Nels Rodwell uses a person-centred way of working to help people through stress, anxiety, relationship problems and trauma. She draws on 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and treats each person with respect and warmth. Nels believes people know their own story and brings steady support while clients find their own solutions.

Her approach combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among other methods. In practice this means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings, listens without judgement, and helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build self-awareness and practical coping skills. Nels has a background that includes work with trauma and abuse, and with issues around self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also supports people with a wide range of relationship concerns such as commitment worries, communication problems and separation.

Her experience covers many additional areas including body image, codependency and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Clients can expect a collaborative style that balances emotional understanding with concrete tools. Nels offers writing therapy and, in face-to-face work, combines counselling with massage as part of a dual-therapy approach.

She emphasises empathy, responsibility and self-agency as central to lasting change. English is used in sessions, and she works with people from different nationalities. Practical steps are offered so clients can learn to manage difficult emotions and strengthen connections with themselves and others.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns, name emotions and try new ways of relating in current relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and non-judgemental presence to help clients find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative stance means work can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities become clearer.

Online formats offer real practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a full conversation and visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for ongoing check-ins, written reflection and times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to book regular sessions and to keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
