About me

If anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulties in relationships are affecting your wellbeing, you don’t have to face this alone. You may feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or unhealthy relationship patterns, and unsure how to move forward.

I provide a safe, empathic, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and feel heard. I will take the time to understand your experiences and see the world from your perspective. Working together, we can explore what is holding you back, gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and support you in building confidence, emotional resilience, and healthier relationships. We will work at a pace that feels right for you.

I specialise in working with anxiety, self-esteem, and healthy relationships. I have training and experience in supporting clients to improve self-worth, confidence, communication, and assertiveness, helping you feel more secure and empowered in both your personal and professional life.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting. If you’re considering therapy, I want you to know that help is available and you don’t have to continue feeling the way you do. Change is possible, and I believe you already have the strength within you to create meaningful change.

I specialise in supporting adults with:

Anxiety – including ongoing worry, overthinking, panic, feeling on edge, and anxiety that affects daily life or relationships

Low self-esteem and confidence – self-doubt, negative self-talk, people-pleasing, and feeling “not good enough”

Relationships – difficulties in personal or romantic relationships, unhealthy patterns, communication issues, boundaries, and developing healthier, more balanced relationships

Assertiveness and communication – finding your voice, expressing your needs, and building confidence in relationships

Emotional wellbeing – supporting you to better understand your emotions and develop healthier coping strategies

Nicole is a very calm, sympathetic and approachable therapist. Even though we haven't met in person, she made me feel very comfortable very quickly and I was able to share with her, events that I had kept to myself for years. The relief was immediate. We continue to work together.
