About Nels

Nels Rodwell is a counsellor who uses person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make practical changes. She has NCPS credentialing and brings 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Nels speaks English and works with adults from different nationalities. She emphasises respect for each person’s story and strengths as the starting point for change.

Nels focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship worries and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Her approach treats the client as the expert in their life while offering tools to handle painful thoughts and patterns.

Her training includes person-centred work, Gestalt and cognitive behavioural therapy. She combines counselling with creative approaches such as writing therapy, and with massage when sessions are face to face. These options are used to help people access feeling, body awareness and clearer self-expression.

Nels aims to travel alongside people without judgement. She helps clients build self-awareness, self-agency and accountability while practising kindness and vulnerability. Sessions focus on understanding life events and relationships and on developing practical steps for deeper connection with self and others.

Clients who work with Nels can expect a supportive, down-to-earth style and tools to process experience. She encourages steady progress and collaborates with people to find ways forward that fit their life and goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations using this approach look at how people relate, where they feel unsafe, and ways to build more secure ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection so the client can clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Online CBT often uses short exercises, mood tracking and practical homework to change patterns between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nels will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may combine approaches over time rather than sticking to a single model.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular weekly sessions around work or family commitments. Because the exact session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current online and face-to-face options before booking so you know what style and scheduling will suit you.
