Nicola Willmott, BACP

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns that began early in life. Online sessions look at how these patterns show up now and help people try different ways of relating and feeling safer in connections. Client-centred therapy is built around empathic listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. In remote sessions this means being heard, understood and helped to find your own answers rather than being told what to do. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicola will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and circumstances. That might mean mixing client-centred listening with cognitive techniques, or focusing more on emotional and relational material depending on what feels most useful. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or want shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to arrange regular contact, manage symptoms between sessions and keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
