I'm Nicola.

I'm an Advanced Accredited EFT Practitioner and Empowerment Coach, as well as a secondary school teacher. My work brings together two areas that have become a big part of my professional life: EFT and emotional change, and working with people in recovery and education.

I don't believe in pretending that life is always positive, or that a few nice words can fix difficult things. Sometimes we know exactly what we need to change, but still can't seem to change it. That's where my work comes in.

How I Got Here

My own journey into this work started through recovery and my experience of changing patterns that had been part of my life for a long time. I discovered EFT along the way, and it became a practical tool for working with the emotional side of change. It helped me understand that knowing something in my head wasn't always enough. I could understand why I was doing something and still find myself reacting in the same way. EFT gave me another way to work with those reactions. That experience eventually led me to train as an EFT Practitioner and Empowerment Coach, and to begin using the tools that had helped me in my own life with other people.

My Professional Background

Alongside my EFT and coaching work, I am an experienced secondary school teacher. I've been teaching for nine years which has included working at a school that was placed in special measures and working as a supply teacher for the last four years across a range of settings including SEND, college and alternative provisions. From September 2026, I'll be joining a specialist independent school working with neurodivergent young people. Alongside education, I continue to work as an EFT and Meditation / Mindfulness Teacher within addiction treatment and rehabilitation settings. These aren't separate parts of my life. Together, they have shaped the way I work and the areas I'm particularly interested in.

How I Work

I'm practical, straightforward and human. I won't tell you to “just think positively” or pretend that difficult emotions don't exist. EFT gives us a practical way to work with what's happening emotionally. Empowerment coaching gives us space to look at the beliefs, choices and patterns around it. We start with what's actually going on for you. Then we work from there. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin, and you don't need to know exactly what you need help with.

That's something we can work out together.
