Nicola – Therapeutic Coach, Clinical Lead & Founder in Greenwich
NICOLA
PG, AdvDip, EMCC, MBACP (Accred) Clinical Lead | Founder
Clinical Lead | Founder, Niche Therapists
With nearly two decades of experience, I specialise in supporting high-functioning individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD traits, confidence difficulties and career-related uncertainty.
Based in Greenwich and working with clients across Blackheath and beyond, I provide structured, neuroscience-informed therapy that helps clients understand what is happening beneath the surface – and build sustainable emotional resilience, clarity and self-trust.
My clients are often capable, outwardly successful individuals who appear composed – yet internally feel overwhelmed, blocked, or quietly exhausted by the pressure they carry.
I also offer Walk & Talk Therapy in Greenwich Park, integrating therapeutic conversation with movement, where appropriate.
Clinical Approach
Many of the clients I work with are intelligent, driven and reflective — but stuck in patterns of overthinking, emotional intensity or self-doubt.
My work integrates:
EMDR – to process experiences that continue to trigger emotional reactivity or mental blocks
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to identify and restructure unhelpful thinking patterns
Attachment-informed therapy – to explore relational dynamics and core beliefs
Positive Psychology – to strengthen motivation, resilience and direction
Coaching frameworks – to create clarity, accountability and forward momentum
This integrative approach supports both emotional regulation and sustainable performance — without sacrificing wellbeing.
EMDR is introduced only when clients feel psychologically safe and it is clinically appropriate.
Walk & Talk Therapy in Greenwich Park
For clients who prefer a more dynamic setting, I offer Walk & Talk sessions in Greenwich Park.
Working outdoors can:
- Reduce emotional intensity
- Support nervous system regulation
- Enhance reflective thinking
- Feel less formal and more spacious
This option is particularly helpful for individuals who think more clearly while moving, or who find traditional face-to-face settings restrictive.
Walk & Talk sessions are structured, confidential and planned for discretion
Areas of Specialist Focus
Anxiety & Mental Blocks
Overthinking, performance anxiety, stress-related overwhelm and emotional intensity.
ADHD Traits
Particularly where impulsivity, focus challenges or emotional regulation impact confidence, relationships or career progression.
Confidence & Identity
Strengthening self-trust, reducing self-doubt and developing internal stability.
Career Coaching & Direction
Supporting professionals navigating leadership pressure, career transitions, creative blocks or misalignment between external success and internal fulfilment.
Performance & High-Achieving Clients
Alongside therapeutic work, I support athletes, artists and business professionals seeking to break through psychological barriers and operate at a high level without burnout.
The focus is not simply achievement – but sustainable performance rooted in emotional regulation, psychological flexibility and clarity of direction.

Why I Do This Work
My work is informed by both clinical training and lived experience. Earlier in my career as a fashion stylist, panic attacks forced me to confront patterns I had previously pushed through. Therapy allowed me to address underlying drivers rather than manage symptoms alone – reshaping both my health and professional direction.
That experience led me to retrain as a therapist in 2008. Since then, I have dedicated my career to helping others move forward with clarity, resilience and sustainable confidence.
Who I Work With
I work with ambitious, thoughtful individuals in Greenwich and surrounding areas who want more than symptom management – they want deeper understanding, emotional steadiness and forward movement.
Sessions are structured, reflective and tailored to each client’s goals.
