About Nicola
Nicola Willmott is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She has worked in the NHS, for a bereavement charity and in private practice. Nicola helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and ADHD-related issues.
She describes herself as neurodivergent affirming and has a particular interest in adult ADHD and autism. Nicola uses a person-centred stance that focuses on the client’s own perspective and strengths. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns that keep problems going.
Her work is integrative, meaning she combines several approaches to fit what someone needs in the room. That can include exploring early attachment patterns, looking at present-day thinking and behaviour, or using mindfulness to manage strong emotions. Sessions are conversational and practical; Nicola aims to break down issues into clear, manageable steps.
People contact her about grief and loss, motivation and confidence, or complex situations such as chronic illness and care-giver stress. She also supports those dealing with body image, codependency, commitment and separation. Nicola pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice alternatives.
Expect short, straightforward sessions that focus on goals and small changes between meetings. Nicola asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and to book an initial appointment through the online options button provided.
How her approaches translate to online work
Nicola commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT focuses on practical steps - noticing a thought, trying a small change, and reviewing what happened - which can be easy to structure in remote sessions.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current reactions. That approach helps when someone wants to understand why they feel anxious in relationships or keep repeating patterns. Her person-centred way of working means the client’s perspective guides which methods are used and when.
Nicola will work with a client to agree which mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences, so choosing a method is a collaborative process. She helps set clear, short-term aims and checks progress regularly to adapt the plan as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health issues and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to maintain regular contact and practical focus.
