Nancy Cannon-Ikurusi helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with workplace difficulties, anger, career decisions and depression. Nancy welcomes clients who are navigating attachment or commitment issues, communication breakdowns, loneliness, or questions about life purpose and self-love.

She offers a compassionate, respectful approach and recognises that taking the first step can feel difficult. Nancy holds BACP accreditation, which indicates professional registration in the UK.

Background and approach

She has seven years of experience working with adults across a range of concerns. In sessions she adapts her style to each person, shaping conversations and plans to match what a client needs right now. Her way of working is practical and straightforward.

Nancy listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals. She focuses on clear communication skills, improving relationships, and building confidence to handle stressful situations. The aim is to leave each session with something useful to try.

Nancy emphasises collaboration. Clients can expect a mixture of talking, reflective questions, and gentle coaching to explore patterns and try new responses. She pays attention to how past attachment experiences influence current relationships and decisions.

Sessions are designed to fit everyday life. Nancy supports people working through forgiveness, control issues, or choosing a new direction at work. She keeps the pace appropriate to each person and adjusts the plan as goals change.

Practical approaches and online support

Many clients benefit from evidence-based talking approaches that focus on patterns in relationships and day-to-day coping. One common approach looks at attachment-related patterns to understand how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and communication styles; this helps with trust, commitment issues and improving closeness. Another helpful method focuses on practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, pacing and step-by-step behavioural changes to reduce overwhelm and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nancy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want to reflect between messages, or need an on-the-go way to keep momentum. These options help fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional support.
