options with clients and adapts sessions based on what they want to focus on and how they respond to different approaches.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let people avoid camera use if that helps them engage more comfortably.
