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.  My love of storytelling began as a child and I studied writing as therapy as well as visual arts at ECU. I believe creativity lies in us all and unlocking or embracing it can show us new possibilities.

As a wounded healer, I have had extensive counselling for chronic health conditions and know well the effects of the misogynistic medical system. I began my Master of Counselling in 2022 after an emergency surgery reinvigorated my desire (and ability) to help others, and I qualified in July 2026.  

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

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.
