About Nicola Willoughby
Nicola holds a higher diploma in CBT, a practical, skills-based approach to changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and a foundation certificate in working with children and teenagers. She has undertaken further training in bereavement and loss, domestic abuse, anxiety, anger, and emotional regulation, which informs her work across a broad range of concerns.
Her caseload has included many children with ADHD or ASD diagnoses, as well as adults newly diagnosed, and she supports them in recognising their strengths and what she refers to as their 'super powers'. Nicola believes individuals often carry the answers to their own difficulties, even when those answers are hard to see, and she aims to help people uncover those answers, build on their strengths, and make changes that support progress.
Nichola's core specialisms include trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career matters, and coping with life changes, with additional focus areas such as attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, eating and food-related issues, fertility concerns, guilt and shame, hoarding, narcissism, panic and phobias, pregnancy and childbirth, self-love, social anxiety, and women's issues.
