Nadine Daubney, BACP

Nadine Daubney is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people navigate difficult life phases, including midlife change. She writes plainly and listens without judgement. Nadine encourages clients to find practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, grief and other problems that interrupt daily life.

She trained after a varied international career and brings life experience to her work. Her style is down to earth, warm and interactive, and she works at each person’s pace. Nadine focuses on helping people learn simple tools so they can feel more in control between sessions.

Her clinical approach mixes person-centred principles with cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused methods. That means sessions often combine open listening with practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Nadine explains things in everyday language and adapts sessions to what each person needs.

Over eight years she has worked with a broad range of people and has delivered around 10,000 counselling sessions. She has supported people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, addiction, career transitions, identity questions and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Nadine has experience working with clients across different ages and backgrounds, and has worked with sign language interpreters when required. She describes her role as supporting clients to identify manageable steps and reach their own conclusions, rather than fixing problems for them.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions, focusing on listening, empathy and helping the client find their own answers. It suits people wanting a supportive, reflective space to talk through life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers straightforward techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and stress with practical exercises between sessions.

Trauma-focused therapy targets the effects of traumatic events and uses specific methods to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often helpful when past experiences continue to affect current life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a way forward together. This is a collaborative process that may blend different methods to suit the person.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what would fit your routine and needs.
