What clients say……


 “I cannot thank-you enough, it has really changed my life and the way I deal with things".   

 "After the first session I was already more aware of my self worth. The speed of healing was phenomenal. I think you’d have to go through years of conventional counselling to get where Nicola got me in one session. The biggest memory is walking away with no despondency, not feeling like I had a long way to go. I described the sessions at the time as ‘Emotional Rescue’. Ultimately Nicola allowed me to function, to get on with my life and care for my son". 


“It has made a tremendous difference to me, to be able to talk to and have therapy with Nicola. She has the combination of deep awareness, spiritual depth and a wide range of “tools” which makes her a very professional and loving  therapist. If you want real change in your life I can recommend Nicola as your guide!” 

“I'd suffered from previous miscarriages and hadn't come to terms with the trauma and grief I'd experienced. I was going through IVF and the thought of getting pregnant was terrifying. If I did get pregnant, I was filled with dread, fear and panic at having to get through each day of pregnancy and the thought of having another miscarriage. Through EFT, I no longer have any of my previous concerns and feel positive and excited at the thought of getting pregnant..EFT is an extremely powerful tool to help deal with trauma and grief and I am so grateful and thankful for finding Nicola and having this treatment”.

“Nicola is wise beyond her years and although her approach is gentle and supportive, it is incredibly powerful. Nicola I'm so glad I found you. Thank you. xx”  

  

“When my father committed suicide I was in pieces, especially as I had been intimately involved in caring for him for the previous year or more. All the events leading up to his suicide kept replaying in my mind. Along with the shock and grief, I had huge feelings of guilt, and was convinced that if I’d only made different choices he would still be alive. Nicola was amazing as she gently and lovingly led me the through the process of EFT. At times I was so distraught she even had to tap for me. The results were amazing, and I am convinced that she helped move me through all those deep and difficult feelings to a place where I could grieve yet still function in my life. I highly recommend her as a therapist.”

"I approached Nicola in a very difficult and dark time in my life. Submerged in grief from multiple miscarriages, fearing interactions with others, retreating to myself in avoidance of facing problems, insecure and carrying heavy baggage from childhood, I reached out for help, and what happened since, transformed my life. 

I didn't know what to expect when I asked Nicola for sessions, yet the work she did over the past 2 months, has been revolutionary. Not only have I been able to heal from the grief after losing three babies, but I felt safe and comfortable enough to unload nearly 40 years of baggage I've been carrying with me. Session by session, we opened one "suitcase" and dealt with resentment, anger, abandonment and frustration. 

Two months later, I re-discovered my true self, regained self belief and now I am looking forward to living the life I want; with clear boundaries, respect for self and others, happier, more aligned, and with a fire in my belly to achieve great things. Thank you Dear Nicola, for being with me on this journey, for "holding me" tightly while I was working through my difficulties and for keeping your door open, should I ever needed to knock again. Forever grateful I found you."

“I’ve been relatively fortunate in life, reaching my 50s without suffering any significant symptoms of low mood, anxiety or adverse mental health. Then something happened, and I needed help. I found Nicola, who was great…. and across five excellent sessions she listened and explored before correctly landing on the emotions I needed to tackle. And each week, without fail, she would hit the nail on the head with a ‘silver bullet’ moment, and complemented that with helpful recommendations of external sources of information such as books.

 My course of counselling with Nicola helped me process events, and ultimately find a strategy to cope for the future - one that is working well. Most importantly for me, it was about identifying and understanding the emotions I went through. And with that knowledge 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.”  

  

 "At the start of my EFT I was doubtful that anything could help me with the phobia I’ve suffered with for over 15 years. Despite years of therapy, trying lots of difficult techniques, nothing had worked. During the process, whilst working on particular incidences of the phobia I had experienced, it gradually became more difficult to remember these experiences. Through having this therapy, my anxiety has significantly lessened. Nicola was incredibly empathetic and intuitive, making me feel completely understood. My experience of EFT left me feeling optimistic and positive about a future free from anxiety. I would definitely recommend EFT and Nicola!"

“Nicola has so many ways of working to expertly offer at different stages or ‘states’ in the therapy, and throughout our work together has been dedicated to helping me find ways to feel heard, seen, valid, as well as offering tools to support me in crisis. I sense she spends a lot of time learning and attending to her knowledge to ensure she can wrap her approach around a client in a way that’s both gentle and yet optimum for their ongoing growth. Nicola understands that not all clients move at a similar pace and some ( like me) go back and forth, and zig zag around in healing, with anger one minute, then laughter, then sadness. Her understanding of attachment has really helped me learn more about my relationships. And I was impressed that she’s been able to support me across a variety of different challenges, some of them not widely understood or even believed…. allowing me for the first time to not doubt myself. She’s really very skilled and listens so attentively.”

“Previous to learning the breathwork techniques, I experienced panic attacks and anxious thoughts multiple times a day. I had no feeling of connection to my life. I was avoiding a lot of situations that I worried would bring on a panic attack making me feel isolated and stupid. 

Breathwork has worked so well for me to control anxious thoughts, rising panic and panic attacks. Things that trigger anxious thoughts or panic attacks suddenly don't appear frightening anymore. It helps me feel calm, connected to my life and the people around me and as a result, I am less anxious. I rarely get rising panic or anxious thoughts and when I do, I use the breathwork to get my thoughts and physical reactions under control so I can move on from the anxious thought and get back to living my life. 

With practice, breathwork has become my go-to tool when I am feeling anxious, in part because it can be done anywhere, at anytime and no one around you can see that you are doing it. I have more confidence in situations that previously triggered panic because I know I can use the breathing techniques at anytime to get control.”

“I approached Nicola following a miscarriage in 2021 and I was looking for support overcoming the trauma. I can’t overstate the impact that Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has had on my life. Within only a couple of sessions I began to feel more like myself after months of anger, depression and stress impacting my relationships and work life. The weight had lifted and two months later I became pregnant. Although I’ll never know for sure if EFT helped (me to get pregnant), it certainly enabled me to feel more relaxed and that can’t be a bad thing when trying to conceive! Nicola continued to support me through pregnancy, a difficult birth experience and the pressures of new motherhood, as well as other anxieties I’ve had for years and never addressed before. Initially I was hesitant about therapy over the phone rather than in person, but her calming manner and voice have made the calls so easy. It’s easily the best money I spend every month and I can’t recommend Nicola more.”

“I feel so much better and lighter”.

“I was suffering from PTSD around COVID and trauma from a previous abusive relationship. Nicola helped me immensely. She gave me a breathing technique that allowed me to feel calm and safe and I could use this any time of the day or night. It gave me a break from the feelings of constant anxiety and fear and helped change my life. The assessment was over zoom and this worked well. Nicola talked me through everything in a way that I could understand and explained the process and what could help. I’m just so grateful for what she taught me and how simple and easy it was to apply to my daily life.”

“The best and most powerful therapy that I have ever received / taken part in! It did wonders! I feel and see the difference in myself and so do those close to me”.
