About Nels
Nels Rodwell is a counsellor who combines existential ideas with practical strategies. She brings 25 years of experience in the United Kingdom and believes people are the experts in their own lives. Nels focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.
She also offers coaching to help people find direction and motivation. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens without judgement and helps people name what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build practical skills for managing distress and clearer thinking about choices and values. Nels trained in person-centred work, Gestalt and cognitive behavioural methods. She also uses attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused techniques to help people understand patterns in close relationships.
In some face-to-face work she combines counselling with massage and offers writing therapy as an additional tool. She has worked with adults from many nationalities and across a wide range of concerns. Nels helps clients develop self-awareness, responsibility and self-agency while practising empathy and kindness towards themselves.
The work often includes learning coping strategies and communication skills to improve daily life. People who come for support can expect clear, practical steps alongside space to reflect on meaning and values. Nels aims to help people process experiences, strengthen relationships and move towards more satisfying life choices.

Online support
Approach and online therapy options
Existential therapy here invites people to look at meaning, choice and values when life feels confusing or overwhelming. It helps with questions about purpose, loss, identity and how to live in line with what matters most. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and change those patterns for healthier contact with others.Client-centred therapy offers a calm, non-directive space where the counsellor reflects and supports whoever seeks help. This approach is useful for building self-worth, exploring feelings and gaining clarity about next steps. Nels uses these approaches together with practical tools so the work is both thoughtful and useful for day-to-day problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will ask about your goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past. That shared planning guides which methods are used and how sessions are shaped.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls give a near face-to-face experience, phone sessions can be easier with lower bandwidth, and live chat or messaging work well for short check-ins or when writing feels helpful. These options make therapy flexible for work, travel or busy family routines.
