About Nelly

Nelly Kamwa is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy concerns and self-esteem struggles. Her work includes practical help for sleeping and eating problems, parenting strains, anger and coping with life changes including ADHD-related challenges.

Nelly creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. She aims to make conversations straightforward and calm, so people can say what matters and start to notice what helps. Taking the first step can feel daunting; she offers steady support through that early work.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and actions, alongside acceptance and commitment ideas that help people live by their values. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current struggles. Dialectical behaviour therapy skills can be brought in to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

With five years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, she combines practical strategies with a warm, respectful style. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and small, manageable steps towards those goals. Nelly encourages clients to find ways to cope that fit their daily life.

People often leave sessions with clearer next steps and simple tools to try between meetings. She invites anyone considering support to take the matching questionnaire and schedule a session to see if her way of working feels right.

How therapy approaches guide online sessions

Nelly uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and to try small changes that can make a real difference. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression and many daily challenges where patterns of thinking and action keep people stuck.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take actions that matter to them even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be helpful for long‑running worry, low mood and for deciding what kind of life someone wants to build.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaboration means plans can change as new information or challenges arise.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into their schedules and daily routines, and it can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions can fit with work, family and other commitments.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
