My approach

Working together

As your coach, I’ll help you clarify your goals—even if they feel uncertain at first.

Together, we’ll explore what needs to happen to move you forward and work through any mental blocks that might be holding you back.

My approach is to gently challenge and stretch you, sometimes beyond your comfort zone, but always within a supportive, respectful, and non-judgemental space.

I love to help people overcome challenges, gain fresh perspective, and unlock their true potential.

Testimonials

"I had a fantastic experience with Nicole as my coach. She was extremely supportive, listened to my problem(s) and helped to guide me through these by helping me think of alternative ways of thinking/doing and approaching situations. I really liked learning some of the psychology around behaviours with Nicole, as this helped me to understand "why" things were happening so I could get more clarity and move forwards in the situation. I would most definitely recommend Nicole as a coach.

I found this a really positive experience - my meetings with Nicole enabled me to look at my difficulties with a different perspective, and this, plus using some great strategies we discussed, has meant that I am in a much better place psychologically and emotionally. The gaps between sessions worked well to enable me to put strategies into practice. Using the Space diagram was a great visual prompt, helping give clearer perspective. Thank you so much.

I have really enjoyed and valued the coaching process I have undertaken with Nicole's support. I felt thoroughly supported throughout; I learnt a lot about myself and really welcomed her input and challenge on some of my thought processes and have come out feeling so much better equipped to deal with some of the challenges I identified. I would recommend her support to anyone considering embarking on coaching. Thank you so much!

Nicole provided me with safe space to talk about work related issues that were solution focused and this has helped me to adapt to various challenges since. I feel the way Nicole worked really worked for me, she was understanding and professional, and challenged me when needed. I feel this has been an amazing experience and have recommended anyone at work who maybe struggling to reach out and seek this support. Nicole is an asset and has made a big difference to my life, thank you.
