About Nika Bowens

Nika Bowens is a UK-based therapist with eight years of professional experience supporting people through some of life’s more complex and difficult moments. She has worked with individuals facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and major life transitions, and she brings experience working with neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism, as well as those managing chronic health conditions. Her background also includes significant work with clients from multicultural, expatriate and international backgrounds, drawing on her own lived experience of navigating life across cultures.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative space for gentle exploration, paced to each person’s needs and respectful of their individual story. Thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns from both past and present are treated with attention rather than judgment, and trust is used as the foundation for noticing what may be getting in the way and where certain beliefs or habits may have originated. Clients bring insight, resilience and lived experience into the room, and she offers curiosity, care and practical support to help bring clarity, self-understanding and meaningful change.

Nika holds BACP membership (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and values a compassionate, non-judgemental way of working. Reaching out for support can be a significant and courageous step, and she aims to provide a steady and respectful space for people to move forward at their own pace.

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common challenges - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes - online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions, offering a practical alternative for those seeking support.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the way that feels most comfortable to them - by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy or complex schedules. Licensed professionals offer these options so people can choose the format that best suits their needs and circumstances.

Therapists are trained to adapt therapeutic approaches to remote work, and people can switch to a different therapist at any time if they would prefer a different fit. For many, online therapy provides a convenient and effective route to consistent support when facing personal challenges or life transitions.
