About Nico
Nico Novell is a counsellor with 20 years of experience who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, family conflict and identity concerns. He works with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish and Catalan, and international clients may be seen.
Nico uses a straightforward, respectful style and adapts conversation to each person’s needs. He listens first, then helps people find practical ways to manage stress, addiction or difficult feelings. He emphasises sensitivity and compassion in every meeting.
His background spans two decades of working with a broad range of issues. That includes help with eating and body image concerns, codependency, communication problems and challenges that come from family of origin patterns. He also supports people coping with life changes such as separation, caregiving strain or a cancer diagnosis.
Nico draws on client‑centred work to keep sessions focused on the person in front of him. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and affect relationships. Together these approaches help people make sense of feelings and try different ways of relating.
To begin, clients fill a short matching questionnaire and book a slot through the Start Therapy button. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
How his approaches shape online counselling
Nico uses client‑centred work to keep the focus on the person seeking help. That approach means the counsellor listens closely, follows what matters to the client and shapes sessions around their priorities. It is often useful for dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and everyday coping difficulties.He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and behaviour. This can help when people want to understand where certain reactions come from and how past experiences affect current choices. Psychodynamic work can support deeper reflection around family of origin issues, abandonment feelings and recurrent relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nico works collaboratively, discussing aims and trying ways of working that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Together they adjust the focus over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when that suits a busy day. They can also help when someone prefers to speak in English, Spanish or Catalan without needing to travel.
