About Nicholas

Nicholas Damin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He welcomes people who feel nervous or unsure about starting therapy and aims to make the first steps easier. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space and listens to what matters most to each person.

Nicholas holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of practice experience. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression, and helps people coping with life changes and grief. He also supports those struggling with self-esteem, intimacy and relationship questions, and people exploring LGBT issues.

He pays attention to wider and complex difficulties too, including ADHD, autism and attachment-related worries. Other areas he addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, carer stress, chronic illness and ageing issues. Nicholas uses creative tools and simple techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Sessions are steady and paced to the individual. Nicholas describes counselling as a gradual process rather than a quick fix. He focuses on listening first, then helping people identify realistic next steps they can try between meetings.

Those looking for a practical, respectful approach will find Nicholas easy to talk to. He aims to help people feel heard and more able to manage day-to-day pressures and longer-term concerns.

Step 3

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what you say and helps you find your own solutions; this can be useful for anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and how you want to live; it can help when people face grief, big life changes or questions about direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicholas will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which way of working feels most helpful. That process is collaborative and can change as needs do.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make timing easier, help fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins if needed, or sessions without video if that suits you better. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical options to help therapy fit everyday life.
