My Motto is: To Heal is to Feel Safe...
From my heart to yours I want to share with you a couple of things that I know are essential and vital to any healing journey and therapeutic relationship...
💜Time – you need to gift yourself time, time that is dedicated just to you.
💜 Space – you need space to be able to start to see, feel, express and understand your experiences.
💜 Safety – your nervous system needs to feel safe to allow you to go on your healing journey.
I provide all of these things for you…
Giving you the dedicated time and space to start to explore and be very honest about what you have experienced, your feelings and emotions.
Helping you to feel safe to go on your healing journey, to go into those places within you that need healing.
As part of the process of my work using EFT Tapping, I feel something miraculous happens…
In the beginning I provide you with time, space and safety and then…
You will find that dedicated time, space and safety within you…
I Walk Alongside You on Your Healing Journey
Your nervous system sets the pace!
The most important part of any healing journey is feeling safe.
Your nervous system needs to experience safety and support before it can begin to gently release what it has been carrying.
Together, we honour your own pace, creating the space for healing to unfold naturally.
Your experience will be validated!
Feeling seen, heard and truly understood can be a deeply healing experience.
When your emotions and experiences are validated, you can begin to understand yourself with greater compassion and kindness.
From this place of self-awareness, you can reconnect with yourself and move towards greater ease and flow.
Connection is your path to freedom!
Healing happens through connection; connection with yourself, your emotions, your body and your inner wisdom.
When emotions that have been held onto are gently acknowledged and processed, you can begin to restore balance and allow your energy to flow more freely.
This creates space for greater peace, authenticity and freedom in your life.
Reflections From The Healing Journey
"I felt she had a great supportive yet gentle presence"
I felt completely safe during my first session with her, and super grateful for her ability to hold space and guide me through the session. Would highly recommend her as a therapist 🙂

The Four Foundations of Healing
Every person's journey is unique...
No matter what has brought you here or where you find yourself today, there are four foundations that gently guide the work we do together. They provide a compassionate framework that supports healing, growth, and a deeper connection with yourself.
1. Intention
2. Story
3. Heal
4. Empowerment
1. Set an intention
Setting an intention is a meaningful first step in our work together.
It allows us to become clear about what you would like to explore, process, heal and release during our time together.
Intention setting also gently signals to your nervous system that we are creating a safe space for healing. Your nervous system appreciates time to prepare, allowing us to begin our work together with awareness and compassion.
2. Share Your Story
Your story is unique to you. No two people will ever have the same experiences, emotions or journey.
Together, we create a safe and supportive space where you can begin to gently unpack your story and explore the experiences that have shaped you.
Through this process, you can gain deeper understanding, clarity and compassion for yourself.
3. Heal & Release Held Emotions
As you begin sharing your story, experiences, emotions and patterns may naturally come forward to be explored.
Your subconscious mind often reveals what is ready to be acknowledged and healed, little by little, when you feel safe enough to do so.
Your nervous system always sets the pace. We honour your journey by moving at the speed that feels right for you.
As a trauma-aware and informed therapist, creating safety and trust is at the heart of our work together.
4. Educate & Empower
Healing is also about understanding yourself on a deeper level.
Throughout our time together, I share practical tools, insights and self-care strategies to help you recognise your needs, understand your patterns and notice the signs of overwhelm and burnout.
I believe education and empowerment go hand-in-hand. The more you understand yourself, the more confidence and self-trust you can build.

Welcome, I'm Nicole
Hi, I'm Nicole Ivens
Holistic Counsellor, Certified Clinical EFT Practitioner and Spiritual Teacher
As a deeply empathic woman myself, I understand the importance of having dedicated time and space where you feel safe in mind, body and soul.
Feeling safe within yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
When your body and nervous system experience safety, both internally and externally, they naturally begin to soften, settle, and create the conditions for healing.
It would be an honour to offer you that time and space as we walk alongside your healing journey together.
