About Nicola
Nicola (Nicki) Cartmill is a BACP counsellor who brings five years of clinical practice to her work. She blends warmth and practical support to help people who feel stuck or unsure which way to turn. Nicki aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so worries can be talked through in plain language.
She focuses on emotional difficulties such as anxiety, depression and panic, and on self-esteem and anger. Nicki also helps people facing grief, trauma and big life changes.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how attachment and relationship patterns affect day-to-day wellbeing. In sessions she uses approaches that centre the person and their experience. That means listening closely, reflecting feelings, and helping people recognise how past hurts shape current choices.
The work often involves uncovering emotional responses and practising ways to cope in the moment. Nicki also supports people with addiction issues, ADHD concerns, parenting stress and career worries. She brings particular interest in abandonment, codependency and communication problems that affect relationships.
Her background includes helping people at end of life and those who are processing loss. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Nicki’s aim is to make the work manageable - one step at a time - and to help individuals find clearer direction and more steady ways of handling difficult feelings.

Online support
Emotion-focused and attachment-based work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. It is useful when strong feelings drive repeated reactions in relationships or daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current trust and closeness, and supports people who want to understand why they respond to others in certain ways.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean emphasising emotion work in one case or focusing on attachment patterns in another, adapting the focus as the relationship develops.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are suited to in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit around busy days or provide shorter, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
