Chartered Coaching & Occupational Psychologist
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.
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.
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 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.
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 £115 per 90 minute session, with discounted packages available from £300 for 3 sessions. I offer a free initial exploratory conversation.
Organisations requiring Executive or Leadership Coaching packages can request further information on associated fees.
Psychometric assessments can be included at an additional charge.
Get in touch for further information on packages and associated fees, with no obligation.
