Since working with Nicola I have gotten to understand myself and some of my behaviours much better. This understanding allows me to be kinder to myself & improve how I deal with anxiety. She has given me effective tools I can use in training and at competitions which have meant I’ve been able to perform well even on days I’ve not felt mentally great. I also use the techniques she’s taught me to manage anxiety in day to day life. Nicola also encouraged me to take a bolder medical step in improving my mental health. I’m extremely grateful for her guidance.

Nicola enabled me to understand and manage my feelings of anxiety which were manifesting in my daily life. She recognised that I was focused on perfectionism and always looking ahead, rather than being in the moment. I noticed that these thoughts and emotions were affecting my running performance also. At Torun in Poland at the World Championships I felt light and ready for a racing. I was able to say to myself "Just run!" And ran in the moment and got a PB. Thank you Nicola.

Senor Performance Manager
I’ve constantly looked to improve my game as a semi professional footballer, through; nutrition, recovery or conditioning. However, I’ve noticed the biggest change in my game since working with Nicola. My performance and mindset has changed dramatically. From being inconsistent and not being present during games, to always having a subconscious block to releasing my full potential. I have learnt so much about myself. Through simple techniques, Nicola showed me how to be more present. I now feel more confident than ever. I know what I need to do to perform to my full potential.
