Counselling & Mindfulness for individuals, in Dingley, Melbourne and Telehealth Online across Australia, and the World

Building self-awareness and confidence to live your most meaningful life

You may be seeking support to manage the stressors of the time we live in or specific events in your own life. Maybe your usual coping strategies (like distraction) are no longer serving you, and you need new ways of managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or pain. Or you may be on a journey of self-discovery and want someone to walk alongside you, providing guidance in a safe and non-judgemental space, to explore aspects of yourself which have been ignored and need some attention in order for you to grow and thrive.

I’m here to support you and be your safe place - to attune to what you need and walk with you through that change and into a joyful future.

Counselling Appointments

I’m available to see clients for in-person sessions in Dingley, Melbourne and with Telehealth online across Australia, and worldwide.

Some counselling clients come for one or two sessions to clear a particular block or find solutions and strategies. Others work with me for years, dipping in and out, and others have regular long term appointments. You are completely in control – I am led by your needs.

I pride myself on being an exceptional listener with an innate ability to ‘get’ my clients.

There is no box or formula.

I work for you and with you, so you feel supported yet appropriately challenged.

We can use talk therapy, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Focusing Oriented Therapy, Solution Focussed Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness practices, tapping, or a combination of all of them—whatever works best for you and your needs. You don’t need a referral or a mental health care plan.

  • “Nicky is kind, compassionate, and genuine. She helps you to figure out what's important to you and is incredibly supportive. She also has lots of strategies and tools that can help you deal with whatever is going on in your life. If you need someone to talk to, I highly recommend having a chat to Nicky.”

  • “I feel safe with Nicky’s guidance. It’s helping me heal and grow.”

    Counselling Client on ‘Talked'

  • Nicky is always calm, and gently uplifting in our conversations. During sessions, she takes time to pause to recognise my journey so far, while also knowing when to nudge a little deeper. At the end of each session, I leave with tangible actions for my week ahead while tackling the hard stuff, or things to think about to help me progress and grow in the directions I want/need to. Highly recommend!
