About Nicola
Nicola Willmott is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience and offers a calm, straightforward way of talking about difficult issues. Nicola aims to make it easier to take the first step towards change and supports people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Nicola has worked in the NHS, for a bereavement charity and in independent practice. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, motivation, self-esteem and confidence.
Background and approach
She also describes herself as neurodivergent affirming and has a special interest in adult ADHD and autism spectrum experiences. Her practice is integrative, which means she draws on different ways of working to meet each person's needs. She names Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, transactional analysis and psychodynamic ideas among the approaches she uses to help make sense of patterns and feelings.
Sessions focus on the person's story and strengths rather than on labels. Nicola aims to help people notice small changes that add up to clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. She encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversation.
Clients begin by sharing what feels most urgent and what they hope to change. Nicola describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person remains the expert on their life. She supports people as they work towards more meaning, calmer routines and improved confidence.
