About Nicola
Nicola Willmott is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She has worked for the NHS, a bereavement charity and in private practice. Nicola supports people who are feeling stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self‑esteem and issues related to adult ADHD.
Her practice is person‑centred, which means she starts from what matters to the person in front of her. Nicola also describes herself as neurodivergent affirming and has a particular interest in adult ADHD and autism. She listens for how past experiences and current pressures affect day‑to‑day life and practical choices.
Nicola draws on several therapeutic approaches rather than using only one method. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and she works with attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns. Elements of psychodynamic thinking and transactional analysis also inform how she helps people notice recurring themes.
Sessions typically focus on clear, practical steps as well as on making sense of feelings. Nicola encourages people to recognise their existing strengths and to try small experiments between sessions. She aims for straightforward conversation and concrete tools that can be used in daily life.
If someone wants to begin, the usual route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Nicola’s work is intended for adults seeking direction after changes in work, relationships or health, or for people wanting more clarity about what matters next.
How Nicola uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Nicola often combines person‑centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment‑based ideas. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people see how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers practical experiments to test new ways of responding. Attachment‑based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns influence how someone relates, which can be useful for relationship strain and self‑esteem issues. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nicola collaborates with each person to identify which methods feel most useful for their situation, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and any between‑session tasks. Confirm the available session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people value online sessions for fitting therapy into daily life, such as arranging a shorter check‑in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time to an appointment. Online work can also make it easier to continue therapy during changes in work, health or location, while allowing the therapist and client to choose approaches that suit quieter or busier days.Areas of expertise
