Welcome, I'm Nicola
and I'm so glad to meet you...
I'm a Hypnotherapist, Grief counsellor, Coach and NLP practitioner specialising in helping people work through grief and loss.
Some years ago I experienced major grief after the loss of a close family member. During that time and in the aftermath I realised how valuable it was to me having a compassionate guide accompanying me.
Subsequently I have become passionate about working in this field assisting others to navigate their own grief and the emotions that arise around that process.
To facilitate this aim I have trained extensively in various disciplines which support my work.
I am a skilled Hypnotherapist and supplement this with Grief Counselling, NLP and Havening; alongside other techniques to facilitate mental and emotional well-being.
MY MISSION STATEMENT
My goal is to be a caring presence helping you to find your inner strength.
My role is to listen with empathy, validate your feelings, and gently guide you towards understanding and acceptance so that together we can uncover hope.
I'm committed to making our sessions an empowering, compassionate space for growth to gently guide you to a happier, healthier life in a way that feels comfortable for you.
My Integrative Approach
Through my own experiences and also my training I have come to realise that there is no such thing as a standard approach. I treat each person as an individual, customizing my support according to what is needed to navigate their situation.
As an integrative counsellor I will blend hypnotherapy, counselling, coaching, and NLP techniques tailored to your unique needs. Thus enabling us to explore your individual challenges from different angles to help you move forward.
Hypnotherapy
helps tap into your subconscious to effect positive change.
Counselling
provides emotional support as you go through this process.
Coaching
helps to engender motivation and a different mind-set.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
instils healthy patterns of thinking.
Together, we'll devise a unique approach in order to uncover your inner strength, resilience, and self-knowledge.
My goal is to help you gain clarity and stability.
Coping through Change with Guidance.
I provide a kind, safe, understanding space where we can explore your emotions and feelings without worry of criticism.
In our sessions we will focus on the emotions you're experiencing around your grief. Whether you're feeling sadness, anger, guilt, emptiness, hurt, loneliness, or other emotions my role is to listen and validate what you are experiencing. Together we will gain insight into your feelings and develop healthy strategies to process them.
With compassionate guidance tailored to your needs, we can start moving positively into the future. I'm here to listen and help you uncover your inner strength during this transitional time.
I look forward to accompanying you towards greater understanding and acceptance.
Providing a Welcoming Safe Space
I understand beginning this type of work can feel overwhelming. My goal is to provide a welcoming space where you can feel at ease and safe.
You can choose between in-person or online counselling; whichever environment suits you most. I offer therapy via Skype, Zoom, Teams or phone if you can't attend in-person.
With my expertise in hypnotherapy, grief counselling, and NLP I am well-prepared to guide you through the grieving process. I will approach our sessions with the utmost care, respect and empathy ensuring you feel in control of the process at all times.
This will be a collaborative journey.

This is your opportunity to ask me any questions you might have. We will discuss what is going on for you and I will explain my approach.
