About Nicola
Nicola Willmott is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She has worked in the NHS, a bereavement charity and private practice. Nicola helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and motivation, and she has a focus on adult ADHD and autism.
Nicola uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the person’s perspective central. She draws on a range of approaches to respond to what someone brings, including cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-informed thinking and existential questions. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational, with space to reflect on patterns and try out different ways of coping.
People contact Nicola about relationship worries and the knock-on effects of life changes. She also supports those dealing with loss and grief, chronic health challenges, and the specific strain that can come with blended family issues. Her work pays attention to how attachment and past relationships affect current stress and choices.
Nicola describes herself as neurodivergent-affirming and welcomes conversations about adult ADHD and Autism spectrum concerns. She explains things plainly and helps people make sense of strengths and difficulties without medical labels being the focus.
Her sessions combine listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness work. Nicola aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes and build sustainable coping strategies over time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Nicola draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people explore trust, closeness and the ways they react under stress. It can be useful for relationship worries and for understanding loyalty conflicts in blended households.She also uses Client-Centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. That approach aims to help someone feel heard and to notice their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used for practical problem solving, such as managing anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thought patterns with small experiments and coping strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Nicola will collaborate with the person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting the way sessions proceed over time.
Check the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Talk through practical arrangements with Nicola when you schedule the first session so timing and the way you work together suit everyday life.
