One to One Coaching
Hi I'm Nicky,
I coach people who want to find their voice and bring more of who they are into the world.
My clients have included teachers, creatives, coaches, speakers, lecturers, professionals, artists and business owners.
I support you to speak or express yourself from a place of aligned inner confidence and make peace with your voice.

If you'd like to talk more about the kind of support that might work for you then book a free 20 minute call with me, I'll make sure you leave with a practice or approach that you can put into action straight away and we can both see whether we'd be a good fit.
You want to live a more fully expressed life, that is creatively and emotionally aligned. One that has a positive impact for yourself, your family, your community and the planet.
You’re likely a caring person who might end up taking on more than your fair share because it was hard to say 'no'.
You're also someone with great wisdom and experience so people come to you for advice and support, you have a lot to give and offer but might not be sure where to start when it comes to allowing your own voice to shine through.
Maybe you want to write a book, share a talk or story on stage, have a truthful conversation and feel heard.
Maybe you want to speak up about what matters to you but underneath there is self-doubt, fear and an underlying struggle to clearly express your feelings, thoughts, ideas and message without anxiety or depletion.
Perhaps you end up shutting down when you try to voice something that matters, and everything stays the same.
Your voice is needed in the world, more than ever. It is unique to you, just like your fingerprint.
- It can be hard to hear your truth amongst the noise, like you’ve lost connection with your ‘real’ voice inside.
- You end up saying ‘yes’ when you mean ‘no’ and get caught up in your head when you want to speak up.
- When you finally gather the courage to express yourself it can seem like everything shuts down or it all comes out wrong!
- You end up wasting your precious time and energy on what other people might think of you instead of trusting your own intuition and taking action on what truly matters to you.
- You start to do the work towards something you truly deeply want but when it comes to taking action it doesn’t happen, you stall, something gets in the way, you’ve taken on too much and you end up doing everything BUT the thing you really want!
No more lost opportunities, no more staying in a place that isn’t fulfilling you, no more hiding and diminishing your talents and gifts. You’ve had enough of holding yourself back and delaying your life.
Time is precious and so are YOU, one of the biggest regrets for people is not living a life true to themselves and to do that you need to trust yourself, tap into your voice, take small (or sometimes big) courageous steps and find the right support systems so you can express your truth and live a life that feels authentic and magical for you.
It’s time, you CAN do this and you can do it with ease, trust and confidence.
Nicky helped me so much with my presenting skills. I am a university lecturer and I was struggling with my confidence and feeling overwhelmed about delivering my lectures online for the first time this year.
In my private coaching sessions with Nicky, she gave me a breathing and warm-up routine to run through before presenting. I run through this every time before I present and it helps me feel centred and confident.
Nicky went above and beyond with helping me. She listened to my lectures between sessions and gave me invaluable feedback. I have so much more confidence and belief in myself as a lecturer and studio leader now that I can really enjoy my job.”

Hi I'm Nicky and I see you, and know how hard and insurmountable this can feel. I’ve been there and struggled to find my voice, feel confident in who I am, express my feelings so that I am heard and focus on what truly matters to me. It’s caused a lot of pain over the years, missed opportunities and times when it would have been healthier for me to move on instead of staying where I was.
No regrets, it’s a process, there are layers, there was past trauma to deal with, bypassing emotions that I needed to face, putting others' needs before my own and often a perceived lack of resources and support. However I’m truly grateful for the journey, for not giving up AND for making the decision to change keep moving forward with my dreams.
I asked for support instead of being the lone wolf, and after some trial and error the right support that resonated and aligned with my values appeared. I’ve learnt to appreciate and honour my gifts and talents, put myself first more often and cherish what is truly sacred and joyful for me to be and do.
I learnt to speak my truth to people who mattered to me from a place of understanding and empathy instead of reacting from my own unresolved places.
It hasn’t always looked like I thought it would, some dreams I’d given up on reappeared in a different form, some relationships were lost and others were deepened. The journey isn't over, in fact it's just beginning as we all continue to be a work in progress.

- Feel confident to be more of who you are in the world.
- Have clearer boundaries and understanding of your own needs.
- Experience a deep dive into uncovering any blocks/conditioning around your voice.

Working with Nicky has helped me to connect more deeply with my voice and trust in my intuition. Nicky held such a beautiful safe space where I could speak with vulnerability, allowing me to hear and feel what my voice was wanting to express. I am so deeply grateful for Nicky’s online voice coaching sessions – I felt heard, inspired and held. I feel so much more confident in my own voice and speaking from a place of Truth. I highly recommend “Voice Confidence Coaching” to anyone who feels they have something to say but their voice has been shutdown.

Why work with Nicky?
I'm pretty good at seeing 'you' and have over 30 years of combined experience acting professionally on stage and TV along with over 18yrs teaching yoga and meditation in the UK and Australia.
I have a degree in Performance and Theatre Studies along with a plethora of acting, voice, yoga, meditation and personal development trainings spanning 30+ years.
I'm committed to deepening my own growth every year, including voice-work, meditation, social justice, coaching best practice, embodiment and somatic training and trauma awareness.
I write and regularly get back on stage to perform and continue to facilitate weekly yoga and voice sessions.
This is a coaching program that provides a confidential space to explore healing the core connection to your own voice, working with inquiry, technique, story, self-awareness, power, empathy and presence.
I regularly receive feedback regarding my ability to facilitate a safe, inclusive space for both individuals and those in group sessions.
It's a powerful combination when we use physical embodiment practices, coaching and mindset/energetic work in a space where you can grow with full support.
My commitment is to see you confident, joyful and able to share your Voice and Whole Self with ease and presence.
When I started working online with Nicky she cut through a lot of my resistance. I was having a hard time doing video recordings and feeling confident in front of a camera. She patiently listened to one of my talks and by fine-tuning into my tone and my body language, she noticed where I was not connecting with myself. The few tips she gave me about this moment helped me shift out of it immediately.
She gave me a technique I use all the time. Whenever I feel my mind is going faster than my speaking voice I do that physical cue. I've now been able to slow down and pace myself during video appearances.
She also gave me a tip that helped me choose the right outfits for my photo shoot, the photographer loved all of them, I felt prepared for the shoot and could relax.
It's the little things that Nicky can cue into that makes all the difference.
I've worked with many other coaches but her insight and sensitivity really helped me move through my blocks and perceived obstacles.
