Nadine Daubney

Nadine Daubney is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression and other life changes. She writes simply and directly, and aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow for people feeling overwhelmed. Her approach is warm, down-to-earth and non-judgemental. Nadine encourages people to learn tools so they can manage problems between sessions.

She trained after a long international career and brings that life experience into her work. Nadine has eight years' practice and has run around 10,000 counselling sessions with people aged 16 to 88. Her caseload has included people from many backgrounds and circumstances, including supporting clients who use sign language interpreters.

Nadine combines person-centred counselling with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused work. In plain language she helps people understand patterns, try practical strategies, and process difficult memories or losses. Sessions are tailored to each person and move at a pace they find comfortable.

People come to her for many issues, from stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns to addiction, chronic illness and bereavement. She also supports those facing cancer, caregiver strain, and ageing or life transitions. She avoids stigmatising labels and treats people with respect and compassion.

Her style is interactive and pragmatic - Nadine aims to hear people fully and to offer techniques they can use after the session. She invites potential clients to have an initial conversation to see whether her way of working feels like a good fit.

How Nadine uses therapy approaches online

Nadine draws on person-centred counselling to create a respectful space where people are listened to without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and to explore what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or motivation.

When trauma or difficult losses are present she incorporates trauma-focused methods to help process painful memories at a pace the person can manage. These techniques aim to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nadine will discuss options with each person and adapt methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to be collaborative and to explain choices in clear language.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Arrange a brief initial booking to see how the practicalities would suit your routine and to agree how to work together.
