1:1 Coaching
You've been holding it together for a long time.
Something has to change.
For senior leaders, founders and high performers who are carrying more than anyone around them knows, and done pretending otherwise. Online across the UK, Europe, UAE and USA.
You won't have said any of this out loud.
Underneath everything else, most of the leaders I work with just want to feel like themselves again.
What this work covers
Whether you're navigating executive burnout, high-functioning anxiety, leadership pressure or a high performance plateau, the work is the same. We go underneath the symptoms to what's actually driving them.
Most people who come to me have already tried coaching or therapy. Coaching gave them a framework they quietly filed away. Therapy helped them understand themselves better, but didn't touch the real-world pressure they were still walking back into every day.
That's the work. Clinical psychotherapy and executive coaching in the same space, so we don't just understand what's getting in the way. We actually shift it.
When do senior leaders reach out?
- You've stepped into a bigger role and the imposter syndrome is louder than it's ever been.
- You're in every room you worked to get into, delivering the results, and barely holding it together behind closed doors.
- Decisions that used to feel instinctive are taking twice as long.
- You're giving your team everything. Except the version of you that used to love this work.
- The high-functioning anxiety that used to drive your performance is starting to cost more than it gives.
- You've tried everything. The framework. The holiday. The system. None of it touched what was actually driving it.
"I came to Nicola feeling constantly overwhelmed by the pressures of my job. I've learned invaluable techniques to manage my stress and anxiety. Her empathetic approach has had a profound impact on my overall wellbeing. I now approach my responsibilities with a clear and focused mind, which has improved my decision-making and efficiency and positively influenced the entire finance department."
Jon B., Director of Finance

The people around you step up
The weekends are genuinely yours
"I had been promoted quickly and privately struggling ever since. My team had stopped coming to me and I didn't know why. Nicola helped me trace it back to what was actually going on underneath. Once I understood it, the defensiveness dropped, the relationships changed, and I stopped needing to protect myself in every meeting and started actually leading."
Mark, COO, Engineering Recruitment
How I work
Support when you actually need it.
With most coaching, something difficult happens and you're on your own for another ten days. The anxiety spikes at 10pm on a Tuesday and there's nobody there.
That's not how this works. You have direct WhatsApp access between sessions, so you deal with what comes up when it actually happens.
Availability
To ensure the work stays genuinely personal, I work with a maximum of 12 clients at a time.

"I've struggled with burnout for years. Nicola provided the support and guidance I needed to reclaim my wellbeing. Her tailored approach and genuine care have helped me find joy in both my personal and professional life again. I'm more energised and motivated, which has boosted my performance and job satisfaction in ways I didn't think were possible."
Kelly M., Director
The Programmes
What does staying exactly where you are actually cost?
- →The decisions that are taking longer because your head never fully clears.
- →The opportunities you didn't go for because the confidence wasn't quite there when it mattered.
- →The team culture that quietly shifts when the person at the top is running on empty, even when nobody says anything about it.
The people who call me have almost always known for longer than they've admitted. Most of them say the same thing when we're done: the only thing they regret is not doing it sooner.

"I came to Nicola feeling overwhelmed and anxious all the time. Not only do I feel more at peace, but my productivity at work has completely changed. I approach everything differently now. Within eight weeks I was working four days a week and had cut four hours of pointless meetings from my diary. I stopped second-guessing every decision and started leading instead of reacting."
