Nicholas Damin, BACP, NCPS

Nicholas Damin is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He welcomes people who feel nervous or unsure about starting therapy and aims to make the first steps easier. He presents himself as a calm, non-judgemental presence and prioritises helping people feel heard and understood.

Nick draws on three years of practice supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. He also works with those facing grief, family tensions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges with self-esteem or motivation. He lists ADHD and LGBT concerns among his areas of focus as well.

His way of working is warm and flexible. Sessions move at the client’s pace and Nick uses everyday language rather than jargon. He often introduces creative tools and practical exercises to help people notice patterns and try small changes between sessions.

Nick uses Client-Centred and Existential approaches. That means the work begins with what matters to the individual, and then looks at values, choices and meaning. He aims to help people make decisions that fit with who they are and what they want from life.

Starting therapy with Nick is presented as a step-by-step process. He describes counselling as a joint effort where small, steady progress matters more than quick solutions. People who want a respectful, down-to-earth counsellor may find his style a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves active listening and reflecting so the individual feels understood and can decide what matters most. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship questions where being heard is the priority.

Existential Therapy looks at values, choices and meaning in life. It encourages people to consider what matters to them and how they want to live. That approach can help when someone faces big life changes, grief, or questions about identity and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try ways of working that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and may be adjusted as the relationship develops.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family life, reduce travel time and offer a way to check in from wherever you are. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or audio-only calls if being on camera is difficult.
