Welcome to the heart of healing where we do therapy a little differently.
Our approach supports going deeper, to trust the intelligence that lies within.
Nicole is a compassionate counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in Somatic Experiencing®, a gentle body-based approach to healing trauma, stress and nervous system dysregualtion.
Drawing on trauma neurobiology, attachment theory, behaviour, and the nervous system, she provides individual therapy that integrates talk therapy and somatic techniques.
Nicole helps her clients feel safe and supported by building meaningful connection. In her relational approach, she encourages clients to stay curious and explore deeply. This openness creates more room for expansion, growth and change.

Somatic psychotherapy, also known as body-oriented therapy, is all about the connection between your emotions, your experiences, and your body.
