My approach is grounded in understanding who you are and what you need, so our work together feels meaningful, supportive, and uniquely your own. I aim to create a space where you can share freely and feel truly seen and heard. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you and move at a pace that feels right for you. Through this personalized process, we’ll aim to deepen your self-awareness, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support your growth and ability to create positive change in your life.

Holistic and Integrative Therapy

Appreciating your uniqueness, I apply a holistic and integrative approach to supporting your mental health that takes into consideration your emotional, physical, behavioural, and social well-being to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Evidence-Based Modalities

I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities of psychotherapy to support your growth & progress including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocesssing (EMDR), Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy, the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and various mindfulness techniques.

Psychotherapy & Counselling Services

Individual Psychotherapy & Counselling

Psychotherapy is a supportive, talk-based process built on trust, connection, and collaboration. At its core, therapy centres around building a strong therapeutic relationship with you and creating a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can be yourself, explore what’s on your mind, and move toward change at a pace that feels right for you.

Therapy is not about being “fixed.” It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, recognizing your strengths, and developing practical tools to help you think, feel, and respond in ways that better support your life. Together, we use evidence-based approaches to support your emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and an improved quality of life.

Individual therapy can help you:

Feel more confident and grounded in yourself
Understand and manage your emotions more effectively
Build healthier relationships—with yourself and others
Communicate more clearly and assertively
Improve motivation and focus
Move toward your personal and professional goals

Sessions are currently offered online or by phone.

Couples Psychotherapy & Counselling

Couples therapy offers a supportive space to slow things down and talk about what’s been hard to address on your own. It’s a place where both partners can feel heard, understood, and respected while exploring concerns that may be creating distance, tension, or disconnection in the relationship.

Using a compassionate, non-judgemental approach, sessions draw from evidence-based models such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. Together, we focus on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck and gently working toward healthier ways of relating. Couples therapy considers both individual experiences and the dynamics between you, recognizing that each partner plays an important role in the relationship.

Whether you’re looking to improve communication, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, reconnect emotionally, or clarify shared goals, couples therapy can support you in making sense of what’s happening and exploring new possibilities for your relationship—at a pace that feels manageable for both of you.

Couples therapy can support you in:

Strengthening emotional connection and understanding
Improving communication and collaboration as a team
Creating safer, more productive conversations
Rebuilding trust and intimacy over time
Recognizing and shifting unhelpful relationship patterns
Working through relational hurts and ruptures

Services are currently being offered online or via phone.

Additional Services

Coaching

Nicola also offers coaching as a certified coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Coaching is not psychotherapy. Coaching takes a strength-based and appreciative approach that focuses on deepening your awareness through conversation. Coaching focuses on your present situation and future goals rather than on your past experiences to help you close the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be. Through collaborative partnership, coaching helps you clarify your goals, create a plan to bring about the change you are seeking, and move towards living your best life with increased confidence.

Coaching Sessions - 50 mins / $175.00
