Nancy Brookes , BACP

Nancy Brookes is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of professional practice. She is accredited by the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Over the course of her work she has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes.

Nancy focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. She aims to help clients explore difficult experiences and develop practical ways to cope, whether they are navigating loss, managing panic or social anxiety, or adjusting to major life transitions. Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing often requires courage, and she positions herself as a steady and supportive presence throughout that process.

Her practice also attends to related concerns such as issues arising from cancer, domestic violence, guilt and shame, sexuality, self-love, and matters affecting young adults and women. Nancy offers care that acknowledges both immediate needs and longer term goals, working collaboratively with each person to find an approach that fits their situation.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Nancy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. This often involves structured conversations and practical skill-building that help people identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and build routines that reduce day-to-day distress. These methods are focused on clear goals and tools clients can use between sessions.

Alongside symptom-focused work, Nancy provides compassionate support for trauma, abuse, and grief. That work centers on creating space to process difficult emotions, understand the impact of significant losses or traumatic events, and gradually rebuild a sense of safety and agency. Sessions can combine paced emotional processing with practical steps to manage triggers and overwhelm.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Nancy approaches this collaboratively. She works with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face connection without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for those with busy schedules or who prefer written communication. These options can make ongoing work more accessible and easier to fit into daily life, supporting consistent progress with a licensed professional.
