About Nicola

Nicola Willmott is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, respectful approach for people coping with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and worries about self-esteem. Nicola also has a particular interest in adult ADHD and autism and supports neurodivergent-affirming care.

Nicola draws on a mix of therapeutic ways of working so sessions can be tailored to each person. She values a person-centred stance, which means the client’s experience comes first and they set the pace.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when it helps to identify and test unhelpful thought patterns. Attachment-based thinking also informs how Nicola understands relationship and connection difficulties. Her background includes work across the NHS, a bereavement charity and independent practice.

That variety has shaped a practical style that aims to be warm and straightforward. Nicola speaks plain language and focuses on small, manageable steps rather than complex jargon. Sessions can cover grief, chronic health challenges, carer stress, body image, codependency, commitment and separation concerns, and other overlapping issues.

She pays attention to how life events and past relationships affect current wellbeing. Nicola encourages people to notice their strengths while they work through difficult feelings. She sees therapy as a collaborative process and helps clients try new ways of coping and relating.

The first step is a conversation to see what feels most helpful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Nicola commonly blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening carefully and helping the client steer the pace and goals of therapy, which suits people who need a gentle, empathetic space. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-based thinking pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and communication.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Nicola will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods as needs and goals become clearer. That collaborative style helps shape a plan that fits the individual's situation and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging allows short, ongoing contact between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
