About
Nicola Willoughby is a BACP-registered counsellor practicing in the United Kingdom. Training as an integrative counsellor allows her to adapt methods to fit each person rather than applying a single model to everyone. She has been working in counselling since 2020 and brings a pragmatic, person-focused perspective to challenges such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
Her formal training includes a higher diploma in CBT and a foundation certificate in working with children and teens, along with additional learning in bereavement and loss, domestic abuse, anxiety, anger, and emotional regulation. Over the years she has supported many children with ADHD or ASD diagnoses and adults who have received new diagnoses, helping them recognise personal strengths and distinct qualities.
Nicola works collaboratively with people to uncover their own answers and practical strengths. She aims to support clients in finding manageable steps toward change, whether addressing attachment and communication concerns, relationship endings, eating and fertility related issues, or workplace and social anxieties.

Remote sessions and therapeutic style
Nicola offers online appointments using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She provides remote support from the United Kingdom and uses these channels to create an accessible way to explore concerns such as grief, trauma, parenting stress, career transitions, and anxiety.Her integrative training means she adapts the form of therapy to match what each person needs. That may include a person-centered emphasis on listening and exploration, blended with structured elements from cognitive behavioural therapy. CBT training supports the use of practical exercises and skill building to address patterns of thinking and behaviour.
People who prefer a collaborative process that mixes reflective dialogue with practical techniques may find this approach a good fit. Nicola aims to work with clients to identify their strengths, try manageable strategies, and adjust the focus of sessions as progress and priorities evolve.
