My Clients Say…

Trauma & Anxiety

“After a single session with Nicola I felt freed of a longstanding trauma which had recently surfaced, leading to unhealthy pattern matching and resulting in performance anxiety when learning to drive. Through deep relaxation and guided meditation I experienced a profound change of attitude, and approached my next driving lesson calm and confident, the baggage of my past appropriately right-sized. Thank you.”

Depression

“I feel a lot of hope after our session, for me, hope has been a rare feeling. Thank you for all your help. It has been a long 3 years and I’m finally feeling like I might get stronger and feel good about my life.”

Trauma

‘I can’t believe it but I was able to face my major fear today. I had flashbacks but I was able to hold them in my mind at a distance and I didn’t have any hallucinations ,which usually stop me entirely…it feels amazing. Not sure I’ve ever cried so much with relief.”

Intrusive Thinking & Overwhelm

‘Nicola is as warm and friendly as a big hug from a friend in a time of need. Her introduction to Human Givens was simple and easy to understand - she explained in a way that wasn’t overwhelming or expectant. She is an incredibly knowledgable and approachable therapist. I was initially a bit worried about what therapy would entail. From a previous experience I was sceptical about how well I would get on , and if they actually knew what they were doing - there are some people who charge a lot and seem not to command the room or help make you feel comfortable. My initial session helped me to identify the thoughts in my head and separate them from me, which was a massive step forward after just one session…’

Exam Preparation

‘Nicola is an incredibly warm and positive person who genuinely wants to improve people’s lives. She greatly helped my 10 year old with exam related anxiety. Her gentle, low key approach, which uses lovely child friendly explanations, means that children are not only open to her suggestions but lap them up and happily try them out. Thank you’

Low Mood and Anxiety

Thank you for listening and ‘hearing’ me. I appreciate the post-session information which was a great reminder of what I needed to do for myself. I listened to my affirmations and podcast on my way to work, which was amazing. Sometimes we need little reminders, so thank you as you’ve done that. It made me feel incredibly good to spend time on something positive.

Mental Health Workshop

“Nicola delivered one of the Childhood Mental Health Needs pop-up workshops on ‘Building Resilience in Children.’ Nicola is very knowledgable and engaging as a speaker. She gave our audience solid, practical tools and advice, as well as furthering our understanding about this much talked about subject. She is professional and very personable. We received very positive feedback from our attendees and would highly recommend her. Thank you!”

Life Coaching

“Whilst many people may have different perceptions of what a therapist might be like, (my initial thoughts being quite clinical) Nicola was nothing like this; she is warm, personable and so easy to talk to. She made me feel comfortable right from our very first consultation and through her sessions I have been able to apply a different way of thinking in relation to various situations/ challenges in my life. Overall her sessions have given me the tools and courage to move forward positively and for that I am very grateful.’

Low Self-Esteem

‘ I found my sessions to be very helpful. Nicola is non-judgemental, boosted my confidence and helped me with the tools I need to move forward in life. Thank you’

Bereavement

‘Nicola was so easy to talk to. I felt like I’d known her for years right from the first session. She’s incredibly warm, compassionate and uplifting and also sensitive with how she broaches difficult topics. It’s helped me face my grief head on instead of hoping it will go away. I don’t feel as scared to think about it now’

Anxiety & Mental Wellness Workshop (Junior School Years 2-6)

‘Nicola delivered a fantastic workshop this week; teaching students how to regulate ther breathing using the ‘7-11’ method. The workshops involved breath work, visualisations and exploration of the 9 emotional needs framework. Thanks so much, Nicola, the children thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and took away plenty of new skills’

Life Coaching - Performance Anxiety

‘Thank you for being part of my journey, for helping me during this transition from work life to the next chapter. All that you have said and done has lifted my spirits and kept me positive’

Work Stress & Anxiety

Nicola was incredibly kind and so easy to build a relationship with. From the very first session, she made me feel so safe and accepted, which made it so easy to open up to her about what I had been finding difficult. She has always been so supportive and helpful in reminding me of my goals and I really appreciated her emails detailing what we had covered in the session as well as collating a list of positive affirmations for me to read back on. She has demonstrated such kindness and empathy, and has always seemed genuinely happy for me when I've met my goals. I really enjoyed working with Nicola.
