Nicole Everingham - Relationships, Life, Wellbeing — Counsellor in Brighton, England

Nicole’s coaching support enabled me to feel more at peace in my life. She helped me uncover what was blocking me and allowed me to view my situation from a fresh perspective. I felt very at ease and connected to her right from the start. Her session summaries were super helpful and I left the process feeling very equipped with tools and insights to keep going with what I had learnt in our sessions. Nicole held the space for me in a very compassionate and empathetic way. I would recommend her to others seeking out this type of support.

I saw Nicole both as an individual and with my partner to talk about relationship issues. I found the sessions so helpful, they are practical and solution focused whilst also allowing space for emotions and healing. Nicole is very insightful and perceptive and will actively help you to unpick anything you are finding challenging, this is not a passive listening style of support. The summary email Nicole sends in between sessions is extremely high quality, giving you reflections, prompts and things to try out as 'homework'. The main things I got out of coaching was clarity of thought and ongoing tools to apply in my relationship. On top of this, Nicole has a lovely warm and kind energy and is easy to open up to. I am very grateful for Nicole's support.

It is very rare for me to write a review, but in this case, it is the least I can do to show my appreciation for the incredible positive changes that I achieved choosing Nicole . Having faced a simultaneous wave of major life stressors—including the loss of a parent, retirement, selling my business, a divorce and navigating an amazing new relationship —the resulting anxiety became overwhelming. After spending too long researching and interviewing quite a few different professionals, the choice was very clear: Nicole. It’s difficult to say why exactly , but she made me feel comfortable and our conversation flowed , without feeling rushed or anxious , I quickly realised her suitability was spot on, at last I could start my scary journey with someone I respected and liked . Her impact was instant and I felt a deep sense of confidence in her ability to help me navigate this tough period in my life. I was comfortable opening up and I was quickly armed by Nicole with some effective practical tools , specifically to manage and reduce my panic attacks and negative thought looping habit. Nicole helped me prioritise my life and address some underlying issues that I hadn't realised were there, such as unresolved grief , anger and some insecurities in my new relationship . I started to look forward to our sessions. Her lovely , caring professional manner made things comfortable for me to discuss, sometimes with tears, sometimes with humour and laughter . Her written follow-up reports are invaluable, providing a reminder of our sessions and a roadmap for my progress. My mood has now shifted entirely . I’ve regained the confidence and focus to handle difficult challenges, now with ease and minimal stress. My new relationship is flourishing and I can honestly say I am more relaxed, confident and happy again. Nicole is so effective that I reached my agreed goals quicker than expected; however, I value her ability to bring clarity to my world so much so , that I will continue to work with her for as long as she will have me .

After watch MAFS & Celebs go Dating (yes I know!) I started to consider my own fears with dating & relationships. I wanted to investigate this more but knew I needed more than chats with friends to move forward in a way I haven't before. I found Nicole & I'm so thankful that I did. After emailing her we set up an informal phone call to have a little chat about me & what I was looking for with the sessions & to find out more about what Nicole does. The call was so easy & I knew I had found someone I would be about to talk openly with. Nicole listened and worked out the best way for me to open up & be able to grow as I learnt & discovered more about myself. Nicole gave practical support & incredibly helpful worksheets so that I could continue progressing in between our sessions. There was never any pressure, or judgement!, when I didn't do everything on my own to do list. That's so important when you give yourself a hard enough time as it is! I learnt so much, & looking back I can see the steps and improvements Nicole helped me achieve. I'm currently not having sessions (which I miss!) but I know that I can contact her to book in again if & when I feel the need to. Highly recommend.

Nicole is open, friendly and easy to talk to. Throughout my sessions, Nicole has listened and has given me some invaluable tools to help me navigate dating patterns, relationships and my negative self-belief. I feel much more positive moving forward into this year knowing I have resources to guide me.

I enjoyed my regular sessions with Nicole. She provided a safe and confidential space for me to open up and be myself. I fully recommend if you are looking for encouragement, support and an amazing listener in your life.

Nicole has been nothing but amazing and caring from the get go! We’ve only had a couple of sessions so far but the way she phrases questions and the tasks she gives you (very quickly after the session) are fantastic! I used to coach as well so I have very high expectations and Nicole met them all :) I’m so excited for this journey together and I know the outcomes will only be great! One of the greatest things is also that no matter how bad you think some of your behaviours are - she won’t judge you. Just gently help you through it so don’t be scared to share your worst sides as well! Thank you Nicole! ♥️ UPDATE: It’s been nearly 6 months now and my life has turned around completely! I’ve achieved most of my goals and can now more than ever recommend working with her. It really will be the help & push you need in life 🥹

Nicole has been a fantastic coach and I benefit so much from her sessions. I felt at ease from the very first contact to the last and that surely helped me approaching coaching in the first place. Months ago, I felt I needed some guidance, someone who could help me finding once again the direction and purpose I thought I had lost or I could not see. Through her sessions, Nicole supported me in reframing my core values and, from there, we worked on setting some powerful mantras which helped me grounding and refocusing when needed. Her approach has been very welcoming and supportive and that made the whole journey way easier and enjoyable. Thank you very much Nicole.

Nicole has been instrumental in helping me and my partner find ways to communicate effectively, appreciate eachother again and reach compromises that neither of us thought were possible. We were very much at a crossroads before our sessions with Nicole, but with guidance, patience, and a wealth of knowledge we are very much on the right track. Relationships are hard, but Nicole has helped us to accept the good and the bad and to show up for eachother. When we have miscommunication or arguments, we are now able to rationally explain our thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement and find common ground - this has been huge for us as prior to seeing Nicole we just couldn't agree and were in a vicious circle, with neither party compromising! Thank you Nicole, we are back as a family of 4 and very happy together ❤️

Nicole has helped me massively through various life transitions, particularly around an avoidant attachment style, building confidence and leaning into my values. I still use the tools I learnt through Nicole to support me make positive changes in my life and remind myself of my values and what's important to me. Nicole is a warm and positive presence who kept me accountable and focused to make the changes that were important to me. I think its difficult to find a good coach in todays world, where it seems everyone is wearing that hat, but Nicole is brilliant and I would highly recommend.
