Do you ever look around and feel like other people are more confident and secure in who they are? Maybe you self-doubt, second-guess yourself, or worry about how others perceive you, or perhaps you often feel like you're 'too much' or 'not quite enough'.
These patterns can leave you feeling anxious, unsure, and disconnected from who you are, but they can also be a gentle invitation inward, toward reconnecting with yourself, your own value, and building a confidence that truly feels like yours.
Therapy for self-worth and confidence
If you find yourself caught in patterns like self-doubting, overthinking or anxiety, you're not alone. Many of the women I work with have carried these same struggles. On the outside, things may seem fine, but inside, they may often compare themselves to others, question their value or whether they're truly enough. I've supported many women through these same feelings, and I’ve seen how things can shift when you understand where these feelings come from, why they’re there, and begin to heal the deeper roots underneath. When we approach these patterns with curiosity, compassion and without judgement, and begin to take gentle, intentional steps forward, it creates space for something new.
Imagine moving through life with ease, feeling grounded in your worth and confident in who you are. Imagine trusting your own voice, expressing yourself and your feelings authentically, and setting boundaries that honour your value. Imagine creating relationships that feel genuine, connected and fulfilling. Picture feeling comfortable in your own skin and being able to meet yourself with compassion. Imagine having a deep inner clarity, feeling secure in yourself and having a quiet knowing that you are good enough, exactly as you are.
Heal the root cause, find lasting confidence
I am a fully accredited integrative therapist offering 1:1 online therapy. I love how online sessions give you flexibility and accessibility, as well as allowing you to show up from a space that feels comfortable and familiar.
Integrative therapy means I combine tools and perspectives from different modalities to support your needs uniquely. The approaches I use most often are all holistic, client-centred approaches that focus on healing the deeper roots of your experiences and working with both the mind and body, so you can create meaningful, lasting change.
I use a compassionate approach that balances depth with warmth and authenticity. I use a variety of tasks and tools in sessions for deeper exploration, as well as provide you with useful resources, so you can move forward with confidence even after our sessions together.
Weekly sessions are £70, or £80 for fortnightly or monthly sessions. I also offer some concessionary rates to help make therapy more accessible. Please ask if you'd like to find out more about these.
If you’re curious about working together, I offer a free consultation call. This is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to share a little about your current struggles, what you're hoping to achieve in therapy, and to see if we might be a good fit.
Therapy & Services
Hi, I'm Nicola. I live in Newcastle Upon Tyne and I love the beach, coffee, and comfy outfits! (Or basically anything cosy!). I'm passionate about supporting women to feel truly confident in themselves.
For a lot of my life, I struggled with confidence myself, always putting other people on a pedestal, and thinking I had to change myself to fit in and feel accepted. I'd often feel anxious and end up in patterns of overthinking, second-guessing, and doubting if I was enough. Deep down, I felt lost and disconnected from who I was.
Starting therapy in my late twenties is when everything changed for me, and ultimately what inspired me to train to be a therapist myself. Therapy helped me uncover where these patterns had come from and why I struggled with certain things, like self-trust and feeling secure in myself so much. Most importantly, it became a place for healing, finding myself, and starting to recognise my worth and value for the first time, which has been so freeing and has impacted so many other areas of my life positively, including my friendships, relationships, work, and business.
I believe self-worth to be the heart of a lot of struggles, which is why I wanted to specialise in this area in my own practice.

You made me feel so comfortable from the first session through to our last and I am so grateful I found you and grateful for the space you held from the get go, you immediately got me.
"I now also see myself in a much more postive light”
From the very first session Nicola’s warmt and understanding made me feel at ease, she helped me peel back the layers of self-doubt and emotional diconnection, guiding me to reconnect with my genuine emotions and express myself with passion, fun and gentleness once again.
"I genuinely looked forward to our sessions every single week, and my relationships have improved so much"
As someone who wasn't a vulnerable person, it was such a weird experience for me going into therapy and actually enjoying talking about things, it felt like a breath of fresh air.
"Nicola has been the best therapist I've had, I'm now in a much better place"
She creates a beautiful safe space, we also have done so many useful tasks and also she’s hit the nail on the head with so many things, Building inner safety and inner child work was a big takeaway for me.
