Nadine Daubney , BACP

Nadine Daubney is a BACP-registered counsellor who brings more than eight years of clinical experience to her practice, combining a warm, down-to-earth style with practical therapeutic tools. Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she trained in person-centred counselling and has completed postgraduate study in high-intensity Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She also has training in trauma-based techniques and bereavement work and has been involved with the BABCP, awaiting accreditation for her CBT practice.

Her work supports people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, addictive behaviours, career transitions, trauma and PTSD, and questions of identity and intimacy. Nadine has worked with clients aged from 16 to 88 and estimates she has delivered around 10,000 counselling sessions. Her caseload has included people from diverse backgrounds and life situations - from senior executives to individuals accessing shelter services - and she has experience arranging sign language interpreters for deaf clients.

Nadine’s approach is rooted in person-centred principles, offering empathic listening and non-judgemental support while integrating CBT techniques and trauma-focused methods where helpful. She aims to help people become their own therapists over time by teaching practical skills and coping strategies, working at each person’s pace with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Nadine frames therapy as a collaborative process that focuses on understanding what matters to the client and identifying manageable steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people who need understanding, validation, and a chance to explore feelings at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replace them with more effective strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges because it provides tools that can be practiced between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends specifically to the impact of traumatic experiences, offering techniques to reduce distress and rebuild a sense of safety and control. It can be appropriate for those who have experienced abuse, significant loss, or events that continue to affect daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nadine works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to connect from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver the same thoughtful, evidence-informed care through these formats, helping clients access support in a way that suits them.
