Nadine Daubney, BACP

Nadine Daubney is a BACP counsellor with eight years of hands-on experience. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, grief, anxiety, depression and life changes. Nadine writes simply and listens closely so people can find practical next steps that suit their life.

Her approach is person centred, which means the conversation follows what matters to the client. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, and trauma-focused techniques when helpful. Sessions are conversational and down to earth, with short-term tools and longer-term reflection mixed together.

Nadine has worked with people from many backgrounds and life stages. Her caseload has included everything from career transitions and relationship strain to bereavement, chronic illness and trauma. She has experience working with deaf clients using sign language interpreters where needed.

In sessions she avoids labels and treats people with respect and compassion. She aims to help clients recognise patterns, try new ways of coping, and gradually manage symptoms such as sleeplessness, low mood or overwhelming anxiety. The aim is to support people to make choices that feel right for them.

She draws on life experience gained during an international career alongside formal training. Nadine also offers coaching-style tools when a client wants practical steps for change. If someone is unsure what to expect, she invites a short conversation to see whether her style feels like a good fit.

How Nadine’s approaches work for online therapy

Nadine uses a person centred or Client-Centred Therapy approach which focuses on putting the client’s concerns first and following the conversation where it leads. This helps when someone needs space to be heard about grief, identity questions, or life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, which looks at unhelpful thought patterns and offers practical techniques to shift them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles and managing stress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are causing ongoing distress. This involves pacing the work, offering stabilisation techniques, and building skills to reduce day-to-day symptoms related to trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then tailor methods as sessions progress. Clients help shape the way work is done rather than having a fixed plan imposed on them.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone choose whether to be on camera. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency with their work on stress, sleep, trauma recovery and daily coping.
