About me

*Accepting New Clients*

On the outside, you might look like you're holding it all together. Inside, it can feel very different.

You're getting through the days. Keeping things together. Doing what needs doing. But underneath, there's anxiety you can't shake, exhaustion that doesn't lift, or a quiet sense that you've lost touch with who you actually are.

I'm Nicola. NCPS registered psychotherapist with an MSc in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy. 

I don't just help you talk about how you feel. I help you understand why you think and behave the way you do, where it started, and how to shift it.

The work is solution-focused. You leave with a genuine understanding of your own thinking and behaviour and practical tools to build the resilience and mental fitness that holds under pressure.

Issues I work with:

  • Anxiety and stress that doesn't go away even when life looks fine from the outside
  • Burnout and exhaustion that rest alone doesn't fix
  • Overthinking and an inner critic that follows you everywhere
  • Imposter syndrome and self-doubt beneath a successful exterior
  • Low mood and a sense of disconnection from yourself
  • ADHD
  • Perfectionism and procrastination
  • Difficulty switching off or being present outside of work
  • People-pleasing and difficulty with boundaries
  • Loss of identity or purpose, particularly after a promotion or life change
  • Trauma and difficult past experiences that still feel present
  • Relationship difficulties and communication
  • Grief and loss
  • OCD and intrusive thoughts
  • Big life transitions- career, relationships, identity

What my clients have experienced

"I was running at full speed and had nothing left. What I got was something I didn't know I needed. Six months in, I work fewer hours, make better decisions, and I am actually present at home for the first time in years." Sarah, Senior Director, Tech

"I'd been promoted quickly and privately struggling ever since. My team had stopped coming to me and I didn't know why. Nicola helped me trace it back to what was actually going on underneath. Once I understood it, the defensiveness dropped and the relationships changed." Mark, COO, Engineering Recruitment

"Nicola didn't just give me techniques. She helped me understand the belief underneath it all. Once that shifted, I started having the conversations I'd been putting off for months." Leah, Managing Director, Marketing Agency
