About Nicola
Nicola (Nicki) Cartmill is a counsellor who blends professional training with a warm, down-to-earth manner. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Clients meet a calm, practical approach that focuses on understanding what is happening now and finding manageable steps forward.
Nicki listens with attention to how relationships and life events affect mood and behaviour. She often helps people who are feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed by change, or struggling with grief.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make confusing feelings clearer and to build coping strategies that work day to day. Her work pays particular attention to patterns formed in close relationships. That perspective is useful for attachment concerns, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues.
She also brings experience supporting people with trauma, bereavement, and addiction-related worries. Nicki uses a client-centred stance alongside emotionally focused and attachment-based ideas. This means the client’s priorities guide each session while the counsellor helps name emotions and explore relationship patterns.
Practical steps and simple tools are offered when they fit the person’s goals. She has five years of professional experience and practises from the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and can be arranged online by following the platform’s matching and scheduling process.
The emphasis is on steady, understandable progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities at the heart of each session. The counsellor offers empathic listening and helps you clarify goals so practical, manageable steps can be agreed together.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on identifying core emotions and how they shape interactions in close relationships. It can be useful for resolving conflict, deepening intimacy and reducing emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The counsellor will discuss which ideas might suit your needs and try them out together. Adjustment is expected as work progresses, with the aim of matching methods to what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
