Do you ever look around and feel like others are more confident and secure in who they are? Perhaps you often self-doubt, second-guess yourself, or worry about how you come across, especially in relationships.
These patterns can leave you feeling anxious, unsure, and like you're not quite enough, but they can also be a gentle invitation inward toward healing, reconnecting with yourself, and feeling secure and confident, both in who you are and in your connections with others.
Therapy for self-worth, confidence & relationships
If you find yourself caught in patterns like people-pleasing, bending to fit in or feeling insecure in relationships, you're not alone. Many of the women I work with have carried these same struggles. On the outside, things may seem fine, but inside, they may quietly self-doubt or question their worth. I've supported many women through these same feelings, and I’ve seen how things can shift when you understand where these feelings come from, why they’re there, and begin to heal the deeper roots underneath. When we approach these patterns with curiosity, compassion and without judgement, it creates space for something new.
Imagine moving through life feeling grounded in your worth and confident in who you are. Imagine trusting yourself, your own voice and setting boundaries that honour your values. Imagine feeling comfortable in your own skin and meeting yourself, your thoughts and feelings, with compassion. Picture creating a life and relationships that feel genuine, authentic and fulfilling and that truly reflect you.
Heal the deeper roots,
create the relationships you truly want
I am an Integrative therapist offering 1:1 online therapy. I love how online therapy offers both accessibility and ease, while also allowing you to connect from a place that feels safe and familiar.
Integrative therapy means I combine tools and perspectives from different modalities to support your needs uniquely. The approaches I use are all holistic, client-centred approaches that focus on healing the deeper roots of your experiences, as well as taking positive steps forward.
Together, we’ll work through what’s coming up for you in the present around confidence and how you relate to yourself and others, whilst also gently exploring any past experiences that may still be impacting you today.
We’ll work through healing old feelings and patterns, whilst also supporting you to move forward in building a confident, secure sense of self that truly reflects you and healthier, more balanced and fulfilling relationships.
I use a compassionate approach that balances depth with warmth and authenticity.
Sessions are £70 and can be booked weekly or fortnightly. I also offer some concessionary rates and monthly sessions to help therapy feel more accessible. Please ask if you'd like to find out more about these.
If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free consultation call. This is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to share a little about your current struggles, what you're hoping to achieve in therapy, and to see if we might be a good fit.
1:1 Online Therapy
Hi, I'm Nicola. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and I love the beach, coffee, and comfy outfits! (or basically anything cosy!). I'm passionate about supporting people to feel confident in themselves and in their relationships.
For a lot of my life, I struggled with confidence, always putting other people on a pedestal, and thinking I had to change myself to fit in and feel accepted. I'd often feel anxious and end up in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing and doubting if I was enough, especially in relationships. Deep down, I felt disconnected from who I was.
Starting therapy in my late twenties is when everything changed for me, and ultimately what inspired me to train to be a therapist myself. Therapy helped me uncover where these patterns had come from and why I struggled with certain things, like boundaries so much. 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, relationships, work, and business.
I believe self-worth to be the heart of a lot of struggles, which is why I wanted to specialise in this area in my own practice.

"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.
"I now also 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.
"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.
