Some words from the people I’ve helped…
"Nicole supported me through the darkest period of my life, after losing a child suddenly and tragically I did not think I would ever be able to feel the warmth of life again. Nicole's positive, nurturing and encouraging approach is like a tonic for the soul.
I have been able to make some huge positive changes in my life and in my thinking, I would not be where I am today today without her unwavering support and dedication.
I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone who has gone through trauma and needs the most delicate support. "

“Nicole has a warm, gentle and welcoming demeanour. I feel at ease talking with her.
I’ve found Nicole’s counselling support helpful in placing me on the right road to aid recovery from long term narcissistic abuse. The recovery is known to be a long process and so it helps me to know I can turn to Nicole in times of utter despair.”

“I found Nicole to be very kind in her communication with me. She proved to be very patient, understanding and compassionate, and I felt she helped me tackle my scenario from various directions, helping me prepare for any eventuality and discuss all the possible outcomes. Nicole was very supportive. She has a strong work ethic and is very professional, and she has a kind and gentle nature. I wouldn't hesitate in attending any further sessions if needed or recommending her for some hugging words :) “

“I went to see Nicole for some counselling after my traumatic marriage break up and her calming influence and kindness helped me get through a difficult time - a phrase she said to me, which I always remember and quote to friends or family that are going through a difficult time, is that my feelings at the time were like a rollercoaster ride with lots of ups and downs and that is exactly how things were for me.”

"Nicole really helped me and my partner when we were having some relationship difficulties. We were on the verge of splitting up when we went to Nicole and we left our first session with her united and able to see each others point of view. She has made our relationship even stronger and we now both know how to communicate in a healthy way with each other. Thank you for saving our relationship."

“I don’t know where I would be without Nicole’s support and guidance. She is one of the only people that has ever really listened to me and I just feel like she gets me. I know whatever I say to her is ok. Sometimes I’ve tried to shock her but she just listens and accepts me just as I am.”
19-year-old Care Leaver
“Thank you for helping me find my family. I felt I had no one in my life since leaving care and you helped me think back to all the important people in my life and we made contact with them together. I couldn’t have done it without you and now I have a big group of people around me so that I don’t feel so alone.”

“Me and my brothers can’t thank you enough for all you did to help us when our mum left us. You listened to all of us and because of you we were all kept together.”
Foster child
“Nicole has a warm, welcoming and caring personality, a calm persona. I have observed her approach with vulnerable people and will strive to go above and beyond to help them achieve the best outcomes and goals, but most importantly to be listened to.”
Ex-Colleague in Children’s Services
“Nicole is so gentle and kind and always greets us with a warm friendly smile. My daughter is autistic with selective mutism and high anxiety and after only a few sessions is already talking to Nicole, which is amazing. To pick my daughter up after seeing Nicole and hear her talking and laughing all the way home is just beautiful. We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
