For women who, on the outside, seem like everything is going well, but inside, struggle to feel confident in who they are. You might find you self-doubt, people-please, or often feel like you're either 'too much' or 'not quite enough' both in yourself, and in relationships.
Therapy for self-worth, confidence & relationships
If you find yourself caught in patterns like doubting and second-guessing yourself, overthinking or replaying conversations in your head, being hard on yourself, or always prioritising other people over yourself, you're not alone. Many of the women I work with have carried these same struggles. On the outside, things may seem fine, they're thoughtful, they care, but inside, they may struggle to know who they are, feel insecure in relationships, or question their worth or value.
I’ve supported many women through these same feelings, and I’ve seen how things can begin to shift when you understand where they come from, why they’re there, and begin to heal the deeper roots underneath. When we approach these patterns with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment, it creates space for something new. You can feel more confident, grounded, and develop a stronger, more secure sense of self, healthier, more fulfilling relationships. and quiet knowing that you’re enough, exactly as you are.
Heal the deeper roots
Find a grounded, lasting confidence
Develop a calmer, more secure, and confident sense of self, trust your own voice and express yourself more openly and authentically, make decisions with greater clarity and ease, create healthier, more balanced and fulfilling relationships, feel more comfortable in your body and with your emotions, and be able to meet yourself with compassion, in whichever moment.
My approach is compassionate, grounding, and gently directive, balanced with warmth and authenticity. I use a variety of tools to suit your needs uniquely. Some of my most used approaches are IFS, Psychodynamic, ACT, and Inner Child work. I am also fully accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, fully insured, and attend regular CPD

Work with me
Hi, I'm Nicola, a therapist and fellow human. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and I love the beach, coffee, and comfy outfits! I'm passionate about supporting women to feel truly confident in themselves and in relationships.
For a lot of my life, I struggled with confidence myself, always putting other people on a pedestal and thinking I had to change myself to fit in and feel accepted. I'd often end up in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, and questioning if i was enough, especially in relationships.
Going through a difficult time in my late twenties, where I felt extremely lost and disconnected, and when I started therapy, was when everything changed for me, and ultimately what inspired me to become a therapist myself.
Therapy helped me uncover where these patterns had come from and why I struggled with certain things, like self-doubt, prioritising myself, and sharing my feelings authentically, so much. But, most importantly, it became a place for healing, finding myself, and starting to recognise my worth and value for the first time, which has been so freeing and has impacted so many other areas of my life positively, including my friendships, health, relationships, work, and career.
I now believe self-worth to be at the heart of a lot of struggles, which is why I wanted to specialise in this in my own practice.

"I now see myself in a much more postive light”
From the very first session Nicola’s warmt and understanding made me feel at ease, she helped me peel back the layers of self-doubt and emotional diconnection, guiding me to reconnect with my genuine emotions and express myself with passion, fun and gentleness once again.
"I genuinely looked forward to our sessions every single week, and my relationships have improved so much"
As someone who wasn't a vulnerable person, it was such a weird experience for me going into therapy and actually enjoying talking about things, it felt like a breath of fresh air.
"I’m a visibly different person now, more confident, sure of myself, and playful"
I got to do fun exercises where I got to know myself even better than I knew before. I'll always credit Nicola for opening the doors to this version of me.”
"I can't even fully explain how freeing the sessions with you were"
You made me feel so comfortable from the first session through to our last and I am so grateful I found you and grateful for the space you held from the get go, you immediately got me.
"Nicola has been the best therapist I've had, I'm now in a much better place"
She creates a beautiful safe space, we also have done so many useful tasks and also she’s hit the nail on the head with so many things, Building inner safety and inner child work was a big takeaway for me.
