About Nicola
Nicola (Nicki) Cartmill is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Nicki also supports those coping with grief, trauma, life changes and challenges around intimacy and communication.
Nicki helps people name and sort feelings that feel overwhelming. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now. She offers practical coping ideas alongside chances to reflect on patterns that keep returning.
Her background is integrative, drawing on several approaches so sessions can shift to match what a person needs. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is one of the approaches she uses when emotions and attachment patterns are central to the work. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods also inform how she works.
People come for help with specific problems such as panic, low self-esteem, addiction or family conflict. Others seek support with broader questions like life purpose, career change or recurrent feelings of emptiness. Nicki also has experience supporting those dealing with bereavement and end-of-life matters.
In a typical session she will listen, reflect back what she hears, and help identify small changes to try between meetings. The pace is set by the person attending, with space for practical coping and for looking at deeper relationship patterns when appropriate.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Nicola commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. EFT can be useful when attachment concerns and difficult-to-name feelings are driving relational or personal distress.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at early and current relationship patterns that shape how a person connects with others. Client-Centred Therapy provides a straightforward way of listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client, helping them find their own answers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences and adjust the way she works as those needs change. That collaboration helps shape the focus of sessions and any practical exercises offered.
The original biography did not specify which session formats are offered online, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be arranged around work breaks and video calls can save commuting time. Phone or lower-bandwidth options may suit shorter updates or when a quieter setting is needed.
