About Nikki
Nikki Croce is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self esteem, addictions and depression. Nikki also helps people carrying guilt and shame and those dealing with body image or attachment issues.
She supports people after sexual assault and domestic violence and has experience helping clients through pre-trial circumstances and the period afterwards. Nikki works alongside clients to identify the particular problems that disrupt identity, control, achievement or relationships. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals rather than vague promises.
Nikki uses a trauma-informed stance and adapts methods to the situation. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s perspective, and on Trauma-Focused Therapy and Somatic approaches when the body and memories still feel activated. She also uses solution-focused ideas to map next steps and small changes.
Her work includes supporting people with eating and food-related issues, postpartum difficulties and process addictions such as exercise or gambling. She also assists those with self-harm urges, sexual assault recovery, and young adult transitions. Nikki has worked with people from a wide range of cultures, sexual orientations and identities.
Sessions begin by identifying practical goals and assessing what feels most urgent. Nikki aims to help people notice strengths they already have and to plan the next steps that fit day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Nikki blends Client-Centred Therapy with trauma-focused and somatic methods. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own perspective and pacing, helping people feel heard and guiding decisions about what to work on. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets memories and patterns that keep someone stuck, offering structured ways to process distressing events. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily responses and can help with symptoms that show up as tension or dissociation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nikki will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit those aims. That might mean focusing on short-term solutions first, then moving into trauma-focused or somatic practices if helpful. The plan is decided together and adjusted as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, avoiding travel, or choosing exchanges that do not need video. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical advantages, and Nikki will work with the format you choose to make sessions useful for everyday life.
