About Nicola
Nicola Willmott is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood, and those struggling with self-esteem, motivation and relationship concerns. Nicola also supports people exploring ADHD and autism in adulthood, and people coping with loss and grief.
Nicola draws on a flexible, integrative approach. She places the person at the centre of the work and listens first to understand each story.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build practical ways to manage symptoms while recognising personal strengths and values. Her background includes roles in the NHS, a bereavement charity and independent practice. That mix of settings means she is used to short-term and longer-term conversations.
Nicola describes herself as neurodivergent-affirming and has a particular interest in adult ADHD and autism. In practice she uses client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed thinking. She adapts techniques to what each person needs rather than following one fixed method.
The emphasis is on small, manageable steps and clearer thinking. People can expect a calm, straightforward space to talk things through. Nicola aims to help people discover what matters to them and to develop tools for handling difficult moments.
She offers practical support and steady listening as people work towards clearer goals.
How Nicola’s approaches work online
Nicola blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed thinking to help people online. Client-centred work means she follows each person’s pace and priorities, offering space to talk and to be heard. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and experimenting with small changes to behaviour to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Attachment-informed ideas look at how past relationships shape present patterns and help people try new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nicola will explore your goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest methods that match your needs. She will check in regularly and adjust the focus as you make progress, so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when a shorter check-in suits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people use words at their own pace and fit therapy around work or family commitments. These options give flexibility for different rhythms and routines while aiming to keep the work consistent and goal-focused.
