My Journey: Wellbeing, Resilience & Posttraumatic Growth

Guided by a passion for wellbeing, I believe that our strongest growth often begins when we pause, reconnect, and draw inspiration from the world around us. Being coached by my own coach deeply shaped my journey, their wisdom and compassion set me on the path to becoming a coaching psychologist and coaching supervisor, showing me the profound impact a coach can have on a person’s life and direction.

I lead with social impact, helping mothers in my local community to have a safe space to connect and explore thinking together. Creating supportive environments for coaching, personal reflection and collective growth is at the heart of my mission.

My work centres around posttraumatic growth and resilience, empowering individuals and communities to transform adversity into strength and purpose. Drawing on the latest research and my own practice, I help people move beyond setbacks, rebuild their wellbeing, and flourish, regardless of the challenges they face.

I aim to empower people to develop their emotional intelligence, strengths, and wellbeing, while supporting them as they, in turn, create positive change for others. By fostering self-awareness, compassion, and courage, I help clients lead with impact in every area of life, creating ripples of growth within their families, workplaces, and wider communities.

If you are seeking a coaching psychologist, who brings together the restorative power of wellbeing, trauma-informed education, and a commitment to sustainable personal and professional growth, I invite you to take the next step in your development with me.

Together, we can co-create a safe space, embrace your journey, unlock new strengths, and help you and those you influence thrive.

What my clients say:

“Nicole and I had coaching sessions focusing on advocating for myself, social interactions and boundaries among other things. Nicole made me feel really comfortable and safe to share my experiences as a neurodivergent woman of colour, she is a great listener and I had the space to reflect and come up with solutions. Nicole was also very professional and reliable….” (Charity/Third Sector, Manager and Neurodiversity Advocate)

“Nicole’s style of coaching encouraged me to reflect on my values/character/skills/preferences in preparation for an exam. She has a welcoming manner which created a safe environment to explore these concepts, whilst also challenging me at the right times… Nicole’s approach of enabling me to discover answers for myself was extremely edifying.” (Healthcare, Doctor)

“I highly recommend Nicole to anyone seeking to evolve their coaching practice. I was privileged to have Nicole as my skilled and empathetic coaching supervisor. Nicole’s ability to create a calm, non-judgmental and safe space allowed me to open up and explore areas I hadn’t realised were affecting my coaching practice. Her remarkable skill in getting beneath the surface truly sets Nicole apart. With her guidance, I could dig deep and uncover underlying thoughts and patterns affecting my practice. Her thoughtful questions and gentle encouragement gave me powerful insights into my coaching practice and helped me identify concrete actions.” (Business Sector, Founder/Executive/Leadership Coach)

“Nicole was very empathetic, she listened very carefully and deeply and showed full understanding of my situation and problem. She helped me to gain new perspectives on my problem and identify approaches for addressing them.” (Business Sector, Leader)

I started working with Nicole earlier this year after my long term supervisor retired. I was quite set on what I wanted from supervision and my expectations of my Supervisor. Nicole is very different from my previous Supervisor and what I thought I ‘wanted’ yet from day 1 she put me at ease.
She creates a calm, warm and challenging reflection and learning space. Each session feels like a an enriching journey of discovery and I always come away feeling like I’ve sharpened some of my personal and professional tools. Thank you Nicole for your wonderful work and I look forward to our partnership continuing! (Professional Services, Executive/Leadership Coach)

For the last six months, I’ve had the privilege of working with an incredible coaching supervisor who has truly transformed the way I see myself as a coach. Her approach creates a space where I feel calm, centered, and connected to what’s happening within me. She helps me stay focused through thoughtful contracting and is a masterful listener, reflecting the deeper themes I sometimes don’t even realise are there.

One of the most powerful gifts she’s given me is helping me see my own strength and the difference I make for my clients. Through our work together, I’ve come to reconnect with my creativity, something I bring to my coaching and in turn, I’ve inspired her to be creative too. Our conversations often follow a thread around wellbeing, and today’s session was no exception. The metaphor we explored was the “gardeners” in my life my husband and children who nurture and support me, helping me grow and thrive.

Supervision has shown me so many new perspectives. It’s made me appreciate that I am, and always will be, a work in progress. I’m deeply grateful for the life I live and the wonderful people, family, friends, and clients who are a part of it.

A recent theme that emerged today was around my voice. A client recently shared that they found my voice soothing, calming, and reassuring, something I had never considered before. My son, when I shared this, affirmed that my voice indeed has that quality. This realisation has been eye-opening. There was a time when I felt unsure, when I let the “frogs in my throat” take over and dim my confidence. But now, I see my voice as a powerful tool that I can lean into.

Thank you to my supervisor for helping me see myself more clearly and for nurturing this journey of growth. (Executive/Leadership Coach)

I’ve had the privilege of being coached by Nicole for over three years now, and her coaching has been truly transformative. She has helped me navigate a high-performance career and challenging times with empathy, insight, and wisdom, building my self-awareness, resilience, and clarity.

 

Her guidance has shaped not only my professional growth but also made me a better husband, father, and leader. Every session is a source of inspiration, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Nicole to anyone looking to excel in all areas of life. She is an exceptional coach and a true well of knowledge. Thank you, Nicole! (Business Sector, Senior Leader)
