About me
Coaching Psychology for
Professional Success
I am an experienced psychologist specialising in coaching professionals
across diverse industries and job roles.
As a dual Chartered Coaching & Occupational Psychologist, accredited
by both the British Psychological Society and Health & Care Professions
Council, I bring over 15 years of expertise to my coaching practice.
Having held senior leadership positions and balanced a thriving career
with family responsibilities as a married mother of two, I understand the
unique challenges professionals face when juggling work - life pressures
and expectations.
Let's navigate your journey together towards fulfilling your career
development and personal growth.
Coaching Portfolio
In my role as a coach, my goal is to help you develop the
self understanding, skills and attitudes that will enable you
to succeed in life and at work. Often people have a goal in
mind, or they have a challenge they wish to overcome.
Some of the topics I coach people on include:
- Improving job performance
- Relationships / conflict at work
- Managing emotions at work
- Returning to work following a career break / parental
leave - Starting a new job or career
- Leadership and management challenges
- Achieving work-life balance
- Work-related stress
- Psychological blocks (imposter syndrome,
procrastination, avoidance, perfectionism etc) - Time management
- Confidence building & assertiveness
- Developing self awareness (through tools such as 360
feedback or personality profiling)

MY APPROACH
I help coachees to establish a clear goal, even when it
may be unclear to begin with. We will explore what needs
to happen to achieve your goal, and work through any
mental blocks that may be a barrier to your progress. I will
aim to stretch coachees, sometimes outside of their
comfort zone, but always within a supportive and non
judgemental coaching relationship. I love to see people
overcome their challenges, gain new perspective and
fulfil their true potential.
Coachee Testimonial
"I had a fantastic experience with Nicole as my coach.
She was extremely supportive, listened to my problem(s)
and helped to guide me through these by helping me
think of alternative ways of thinking/doing and
approaching situations. I really liked learning some of
the psychology around behaviours with Nicole, as this
helped me to understand "why" things were happening
so I could get more clarity and move forwards in the
situation. I would most definitely recommend Nicole as a
coach."
I subscribe to the Global Code of Ethics for coaches,
mentors and supervisors (see:
https//www.globalcodeofethics.org) as well as the British
Psychological Society and Health Professions Council
codes of ethics.
I undertake frequent coaching supervision. Good quality
coaching practice requires regular supervision as this
ensures standards are maintained.
Location
I am based in the North West of England, but I am able to
offer coaching remotely via MS Teams to anywhere in the UK
and globally.
Find out more
I offer prospective coachees an initial 30 minute
exploratory meeting free of charge. This provides
both of us an opportunity to consider whether we
wish to work together. It is just as important that
you feel comfortable with me, as it is that I feel able
to work with you. At the end of the first session, if
we are to work together, we will arrange to meet for
an agreed number of sessions.
We will agree the appropriate length and frequency
of sessions depending on your individual
requirements.
Fees
I offer single session coaching or programmes of
three to six sessions, usually 90 minutes per session.
Longer term coaching can also be offered depending
on your requirements.
For individuals seeking career or life coaching, fees
start from £150 per 60 minute session, with
discounted packages available from £420 for 3
sessions. I offer a free initial exploratory conversation.
