About Nicola
Nicola (Nicki) Cartmill is a counsellor who draws on five years of client work and a BACP membership. She combines practical theory with a warm, straightforward manner. Nicki aims to make sessions feel calm and focused so people can talk through what matters most to them.
She supports people facing anxiety, depression, panic, low self-esteem and social worries. She also works with stress, bipolar concerns, addictions and problems with focus linked to ADHD.
Background and approach
Many people come to discuss relationship pain, communication struggles, intimacy concerns and difficulties with commitment. Nicki pays particular attention to grief, bereavement and trauma. She helps people untangle the emotions that follow loss and find ways to cope day to day.
She also offers support around career choices, life purpose and big life adjustments. Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused work to look at feelings and patterns in relationships.
She also draws on client-centred and existential perspectives when people want to understand their values and choices. Sessions are offered in English and Nicki can work with international clients. She aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where people can try out new ways of relating and communicating.
If someone wants clear, calm guidance to untangle their feelings, she may be a good fit.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss goals, concerns and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. Over a few sessions she will check in and adjust the approach to suit how things are progressing, so therapy stays relevant to individual needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and body language, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer written reflection or need shorter check-ins. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments, and let people choose the format that best supports their progress.
