About Me

I'm Nicola, a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and Positive Psychology Practitioner with a deep passion for helping people flourish — personally, professionally, and collectively. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of coaching senior leaders, high potentials, and aspiring entrepreneurs across the globe, drawing on over 2,500 hours of coaching experience.

My journey began in education, where I spent many years leading and supporting others. That foundation, combined with my MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, shaped my belief that real, lasting change happens when we create space for insight, growth, and wellbeing. Today, I combine science-backed strategies from psychology with a warm, human-centred approach to support individuals and teams in becoming more self-aware, resilient, and fulfilled.

Whether I’m mentoring coaches-in-training, facilitating interactive workshops, or speaking on the power of positive psychology, I’m energised by the possibility of transformation — and by the meaningful connections I build along the way.
