ABOUT NICOLA

Professional insight, lived understanding

I’m a certified transformational coach, working towards my Advanced Diploma, and a qualified GP with almost 30 years’ NHS experience. I offer 1:1 transformational coaching — in person locally or remotely via Zoom — as well as wellbeing workshops for groups.

"With over 25 years' experience as a GP, alongside training as a transformational coach, I bring both professional insight and lived understanding to conversations about stress, identity, change, and what it means to find your way again."

I’ve personally experienced burnout and career transition, so I bring both professional and lived experience to my work. My style is compassionate, person-centred and non-directive — creating a safe space where you can think clearly, reconnect with yourself, and find your own way forward.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops for Doctors & Healthcare Teams

Creating space to reflect, reconnect and think differently.

Healthcare professionals spend much of their working lives responding to the needs of others.

My workshops create space to step away from the day-to-day pressures of clinical work and turn some of that attention back towards ourselves.

Sessions are reflective and interactive, drawing on coaching psychology alongside my experience of almost 30 years working within the NHS.

The focus is not on asking people to become more resilient, or adding yet more to the list of what we “should” be doing. Instead, it’s about creating space to pause, reflect and understand ourselves a little better – and to consider what might help us work in ways that feel more sustainable.

Workshop investment

Bespoke sessions, 90-minute, half-day or full-day workshops are available.

Workshops can be tailored for GP practices, training groups and other healthcare professionals or organisations.

Individual coaching can also be offered alongside workshops where organisations would like to provide confidential support and development for their doctors, or other staff.

I honestly would describe my coaching experience as transformational. Nicola supported me through what unexpectedly turned out to be a crossroads in my career! She helped me identify my values and in turn find my voice. Nicola is approachable, organised, warm and empathetic and I really valued her lived experience as a previous GP partner. I highly recommend!

Working with Nicola was a really valuable experience. She was open, honest and nonjudgmental in her approach. She helped me view things from a different perspective by reflecting on my thought processes and challenging them if appropriate . She encouraged me to reflect not only on the positive moments but also on the obstacles I’d faced, and how I had overcome them. Our conversations gave me much-needed clarity and direction moving forward. I would highly recommend her especially in you are reaching a crossroads and are feeling overwhelmed

Working with Nicola has been a really positive experience. I came into coaching feeling a bit unsure about where I was headed and just needed some help getting unstuck. Nicola has a great way of listening, asking thoughtful questions and helping me to appreciate the present rather than worrying about the future. Nicola is not only fantastic at listening but also really helped me to clarify my thoughts and goals. I’d definitely recommend Nicola to anyone looking for a supportive and practical approach to personal growth.

Nicola recently led a session with our GP trainers group. She had clearly thought about what she wanted to deliver (despite very vague guidance from us) and facilitated an excellent session.  She was professional and personable and made the sessions relevant for us all. Nicola was able to provide us with clear guidance and facilitated thoughtful, useful discussions.

Attending Nicola's values and strengths workshop was one of the most insightful and transformative experiences I have had in recent years. At a time when I find myself at a crossroads in my career, the session provided a valuable opportunity for deep self-reflection and helped me reconnect with the core values and strengths that truly matter to me. Nicola created a safe and supportive environment that encouraged honest reflection and meaningful discussion. The experience was emotional at times, but ultimately empowering. I left with greater self-awareness, a clearer understanding of my inner strengths, and practical tools to build emotional resilience and navigate future challenges with confidence. I am incredibly grateful to Nicola for facilitating such a thought-provoking and impactful workshop. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for educational events, conferences, PLTs, leadership programmes, and professional development workshops. Her ability to help individuals gain clarity, perspective, and renewed purpose is truly exceptional.

I really appreciated Nicola’s coaching workshop for GPs at Douneside House Hotel. It provided a valuable opportunity to step back from the demands of general practice, reflect on the challenges we face and gain a better understanding of our individual strengths and weaknesses. I particularly valued the chance to consider how we can build on what we do well while recognising areas where we might benefit from further development or support. Nicola was an excellent presenter—clear, engaging and thoughtful in her approach. She brought warmth and understanding to the session, creating an atmosphere where it felt comfortable to talk openly and explore different perspectives. I would warmly recommend her coaching, especially to other GPs looking for time and space to reflect on their work and personal development.

Nicola recently presented at our annual GP Residential Course. An excellent session which provoked a lot of meaningful discussion. Nicola was very professional and the session was very well planned. The topics allowed for a lot of reflection both individually and as a group. Nicola used relevant examples to highlight her learning points throughout. Nicola is very approachable and easy to talk to. The session was excellent! Thank you Nicola.
