Hello, I’m Nicola.

I’m a counsellor, hypnotherapist, wife, mother of three and someone who has always been fascinated by people.

Why we think the way we do. Why we feel what we feel. Why we sometimes find ourselves repeating the same patterns, even when we know we want something different.

I believe there’s so much to discover when we become curious about ourselves rather than critical of ourselves.

My work brings together counselling, hypnosis and body-based practices, creating a space where you can feel heard, understood and supported as you navigate life’s challenges.

You don’t need to have the answers or even know where to begin. We start with you.

My Story

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 26 years working in aviation and customer service, including leadership roles and supporting colleagues through the demands of frontline work.

Over those years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting people from all walks of life. I’ve seen how much people carry, often while continuing to show up, smile and care for everyone around them.

And I’ve come to appreciate just how important it is for people to feel seen, heard and understood.

My own life has also been full of learning. Being a wife, raising three children, navigating change and discovering more about myself along the way.

I certainly haven’t figured out everything about being human, and I don’t believe that’s the point.

But I’ve learnt that understanding ourselves can change the way we experience our lives.

Today, that passion extends beyond the counselling room into schools and workplaces, where I support the wellbeing of educators, frontline teams and the people who spend so much of their lives supporting others.

Whether we’re working together individually or in a group, my intention is the same.

To help you understand yourself a little better, recognise what’s possible and find your own way forward.

I would be honoured to walk beside you.
