Nadine Daubney , BACP

Nadine Daubney is a BACP-registered counsellor who brings eight years of professional experience to her practice, combining a warm, down-to-earth presence with practical therapeutic skills. She trained in person-centred counselling and has completed post-graduate study in High-Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - an advanced form of CBT - as well as additional training in trauma-focused approaches and bereavement support. She is also a member of the BABCP and is awaiting accreditation.

Nadine developed her therapeutic style after an international career that highlighted the powerful effect of being truly heard by a nonjudgemental, independent professional. Her work blends humanistic, client-centred principles with evidence-informed CBT techniques and trauma-focused interventions, and she explains concepts in plain language so clients can apply strategies between sessions. Her aim is to help people gain tools and skills so they can increasingly manage their own wellbeing over time.

Her caseload has been wide-ranging, working with people aged from 16 to 88 and delivering thousands of counselling sessions. She has supported clients across different backgrounds and life circumstances, including work with sign language interpreters for deaf clients, volunteer counselling for people experiencing homelessness, and therapy for corporate leaders. Presenting issues have included depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, OCD, questions about sexuality, career change, and the stresses of relocation.

Nadine describes her role as supportive rather than prescriptive - she does not 'fix' problems but helps clients identify ways to manage them and reach their own decisions about next steps. Her practice is respectful, sensitive, and paced to each individual, with a focus on empathy and practical outcomes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Nadine integrates client-centred therapy and trauma-focused work with cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgemental space where clients can explore their feelings and values at their own pace - this approach is well suited to issues around self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learning practical strategies to shift them - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences, offering tools to manage symptoms and rebuild a sense of safety and agency.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Nadine works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy with Nadine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow sessions to be arranged around work, family, or mobility needs.
