About Nicola
Nicola (Nicki) Cartmill is a counsellor with five years' experience who combines theoretical training with a warm, down-to-earth manner. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Nicki writes plainly and listens closely to help people make sense of what they are feeling.
She sees many common struggles such as anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people coping with stress, relationship problems, grief and life changes. Her work covers issues connected to addiction, ADHD, anger and questions about life purpose.
Nicki uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work and client-centred listening. Sessions aim to make feelings easier to name and manage. She helps people spot patterns in relationships and build small, practical coping steps for day-to-day life.
Her practice pays particular attention to grief, bereavement and trauma. In those areas she brings steady pacing and careful attention to how past losses affect present choices. She also offers focused help for communication and relationship difficulties, using methods that prioritise clear dialogue and emotional connection.
People who choose Nicki often want straightforward, compassionate help rather than technical jargon. She works with each person to set realistic goals and find ways to cope in the moment, while exploring longer term changes they want to make.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Nicki draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional reactions. This approach can help people understand anxiety and relationship difficulties by tracing recurring interaction styles.She also uses client-centred work, which focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what the client says. That method helps people feel heard and clarify their own priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to identify and work with strong emotions in relationships and personal distress, often helping with communication and closeness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Nicki will work collaboratively to find which methods match a person's needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut commuting time and allow steady, regular contact from different locations. It also makes shorter check-ins or phone-style conversations possible if that suits someone's routine better.
