About me
“My aim is to help people understand where their experience of life is coming from so that they can reconnect with their innate well-being.”
Nicky has owned her own therapy business since 2007, working under the business name of Hippo Coaching.
She is passionate about helping people to truly understand the nature of the human mind. This raised awareness means that people stop being frightened by their experience of life and they can be graceful during the lows and grateful during the highs that are a part of everyone’s lives.
Nicky gets amazing results in a short period of time as she believes that nobody is ‘broken’ or needs ‘fixing’. Nicky knows that well-being is our nature but that we sometimes don’t feel it as we innocently misunderstand how life works and what causes both peace and suffering.
Nicky is also a qualified Business and Personal Coach having trained with Barefoot Coaching. She has experience of working with adults experiencing a wide range of mental health problems.
Her experience includes working as a trauma specialist, training school staff in well-being, developing & delivering parenting workshops, raising awareness of stress and wellbeing in organisations. Nicky is involved with a number of local charities. In previous careers she has worked as a consultant running an initial teacher training course and in human resources.
Qualifications
Hg.Dip.P, Bsc (hons) Psychology of Human Communication (1st class), Certificate in Business & Personal Coaching.

Testimonials
"To be honest, I was quite blown away by the experience which is something I was not expecting. I was anxious and slightly nervous before the session as I didn't quite know what to expect. But after speaking to Nicky before the session started, I felt calm and relaxed - this is entirely due to Nicky's wonderful, calming presence, she was able to reassure me and ensured I understood entirely what to expect which enabled me to feel open. I think everyone finds it difficult to be vulnerable in these kinds of situations, I, myself find it very difficult as I find it hard to trust the process and to trust people. However, Nicky made me feel safe and gave me the space to feel secure, cushioned and in a way looked after.
"Thank you Nicky, so glad you're doing this work and bringing your gifts to the world."
“I worked with Nicky for several weeks after I’d been suffering with on/off depression for around 18 months. I was managing to get myself out of the dark times, but they kept returning, therefore I felt I would benefit from some professional help.
I knew I was navigating a spiritual awakening and I was going through a transformation phase, but I felt very much in the dark and alone. I had suffered a string of bereavements during this time and, despite applying different healing methods, I felt there was more that I needed to be doing to help with the psychological trauma and mental anguish I was experiencing. Nicky was just the right person for me; she helped me to understand myself better, manage the compulsive thinking and release past trauma, but she also applied her spiritual knowledge into the sessions which resonated with me on a very deep level. Thanks to Nicky I’m so much further forward on my spiritual path, I feel free and in control. It’s so wonderful to return to the light after such an intensely dark period! Thanks so much Nicky”
