About Nels
Nels Rodwell is a counsellor with NCPS credentialing and 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and also offers coaching to support practical change. She believes clients know their own stories and brings a steady, non-judgemental presence to help people take the first brave step towards change.
Her style combines person-centred warmth with practical tools from cognitive approaches. She trained in Person Centred, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and blends talking therapy with creative work such as writing therapy. For face-to-face work she also practises as a dual therapist combining counselling with massage.
Nels works with adults from different nationalities and age ranges. She helps people untangle communication problems, commitment worries, codependency, attachment issues and the emotional aftermath of separation or domestic violence. She also supports those coping with natural or human-caused disaster and people affected by dissociation or control issues.
The sessions focus on building self-awareness, self-agency and practical skills. Nels aims to help clients understand their reactions, process difficult life events, and strengthen relationships with themselves and others. She encourages vulnerability, empathy and responsibility as routes to clearer choices.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with actionable steps. She offers tools to internalise new ways of coping and to promote deeper connection in daily life.
How Nels blends therapeutic approaches for online work
Nels draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people improve emotional connection and trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety and change routines.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means sessions can move between exploring feelings, trying new behaviour strategies and practising skills together.
For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity when people are in different countries, since international clients are accepted. The focus remains on making sessions useful for everyday life and on building tools that transfer to daily routines.
