Nicola Willmott, BACP

Nicola Willmott welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety or questions about relationships and self-esteem. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. Nicola aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

She has worked in the NHS, for a bereavement charity and in independent practice. That range of settings means she has supported people through loss and grief, chronic health concerns and caregiver strain. Nicola also has a particular interest in adult ADHD and autism and describes her practice as neurodivergent affirming.

Nikola uses an integrative style and draws on different ways of working to meet each person’s needs. She commonly uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed thinking. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as making sense of patterns that cause distress.

Her approach starts from the view that each person knows their story best. Nicola helps identify strengths and small changes that can make daily life easier. She offers steady support through difficult decisions, relationship worries and periods of low motivation.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Payment is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Nicola's approaches work in online therapy

Nicola often draws on client-centred counselling, which means she listens carefully and follows each person's pace and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and can be useful for building confidence and clearer decision making.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT techniques can help with stress, motivation and managing difficult routines.

Finding the right match between approach and need is part of the work. Nicola will discuss different options with each person and agree a way of working together based on their goals and preferences. The result is a collaborative plan that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session options before booking as formats are not detailed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. A therapist can suggest which ways of meeting will best suit your practical circumstances and therapeutic aims.
