Every child is individual
There are no off-the-shelf programmes here. I shape each one around your child's personality, needs and interests.
Understanding children in the context of their whole world
Therapy works best when it fits real life. My background in the classroom means I see the whole child — at school, at home and with family.

25+years working alongside children
My story
Hello, I'm Nicole
For more than 25 years, my working life has been spent alongside children — in classrooms, in Montessori settings and in specialist SEND support. I've seen first-hand how much a child's wellbeing shapes everything else: their learning, their friendships and how they feel about themselves.
Along the way I trained as an NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist, and I founded Nicomelia Therapy to bring those two worlds together. Because I know how schools work and what family life asks of children, I can understand a child's difficulties not just therapeutically, but within the real context of their day-to-day life.
I've worked one-to-one with children facing a wide range of needs, including ADHD, autism, anxiety, behavioural challenges, low confidence and communication difficulties. No two children are the same, and no two approaches should be either — every programme I build is tailored to the individual in front of me.

My background
Experience that goes beyond the therapy room
Each stage of my career has shaped how I work with children today — from understanding how children learn, to supporting those who need something a little different.
-
Education
Years in schools taught me how classrooms feel from a child's point of view, and how pressures at school can spill over into home life.
-
Montessori settings
Montessori's child-led approach shaped my belief in following each child's lead, respecting their pace and building independence.
-
SEND support
Specialist one-to-one work with children with special educational needs, including ADHD, autism and communication difficulties.
-
NLP Practitioner & Hypnotherapist
Qualifying in NLP and hypnotherapy gave me powerful, gentle tools to help children change how they think, feel and respond.

Nicomelia Therapy
Founded to bring it all together — an educator's understanding and a therapist's toolkit, tailored to each child.
What guides my work
The beliefs behind every session
Strengths first
Every child has strengths. Helping them recognise their own is often the first step towards real, lasting confidence.
The whole child
School, home and family life are all connected. I look at the full picture, not just the difficulty in front of us.
Skills for life
The aim is always independence — practical tools your child can keep using well beyond our work together.
No two children are the same, and no two approaches should be either.
