Therapeutic approaches and online support
Nicola (Nicki) Cartmill draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses and helps people build more secure connections and trust in relationships. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach that helps partners and individuals identify and reorganise emotional responses to improve bonding and reduce reactive cycles. In addition, her Client-Centered Therapy work emphasises empathy, active listening and collaboration so clients can explore their own values and find personally meaningful solutions.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Registered professionals and therapists work with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences, and Nicki adapts methods over time so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Nicki is offered through a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
