Nikki is committed to helping people explore and heal core wounds, creating space for transformation and deeper connections with themselves and others.

Nikki is particularly drawn to working with people who want to better understand themselves in the context of relationships. This includes dating and relationship difficulties, concerns relating to intimacy and sexuality, the impact of trauma, and the ways early experiences can shape how we connect with ourselves and others. She enjoys helping people recognise the patterns that can leave them feeling disconnected, stuck, or unfulfilled, and helping them build more meaningful relationships with both themselves and those around them. She pays close attention to both what is spoken and unspoken in therapy, helping people make sense of blind spots, longstanding patterns, and ways of relating that may no longer be serving them. One of the aspects of therapy Nikki finds most rewarding is witnessing a person's understanding of themselves broaden and deepen over time.

Nikki's clinical experience spans a variety of settings, including hospitals, criminal justice, government, and public mental health services. She has developed specialised skills working with trauma, emergency services personnel, and high-performing teams, having completed her doctoral research in this field. Alongside her private practice work, Nikki has held senior clinical roles within specialist trauma services and provides clinical supervision to other psychologists as they develop their own therapeutic practice.

Before becoming a psychologist, Nikki spent many years competing as an elite junior athlete. This experience gave her an appreciation for the pressures people place on themselves and the ways self-worth can become tied to performance, achievement, productivity, or success. These experiences continue to inform her work with people who struggle with perfectionism, fear of failure, and relentless self-imposed expectations.

Nikki is deeply invested in the people she works with and values the trust that develops throughout therapy. She aims to create a space where people can safely explore parts of themselves, experience a different way of relating, and gradually build the confidence to approach their lives in new ways.
