Nicola is the founder of Brainworks Therapy, an online private mental health clinic, where she specialises in empowering professional women to rewire their brains, change their mindsets, manage emotions, build resilience, and improve overall mental health. With over two decades of frontline experience as a Specialist Psychiatric Nurse, Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist, and Mindset Coach, Nicola has worked across community, acute, judicial, and custodial psychiatric services.

Nicola’s expertise lies in areas such as complex trauma, PTSD, perinatal mental health, and forensic mental health. She also delivers wellbeing, mindset, and resilience training, particularly for women navigating peri-menopause and menopause. Her work extends globally, having consulted with the United Nations on prison reform for men of Afro descent and collaborated with the HRH Duchy of Cornwall estate, offering menopause awareness days.

Nicola is deeply committed to raising mental health awareness within her local community. She hosts monthly Coffee and Chats to encourage open discussions about mental health, reduce stigma, and offer support. Her work has also gained attention through media appearances, including interviews on BBC Hereford and Worcestershire, UK Health Radio, and local and national papers where she discusses mental health issues and offers advice to a broader audience.

With a growing social media presence and a reputation for empowering women through therapy, coaching, corporate talks and training, Nicola continues to make a lasting impact on mental health and wellbeing, both locally and internationally
