Nic has always been helpful and respectful of me and my needs. She listens and she isn't afraid to challenge me when it is needed. I love that she puts a personal touch on our sessions because it makes me feel less lonely and know that I am not the only person experiencing the struggles I currently have. Thank you so much Nic for getting me to where I am today. I wouldn't be here without our sessions.and all of my friends and family have seen the change in me. Thank you so much

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Nicola has been so kind, caring and compassionate. She listens to my needs and responds in a very caring and kind way. Her expertise and support are helping me reframe my thoughts and change a lifetime habit of negativity. Thank you Nicola!
Nicola has been a blessing. I have had so many different therapists and never found anything that works for me but now I have my life back. Nicola is kind, caring, understanding and highly skilled. She makes me feel at ease and listens to all my concerns. No matter what I struggle with Nicola has a way to help me. She gives me the tools and support I need to help myself which is very important. I have completely turned my life around and couldn't be happier.
Nic has helped me feel seen and understood throughout this journey of introspection and I especially value her candour, warm demeanour and sense of humour. She's very gentle and perceptive and has helped me by guiding me towards being kinder to myself. Thanks for all your help Nic!
Nic is a fantastic therapist and if I could recommend her specifically to all of my friends I would. She's amazing and has been really great in helping me navigate all of my trauma this past year and I know she will continue doing so for however long it takes me to process every thing I've been through. Thank you so much for all of your help and your support I honestly don't think I would be were I am today without you
Great at working out what I need on each session. Sometimes I can be pressed to open up more which is done with great support, sometimes I just need a good rant and that is calmly accepted also. Great experience with Nicola.
Nicola has such a kind heart. She’s really helped me this past year. Chatting to her feels like chatting to a close friend about all my problems, our chats don’t feel forced. She always makes me feel comfortable and safe. Thank you Nic x
Nicola is the best therapist I've ever had, she respects my process and how I move through my traumas
Nicola is fantastic! Best therapist I've ever had. She's engaged, cares and very smart.
Nicola has guided me gently unraveling my past and learning ways to deal what comes of it. Also great with switching to current stresses. Knowing when to be be gentle and support, and when to push into dealing with darker things. Having Nicola as a therapist has been a highlight of my year and I feel very lucky.
Im so happy I found Nicola for therapy at a time when I really needed help to get myself out of a dark phase of my life. Nicola is amazing. She provides unconditional positive regard, holds me accountable and challenges the negative views I have of myself. Nicola usually checks in with me throughout the week to see how I am and provides me with suitable work to do in between sessions. Nicola is the perfect therapist, she’s understanding, empathetic, non judgmental and caring. It always amazes me how she provides me with another perspective on situations that I hadn’t thought of. I feel really grateful she’s my therapist, thanks Nic! :)
Nicola is fantastic! Really supportive, communicative and open to the ways I want to address my issues. Can’t recommend her enough!
I have had many therapist and types of therapy. This has been the most supportive and helpful that I had yet.
Very intelligent, professional and human. I definitely recommend
This was my second therapist with Better Help and I couldn’t be happier with Nicola, immediately I found her easy to talk to, which helped me to feel more comfortable sharing. She makes me feel heard and pushes me to work on things that are easily avoided. She reaches out to check in and encourages me to do the same. I am very grateful to have found her. I’ve always believed therapy was important and can help everyone, but when you find the correct person for you, it’s amazing how you can get so much more out of it and work towards becoming a better version of yourself. She’s helped my confidence with life changing decisions I’ve made and she continues to help me heal from past trauma that I never even knew was causing me pain. **Thanks Nic!!!!
I've had a great experience with Nicola. It was great to be guided to open up properly for the first time and then supported when dealing with what came of it. Also directed to additional resources, books to read so I can work on my myself also.
Nic has been a pleasure to work with. A great mix of kindness, openness and expertise. Nic also uses subtil and effective ways to gently guide me through paths and views that help me get a better/clearer picture of different situations, hence allowing me to acquire more confidence and different ways of experiencing life- in a healthier manner.
I am so glad I joined better help and was matched with Nicola as a therapist. I feel like she always listens and completely understands. She has made such a difference to my life already. Highly recommend working with her
Nic is an amazing therapist, so kind and patient. She listens well and gives great advise. Within the first session I knew I would be safe in her hands and felt reassured already. I would without a doubt recommend using her services. Better than any other out there.
I cannot recommend Nicola enough! She listens and reaches out. She challenges me to work on myself and guides me through this. When we have our sessions I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel. She's the best therapist I've ever had. I've had therapy several times and this is the first time I feel I have truly turned a corner. Thank you Nicola, you have given me all the tools I need to live a healthy happy life!
Nic has been great from day one, making me feel at ease the moment we started our sessions. She's listens to me and takes great care to help me through situations. I had doubts about getting another therapist as my previous one I felt I did not gain much from but with Nic it was immediately I realised how supportive she was. I'm looking forward to future sessions with Nic.
Nic was fantastic helping me she is very kind and caring and understanding. I definitely would recommend her she was able to help me so much
Over the past few months, Nic has not only held a professional and reliable etiquette as a therapist, she has been real, raw, human and a friend. Nic was and is an eager listening ear, reminding us of how important our voices are, at times when we think no one else wants to hear. Every session left all worries feeling smaller and a lingering feeling of support followed after. Honesty, gentle strength and encouragement were easy to be felt with any interaction. Thanks for all your help Nic, will miss having you to chat to every week. Keep sharing your magic
Such an amazing therapist. Feels like I have known her for many years
Nicola is honestly amazing, she is attentive, compassionate and thoughtful. She listens and understands you fully and is so easy to speak to, she knows exactly what is going on with you and I couldn’t ask for a better therapist! I’m so grateful for her support and she has allowed me to understand myself and helped me immensely navigate through my toughest times, genuinely recommend her to anyone and everyone!
I could not recommend Nic enough, she is the best therapist I could have hoped for. I felt empowered and positive after every session, and know I will return to her if I ever need help in the future. 6/5 stars
In a handful of session only, Nic helped get me back on track to a less anxious state. Nic is very perceptive and spots things that you wouldn’t expect anyone else to. She’s warm, kind and thoughtful. Her approach is based on what’s best for her patient. Thank you Nic.
Nicola has restored my faith in therapy! She’s a great listener, very friendly and interactive, and gives great inputs and feedbacks during the session. I feel very comfortable talking to her and I’m always looking forward to our next session! I would recommend her very highly!
Nic is a lovely human being who happens to be a great therapist. I enjoyed my sessions with her and our great conversations. She was very straightforward and never hesitated to call out the “issues” arising in my life, respectfully and as agreed upon. I would recommend her 100/100 and give her a
Amazing
Ive had some sessions now with Nic, and she is truly amazing as a therapist. She is knowledgable, provides engaging worksheets, explains things simply and interacts during the session so it never feels like I am talking to a wall. I have already recommended her to so many people, I cannot wait to continue with her.
Nicola Edworthy does seem to me, to be very kind and professional. Also very much with a realistic and in-depth willingness to understand me from the perspective of being very different from herself - And helping me to feel humanised past a lot of negativity, that I start to notice, I'm much better than. As for many of us, life had been getting on top of me, and I'm glad I reached out.
Nicola/Nic, is hands down the best therapist I have ever met. She has the best ways of making you think differently and approach things differently. And she is so so easy to speak to. She is an amazing listener. If you want her help i couldn't recommend her more. 5 stars. top notch
Always listening, kind, and full of good advice, Nicola has been incredibly helpful to me in moments when it was much needed. I can't stress how grateful I am for our sessions, which I have always been happier and calmer after than before. One more time, thank you!
I am very glad to be talking to Nicola. She is extremely thoughtful, supporting, and kind. Instead of giving blanket tips, Nicola is very responsive to me and really tries to understand my situation deeply and and comes up with individual suggestions. She is extremely engaged and proactive. She reaches out to me in between sessions and really takes a lot of time for me. I feel very understood by Nicola and I can highly recommend her.
It is my first time on betterhelp, but not my first time in therapy. And I couldn't hope to find a better therapist than Ms.Edworthy to help me out again.
For years I have been hesitant to speak with an adult or even therapist because I was always afraid that I wouldn’t be heard or I’d be silently judge or the feeling that they would use text book quotes at me. With Nicola Edworthy she listens and understands how you feel. She takes the time to go through each problem you have. She has been very comfortable to speak with from the beginning to this day. She will make sure your comfort comes first .
Nic is very kind, positive, person who is very easy and comfortable to talk to. She is very good listenerz taking time to understand and asking the right questions to help connect the dots to particular issues or past tranmas that might be causing behaviours, feelings or distress. With that she can help unpick and realign to refocus a potential negative mindset and help someone develop and progress to a more positive outlook and perspective with self love at the core. I would definitely whole heartedly recommend Nic!
If you are apprehensive about starting therapy I’d highly recommend starting with Nicola. Nicola is very easy to talk to and after a few bad experiences with other therapists I was wary. I haven’t looked back and am so glad I took the chance. Nicola always replies in a timely manor and is happy to reach out anytime.
Nicola is fantastic! She understood me quickly and provided strong actionable insight that has helped me immensely. She is attentive and responds in a very timely manner.
Thank you Nicola, for helping me find my way back. The way you listen and give advise is commendable. I've had various therapists over the years and would highly recommend you for your warm articulate manner that I really connected with, which is key when opening up. Great advice, always punctual and the worksheets extremely insightful. 'I'll do the right thing' from now on.
Having only had one video session but many interactions via the messaging system I am thoroughly satisfied. Nicola is kind and open to everything that is brought up. She helps navigate and gives me the power to get myself through this. I feel much lighter just knowing there is support. I believe that Nicola goes above and beyond and this has really given me faith that things can be dealt with.
After a number of false starts with therapists, I can only say that I wish I had found Nicola sooner! Nicola really helped me to elucidate and articulate the origins of deeply embedded patterns of negative and self defeating thinking, which proved essential in enabling her to then work with me to develop practical strategies for loosening their grip. She is patient and compassionate while being proactive and constructively challenging when she needs to be. I found this combination of empathy and robust testing of my negative perceptions immensely helpful. Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or feeling like therapy is a dead end, I believe you have nothing to lose and plenty gain by seeking out a session with Nicola. Thanks for everything Nicola!
I Really appreciate the support here, and what I really like is that my therapist Dr.Nicola listens and thinks with me, trying to link Whats happening and how to move forward. Exploring the parts of the past was really helpful as well.
