Hello, I’m Nicola.

I am a BACP registered counsellor, trauma therapist, chartered physiotherapist and breathwork specialist. Please see below to find out more about my experience and qualifications, which provide me with a unique skillset with which to support you.

I know how scary panic attacks are, because I’ve been there myself. Through this experience I learnt what causes panic attacks and how to stop them. I’ll always remember the relief that I felt when the panic dissolved and calm returned. I want you to find relief too!

I love my job, which is to support people as they learn how to manage and reduce panic attacks. I’m privileged to witness my clients transformations as they re-engage with the activities that they want / need to do and find more calm and wellbeing.

If my approach resonates with you and you’d like to find out more, please get in touch using the contact button below.

“I've been able to let go of the anxieties and difficulties I experienced, armed with a framework for the future - all thanks to Nicola. Highly recommended”.
