About Nels

NCPS credential. 25 years' professional experience. Nels Rodwell works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and offers coaching support.

Nels trained in Person-Centred therapy, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and describes the client as the expert in their own story. She combines conversational counselling with practical tools to help people understand and process life events. She also offers writing therapy and, in face-to-face work, integrates massage alongside counselling.

Her approach places attention on attachment patterns and emotions, and she uses techniques from attachment-based work, emotionally focused therapy and CBT to address relationship and mood difficulties. Sessions include discussion of feelings and behaviours and practical exercises to try between meetings.

Nels has worked with adults across different ages and nationalities. She lists additional focus areas including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, domestic violence, and separation and divorce.

She aims to help people build self-awareness, self-agency and accountability. Practical goals may include clearer communication, improved coping with stress, and greater confidence in decisions. The first steps involve identifying priorities and agreeing the methods to use in counselling.

Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. For the first appointment clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session using the See online counselling options button.

How Nels integrates counselling approaches in online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means talking about relationship histories and noticing how these patterns turn up in present life, which can help with trust and connection issues.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing, and the work often involves reflecting feelings and helping someone find their own solutions; this suits people who prefer a conversational, exploratory pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short assignments to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nels will discuss your goals, preferences and needs and then suggest which combination of methods to try. That decision is made together and can change as counselling progresses.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online delivery methods. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, reduce travel, and permit shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow those who prefer writing-based exercises to continue therapeutic writing between meetings.
