Hello, I am Nicola. I have studied and worked in South Australia as well as Western Australia where I now live. I gained a Diploma of Counselling in 2007 whilst working as an education assistant before obtaining a Bachelor of Arts majoring in writing. 

I began my Masters of Counselling in 2022 after an emergency surgery showed me what I am really made of, and I qualified in May 2026. 

I have a loving, supportive partner of over 40 years, an amazing daughter and the most joyful grandchild I could wish for. I love music, playing Words with Friends with hubby, watching my native garden grow and attract wildlife, and helping my family and others when I can.

As a wounded healer, I have had extensive counselling for chronic health conditions and know well the effects of the misogynistic medical system. 

My best hope as a counsellor is that you will feel seen, heard and understood and, through that, find your inner strength and resilience to cope with the difficulties in your life. My role is to empower you to have the courage it takes to live authentically.
