Reclaim your freedom, restore your energy, and build your confidence as you recover from chronic fatigue, burnout or an eating disorder.
Hello, I’m Nic.
I work with women and men navigating exhaustive conditions (like CFS/ME, neurodivergent and HSP burnout, and long-COVID), or challenges with eating and body image (such as eating disorders, disordered eating and body dysmorphia).
Guiding you with a holistic, trauma-informed mind-body approach, I will help you break free from experiences like perfectionism, self-criticism, and overthinking, so that you can build the foundations for your own recovery and live a life that is fully and authentically your own.
Have you ever felt that no matter how hard you try, it's never enough? If so, perhaps some of these ring true:
-
You have incredibly high standards for yourself and feel guilty or ashamed when you don’t meet them.
-
You focus on everyone else’s needs while your own get overlooked or ignored.
-
You feel trapped in the same patterns, repeating old cycles you can’t break, even when you want to.
-
You struggle to balance what you truly want with what you feel you “should” do.
-
Your inner critic is relentless, commenting on everything you do and making it hard to trust yourself.
-
You know deep down that something needs to change, but you don’t know where or how to begin.
The good news is that there is a way forward, and you don’t have to find it on your own
Life can feel overwhelming when perfectionism, self-criticism, and overthinking are running the show. Between managing fatigue, navigating challenges with food, and untangling the inner conflict that follows you everywhere, it’s easy to feel lost or unsure where to begin.
I'm a counselling psychologist and wellbeing coach who's been there. After living with an eating disorder in my twenties and chronic fatigue in my early forties, I now help my clients by combining my clinical expertise with a genuine understanding of what it means to feel exhausted, trapped, and uncertain about the way forward.
Working together, we'll:
1. Help you understand what's been happening
We’ll start by exploring your experiences, patterns, and personal history so you can see how everything connects. This step is about gaining clarity and awareness, understanding the pressures and expectations that have shaped your life, and recognising what’s been trapping you.
2. Find approaches that genuinely work for you
Next, we’ll identify small, practical actions to help you move forward - no one-size-fits-all plans, no generic advice. Each step will be purposeful, helping you respond differently, make choices that feel right, and start creating real, noticeable shifts in your daily life.
3. Build your confidence, restore your energy and help you find freedom
Finally, we’ll focus on helping you trust your own judgement, develop healthy coping responses, and believe in yourself as you reconnect with who you really are and what matters most.
When healing starts to happen
Recovery isn't a straight line, but over time, the good days become more frequent and the difficult ones grow further apart. The pressure to be perfect eases, and in its place comes a quieter trust - that you can move at your own pace, that change can come gently, and that you're allowed to take up space exactly as you are.
Slowly, almost without you realising it, your life will start to feel like it belongs to you again.
