I’m Nicola, a multi-award winner, founder of Brainworks Therapy, and a mental health disruptor on a mission.
With over two decades on the frontlines as a Specialist Psychiatric Nurse, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist, and Transformational Consultant, I don’t just talk trauma, resilience, and confidence, I live and breathe them.
Armed with a DipHE in Mental Health Nursing, certifications like the HPD and DSFH, and professional registrations with the NMC, AFSFH, and NCH, I bring clinical clout with real-world results.
From community clinics to acute wards, prison wings to courtroom steps, I’ve seen it all. And through every chapter, one mission has never wavered: to empower professional women to rewire their brains, master their mindsets, manage their emotions, build unshakable resilience, and take radical ownership of their mental health and their lives.
At Brainworks Therapy, I work with corporate and professional women who are ready to stop playing small and start thriving.
This isn’t surface-level self-care. This is soul-deep transformation.
I specialise in untangling complex trauma, PTSD, and the emotional baggage no one else dares to touch.
My mission is to flip the script on mental health for high-performing women who’ve been underestimated, overlooked, or overwhelmed. Rewiring brains. Reclaiming power. Rewriting generational stories.
By blending cutting-edge neuroscience with evidence-based practice and soul-aligned leadership, I help you break toxic cycles, build resilience, and own your magic - without apology.
This is therapy and transformation that actually works and lasts.

I run monthly Coffee and Chats in the local community to raise mental health awareness, break down stigma, and continue the conversation around mental health. Join her to connect, share, and learn in a supportive environment.
You’ll find me speaking out on the big stages and in the real-world trenches. From BBC Breakfast to The Independent, I use every platform to raise the bar and the conversation around mental health because awareness is power, and power starts with being heard.
My extensive knowledge of mental health and neuroscience also allows me to deliver impactful empowerment talks to corporate clients and small groups. These sessions are designed to help you achieve your goals, improve communication, and feel more empowered to lead.
