About Nigel
Nigel Jordan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 16 years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. He lists Narrative therapy among his approaches and uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions.
Nigel focuses on making sense of problems as they show up in everyday life. He listens for the stories people tell about themselves and the patterns that keep causing pain.
Background and approach
That can be useful for issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and communication problems. Practical tools are offered alongside reflective conversation. He uses ideas drawn from Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships shape current responses.
Cognitive techniques are used where thinking patterns and behaviours get in the way of feeling better. Nigel also supports people coping with trauma, domestic violence, addiction and chronic illness. He draws on Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centred ways of working to help clients feel understood and to explore strong emotions safely.
Sessions aim to be clear, paced to the person, and focused on useful next steps. People who prefer a calm, direct counsellor tend to fit well with his style. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time to begin.

How Nigel brings Narrative and attachment work online
Nigel uses Narrative therapy to help people notice and rework the stories that shape their lives. This approach helps when patterns feel fixed or identity issues are getting in the way of relationships and self-worth. It encourages people to name their problems, see alternatives and try new ways of being.He also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early relationship experiences affect current responses. That work helps when trust, closeness or emotional reactivity cause repeated problems. Client-Centred methods are used to keep sessions person-focused and respectful, providing space for clients to lead what matters most to them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Nigel works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, needs and preferences, and checks in about what is helping as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or different communication needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
