Mentoring
Find your voice in the moments that matter most.
Hi, I’m Nicky.
I work with coaches, creatives, teachers, professionals and sensitive, thoughtful people who want to speak with more clarity, confidence and presence, in their work, relationships and everyday life.
Whether you’re preparing for a presentation, navigating a life transition, promoting your work, or finding your voice again after years of holding back, this work helps you speak in a way that feels grounded, connected and true to who you are.
Private coaching weaves together voice work, embodiment, creativity, and self-leadership. You’ll learn to hear your inner voice more clearly, trust it, and express it with greater ease.
We work with the voice, nervous system, emotions, breath, physical presence, mind and intuition so your voice becomes a fuller expression of the life you want to live.
It begins by reconnecting with the part of you beneath conditioning, habits, fear and old patterns. From there, you’ll develop the skills, practices and inner capacity to speak up, set boundaries, share your ideas, and show up in your work or relationships with more steadiness, courage and self-belief.
If you’re wanting support with your speaking, confidence, leadership, creative expression or personal voice, this work offers a creative space to practise, explore, grow and be heard.
"I feel more confident and self-aware"
Working with Nicky on Voice Confidence has been an amazing experience for me in more ways than one. Not only do I feel more confident and self-aware, I also feel my creativity has been unblocked and I am writing and feeling inspired again.
Nicky created a safe space for me to truly be myself, giving me the tools and courage to shine. Her warmth, humour and wisdom have been an incredible gift! My gratitude to Nicky is boundless!

This work is for you if...
You’re a coach, creative, teacher, writer, business owner or professional who needs to speak in your work, but your confidence doesn’t always match your ability.
You have meaningful work or ideas to share, but expressing them, especially in front of others can feel uncomfortable, exposing or emotionally draining.
Speaking in groups, on camera, or in front of people brings up anxiety, hesitation, or a sense that your voice disappears when you most need it.
You often hold back, saying yes when you mean no, keeping quiet to avoid conflict, or dimming your voice in situations where you want to show up more fully.
You want to feel more at ease expressing your ideas, needs and truth, whether at work, in conversations, or in more creative or public settings.
You value depth, self-awareness and personal growth, and you want support that honours your nervous system, your sensitivity and your lived experience.
"I have so much more confidence and belief in myself as a lecturer and studio leader."
Nicky helped me so much with my presenting skills. I am a university lecturer and I was struggling with my confidence and feeling overwhelmed about delivering my lectures online for the first time this year.
In my private coaching sessions with Nicky, she gave me a breathing and warm-up routine to run through before presenting. I run through this every time before I present and it helps me feel centred and confident.
Nicky went above and beyond with helping me. She listened to my lectures between sessions and gave me invaluable feedback. I have so much more confidence and belief in myself as a lecturer and studio leader now that I can really enjoy my job.

"Working with Nicky has helped me to connect more deeply with my voice and trust in my intuition."
Nicky held such a beautiful safe space where I could speak with vulnerability, allowing me to hear and feel what my voice was wanting to express. I am so deeply grateful for Nicky's online voice coaching sessions – I felt heard, inspired and held. I feel so much more confident in my own voice and speaking from a place of Truth. I highly recommend 'Voice Confidence Coaching' to anyone who feels they have something to say but their voice has been shut down.

Who is this for?
🍃 You are likely sensitive, empathetic and caring, someone who might end up taking on more than your fair share because it was hard to say 'no'.
🍃 You're also someone with great wisdom and experience. People come to you for advice and support. You have a lot to offer but might not be sure where to start when it comes to allowing your own voice to be expressed.
🍃 You might lack confidence and don't like the way you speak, or you might feel like your voice doesn't sound like you'd imagined and you want it to feel like it really belongs to you.
🍃 You often feel unable to speak in groups or in front of people. The words don't come. You don't feel heard. You can't seem to project your voice. You panic at the thought of situations that ask you to speak in public.
🍃 It can be hard to hear your truth amongst the noise, like you've lost connection with your 'real' voice inside.
🍃 You end up wasting your precious time and energy on what other people might think of you instead of trusting your own intuition and taking action on what truly matters to you.
I see you and know how hard and frustrating this can feel. I've been there and struggled to express my voice, be confident in who I truly am, and feel like I'm being heard. It's caused pain, missed opportunities and times when it would have been healthier to say 'no' instead of 'yes'.
It meant acknowledging and changing beliefs and habits that weren't helpful or protective anymore. Along with working through trauma from childhood experiences and putting others' needs before my own. It's been a journey.
However I'm truly grateful for not giving up AND for making the decision to keep moving forward with my truth and dreams. I asked for support instead of trying to do everything on my own. I've learnt to appreciate and honour my gifts, create clear, kind boundaries, and cherish what is truly sacred and joyful for me.
I learnt to speak my truth to people who mattered to me from a place of understanding and empathy instead of reacting from my own unresolved places.
It hasn't always looked like I thought it would. Some dreams I'd given up on reappeared in a different form, successes and failures each had their impact and often not in the way we think.
The journey isn't over, in fact it's just beginning as we all continue to be a work in progress. And I'm here to walk alongside you in yours.

🍃You'll have clearer boundaries and a greater understanding of your own needs
🍃You'll deep dive into uncovering any blocks and conditioning around your voice
🍃You'll feel more confident in expressing your truth, in whatever form that takes
🍃You'll have ongoing support in between sessions available via message, voice note or email
"I've worked with many other coaches but her insight and sensitivity really helped me move through my blocks and perceived obstacles."
When I started working online with Nicky she cut through a lot of my resistance. I was having a hard time doing video recordings and feeling confident in front of a camera. She patiently listened to one of my talks and by fine-tuning into my tone and my body language, she noticed where I was not connecting with myself. The few tips she gave me about this moment helped me shift out of it immediately.
She gave me a technique I use all the time. Whenever I feel my mind is going faster than my speaking voice I do that physical cue. I've now been able to slow down and pace myself during video appearances.
She also gave me a tip that helped me choose the right outfits for my photo shoot, the photographer loved all of them, I felt prepared for the shoot and could relax.
It's the little things that Nicky can cue into that makes all the difference. I've worked with many other coaches but her insight and sensitivity really helped me move through my blocks and perceived obstacles.
Susan Regan, Coach, Psychotherapist - San Francisco-California.
Why work with Nicky?
One of my gifts is seeing 'you' and I genuinely have a passion for bringing out the best in you. I also have over 35 years of combined experience acting professionally on stage, TV and film, along with over 20 years teaching yoga and meditation in the UK and Australia.
I have a BA Honours degree in Performance and Theatre Studies and 35+ years of acting, voice, yoga, meditation and personal development work.
I'm committed to deepening my own development and growth every year including voice-work, meditation, social justice, coaching best practice, embodiment and somatic training and trauma awareness.
I write and get back on stage when I feel inspired to perform and keep that spark alive. Whilst my 20+yrs of teaching yoga, meditation and voice sessions continue to inform the foundations of this work.
This is a coaching program that provides a confidential space to explore healing the core connection to your own voice, working with inquiry, storytelling techniques, self-awareness, power, empathy and presence.
I regularly receive feedback about the quality of safety and inclusivity felt in the space from individuals and group participants. It's important to me and I'm always open and willing to receive feedback and change anything that doesn't align with this value.
