Life Coaching

My sessions with Nicola have been a huge help in guiding me towards the career I would like to achieve. As a recent graduate, looking for a job has been challenging under the current circumstances. Nicola has helped me think about what it is I truly want and has made me feel motivated and excited about my future. I cannot recommend enough. More...

Working with Nicola can only be described as life changing for me. It was very hard for me to contact Nicola initially, as I have always struggled to talk and express my feelings. I was embarrassed, ashamed and scared. But since working with Nicola, I feel the opposite. She has taught me so many things I didn't realise about myself. She has made me realise how allowing yourself to feel your emotions is such an important part of healing. I would describe Nicola as a calming, gentle and loving person. I used to fear talking about my feelings, and now I enjoy it. I look forward to every session I have with Nicola, as she always makes me feel, calm, secure and safe. One of the things I love about Nicolas sessions , is her hypnosis, they have had a huge positive impact in my process to healing, and have helped me overcome so much fear and worry. I am still on my journey to self discovery, love, and care. I can only thank Nicola for helping me to start my journey and new chapter in my life. Words can't explain how grateful I am to have you as part of my life, Thank you for everything!! More...

Life Coaching

Working with Nicola has had such a positive impact on my life, relationships, and business.

I never thought I “needed” to talk to anyone, but after my first session with Nicola I was asking myself why hadn’t I done it sooner.

Not only will I continue to work with Nicola, I also now recommended my own clients to her.

I can’t recommend Nicola highly enough, book a session now you won’t regret it!

Such a positive, friendly & kind woman xxx More...

Life Coaching

I'd never heard of Bark before, but I was looking for a life coach, and did a search online and found a few coaches on Bark. I compared a few and contacted three. Nicola of Defining You really clicked with me, and when we had our free video introduction session I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. She picked up on my reasoning, emotions, and trains of thoughts so easily and really understood me - she 'got' me. We worked over Zoom - not just because of the pandemic, but because we are geographically far apart. Nicola has used a variety of techniques that have been very effective, including coaching, NLP, and hypnotherapy. Her attitude is very warm and friendly, and even when I feel a bit lost and don't know what to do, she always helps me prioritise. I'm so pleased with my progress that I've decided to continue beyond the initial difficulty I had been needing support with, and have booked ongoing sessions to help with other issues in my life.

I'm also on a very low wage and Nicola has made coaching accessible to me by offering multi-session discounts, having sessions fortnightly instead of weekly, and offering Zoom which means no transport costs. Her sessions are excellent value for money and worth every penny.

Nicola is amazing! I've had approx 5/6 sessions with her now and I have gained so much clarity and confidence in my own life and continue to do so with each session.

She goes above and beyond what I had expected in comparison with previous therapists I have worked with. Typing up extensive post-session notes which summarise the session's main points, as well as suggesting actions to carry out in daily life following each session.

She goes out of her way to be flexible and available for sessions and responds promptly and attentively to any out-of-session emails I have sent. I feel truly supported by her and I am so grateful for stumbling across her profile on Bark!
Thank you so much, Nicola! x

Life Coaching

When I first started to work with Nicola , I was so lost as a person. I had no confidence, very low self-esteem and struggled to motivate myself. All of these things were holding me back. I had been through years of different counselling and therapies and now wanted to try life coaching. I wanted to move forward not keep go over the past as I think this was holding me back. I wanted to start a new online retail business, but was struggling because of my lack of self believe . After just a few sessions with Nicola, over a matter of weeks I’m at a point where I have set a launch date for business. I have achieved so much in such a short space of time because I have started to believe in myself. I feel more confident than I ever have felt, and every day I feel motivated and driven to achieve my goals! I honestly couldn’t recommend Nicola ‘Defining you’ enough. I believe she has helped me turn my life around, and I will continue to grow as a person every day. She really listens and tailors the sessions to exactly what you need and will benefit from at that time in your life. Honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made! 🥰 More...

I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough. She has helped me focus and move forward with my life. She is very intuitive on what your needs are, managing to clear your mind of the fog.
I look forward to our weekly session, because I know after it I will feel energised and ready for whatever life throws at me.

Life Coaching

I am currently receiving business coaching from Nicola and highly rate her expertise and professionalism. What has made the experience with Nicola more effective is the deep rapport I feel with her. She ‘gets me’ and I feel that I can trust her implicitly and feel supported in whatever I raise with her. Nicola has a lovely warmth of expression and makes me feel at ease, especially during hypnosis sessions. Sessions have been a life changer for me and I hope to work with Nicola for as long as I can!!

I’ve spoken to Nicola during episodes in my life when things have felt quite overwhelming and I’ve needed help to make sense of it all. As well as offering really practical advice, she has been able to coach me to ask myself the right questions that will help me move forward through some really upsetting life circumstances. I would 100% recommend Nicola to anyone who feels a bit lost or is unsure about what help they need because she is really gifted at helping you find the clarity you need. I had tried a few other people before I found Nicola but she has been the easiest to genuinely connect with by a long stretch. She is a great listener, very intuitive and a really kind and caring authentic individual. Thankyou for having such a profound effect on my life. More...

I signed up to Bark to get a variety of coaches to see which one best suits my needs best. Good thing about Nicola was she text and emailed me, so instantly I knew that was my clue to choose her. It becomes personal when people choose to text you or call, that's a bonus. I am glad I did choose her, as she was quick at responding and we had our first complimentary call today. I am grateful for Bark for placing us together as she is a lovely and genuine person, and it was a conversation rather than an interview as sometimes asking people questions can seem to feel like. I am happy to start working with her, her prices are reasonable, and definitely recommend her to others. More...

Q&As

I love helping people to finally get Clarity and seeing the “aha” moment when everything starts to fall into place. Nothing makes me happier than hearing reports from my clients switch from everything that is wrong to all the good things that are happening. That’s pretty special.

I’ve lived a lot of life for my years and I wanted to create something I wish I could have tapped into at moments when there didn’t appear to be a clear way forward. So I retrained after having my children and invested in my own growth.

Well. The people I work with will know if I am right for them because they will likely be very intuitive like me. I’m a complete leveller, very honest and caring and want to get the right outcome for my clients so we can send each other Christmas cards ?

All my services are carried out remotely. I've always run my business this way as it gives me scope to work with people all over the world. I have clients in America, Dubai, Spain, Australia.

My business is run online so people will have their sessions from the safety of their own home.

Services

Sessions last 60 - 75 minutes and begin with a general chat to dive deeper into your current circumstances, what’s holding you back (it’s normally not the thing you think it is) and then create a plan to move forward and do the work to overcome that using NLP, hypnosis exercises, mindfulness, or coaching techniques depending on what you need. Want to know more? Book in for a complimentary 15-30 min chat first. More information in my bio and website.

Cost: £95 for individual session / £80 per session when you commit to a minimum of six sessions. Payment plans available.
