High-functioning on the outside, disconnected on the inside
You are an expert at getting things done, but the internal effort is exhausting. This is a calm, supportive space to put down the ‘should’s and reconnect with your own instincts
You’re in the right place if you’re ready to stop and
take a breath
When you’ve been on autopilot for a long time, it can be hard to know where to start. Being here is simply a choice to notice what’s going on and to consider that things could feel different, in a way that works for you.
I’m Nicola, a hypnotherapist and therapeutic coach
My work is shaped by both training and lived experience, and by sitting alongside women who look like they’re coping, but don’t always feel that way inside. I understand how easy it is to keep going on autopilot, even when life doesn’t quite feel like your own anymore.
I understand the quiet contributors, the observant ones, the reflective and thoughtful women, who are learning to use these skills as a strength. There are so many quietly brilliant women out there and I offer a space for you to honour this valuable skill.
The way I work is calm, supportive, and human, creating space for you to reconnect with yourself and take things one step at a time.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?
This approach combines talking therapy and insights from modern neuroscience to help you understand your brain in relation to what you are experiencing and is combined with the deeply relaxing benefit of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a calm, focused state that helps your mind and body settle. We focus on what you want to change and what can help you move forward.
What is Therapeutic Coaching?
This approach combines talking therapy with a person centred approach, using a combination of CBT, Human Givens and life coaching techniques . I offer clients the opportunity to use Somatic Coaching alongside this, providing an opportunity to create awareness between the mind and body. Somatic awareness offers you the chance to connect what you are experiencing in a felt sense in the body. We are not working on the processing of trauma in these sessions and if we establish together that this would be helpful to you I will always signpost you to look for a qualified therapist.
How we can work together
Initial consultation
This is a chance to talk things through properly and make sense of what’s been going on for you. We’ll look at what’s been happening, what feels difficult right now, and where you’d like things to feel different. The consultation focuses on where you are and what you want to change, without digging into everything from the past. There’s no hypnosis in this session, it’s simply space to talk, ask questions, and see what feels right for you.

I’m creating something for women who feel ready for more
For women who’ve been through something that shifted how life feels and are ready to make sense of what comes next
For when life looks okay from the outside, but inside you feel disconnected, flat, or on autopilot
For stepping out of survival mode and gently reconnecting with yourself, without pressure to fix or rush
For moving forward in a way that feels steady, supported, and true to who you are now
Ready to talk things through?
You don’t need to know exactly what you need yet. This is simply a space to ask questions, share what’s been going on for you, and see whether working together feels like the right next step.
