Nadine Daubney, BACP
About me
Hi, my name is Nadine. Thank you for taking a minute to read my profile .
I am a BACP registered counsellor with 8+ years’ experience as a person centred counsellor, with additional specific training in trauma-based techniques and bereavement. I also completed post-graduate study in Hi Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and am a member of the BABCP (awaiting accreditation).
I trained as a counsellor after gaining a wealth of life-experience during an international career that taught me so much about the value of being truly heard by an independent, non judgmental person. However, my aim is to also teach you some tools and techniques so that over time, you become your own therapist.
I have worked with clients of all ages, nationalities and other variables, including with sign language interpreters for deaf clients.
My clients to date have presented with a vast range of problems including depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, career challenges and new directions, OCD, bereavement, questioning sexuality, and issues regarding settling in to new life circumstances / locations / countries. I am also very experienced in supporting clients who have suffered trauma and abuse and who may be experiencing PTSD.
I have worked with hundreds of clients aged between16 to 88 years, and have delivered c.10,000 counselling sessions to date. My client base is very varied, including CEOs of nationwide companies to homeless people living in hostels (I worked as a volunteer weekend counsellor for years to support the latter).
As a therapist, I cannot ‘fix’ your problems but I can support you to identify ways to better manage them, and to reach your own conclusions about what action to take or not take.
My style is down to earth, warm and interactive, and I work at your pace. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not use stigmatising labels.
My approach integrates humanistic, person centred counselling theory with elements of CBT and other techniques I trained in. Simply put, when we work together I speak in layman's terms and tailor our sessions to meet your needs.
It know it takes courage to take the first steps towards change, but what happens if you don’t take them?
Thanks again for reading my profile. I look forward to talking with you to give you a chance to see if you like my style and would like to work with me.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nadine Daubney. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I would highly recommend Nadine again and again. She is a lovely, funny, sunshine person. Nadine makes me feel comfortable to open up to her and I am able to let my emotions out. I have 100% faith in her knowledge and ability and I always enjoy our sessions even if they are tough/heavy. I love the fact that Nadine will make sure to make you smile before she wraps up the session and she never fails to do so.

I’ve been working with Nadine Daubney for 18 months, and from the very beginning, I experienced immediate improvements. When I first started, I was in so much emotional pain that it even manifested physically. But through her guidance and support, I’m now at a place where I can actually plan for the future and imagine good things happening in my life—a shift I never thought was possible. She helped me rewire my mind in ways I didn’t even know were needed, and I’m truly grateful for her compassionate and transformative approach. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking real, lasting change. I truly wish she has someone in her life who is at least half as good as she is. She deserves it.

Nadine has been a very important figure in my mental health journey. She has the ability to dig deep into thoughts, fears and needs, always engaging in insightful and stimulating conversations. She has been making me feel extremely comfortable, heard and truly understood, offering a safe space for me to open up. I have recently regained a positive outlook on life thanks to her and I am so grateful for that.
