1. Space – you need space to be able to start to see, feel, express and understand your experiences.
2. Safety – your nervous system needs to feel safe to allow you to go on your healing journey.
I provide both of these things for you…
Giving you the 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 space and safety and then…
You will find that space and safety within you…
As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) & Empath myself, it is my passion to support the emotional wellbeing of deeply empathic women.
I have been described as my clients ‘Healing BFF’, a place where they feel safe to put down their burdens.
A carers counsellor if you will, as you care for others, I care for you…
You deserve to be looked after and supported too…
Hi I am your guide Nicole Ivens…
I have been working in the holistic health space for the past seven years, with a focus on emotional wellbeing.
My motto is: “To heal is to feel safe”
My number 1 intention for you is to feel safe, because I know when your nervous system feels safe, it will start to open up and allow you to release burdens and stuck energy.
Developing and connecting to your own individual beliefs and ideas of spirituality.
My role is to support you in strengthening your connection to your higher power…
An individualised plan to support you on your healing path, this is where traditional therapy and alternative healing therapy combine.
I provide a safe space for you to talk through your experiences and bring in EFT Tapping at times where I feel it is needed or you make a choice for yourself.
Self-empowerment I believe is one of the most important parts of your healing journey and time with me.
I prioritise providing you with deep wisdom, learning and education that is going to support you for many years to come.
Together we will fill up your self-care kit with strategies that will support your overall wellbeing.
The most important aspect of any healing journey is safety!
Your nervous system needs to feel safe before it will allow you to start your healing process.
Feeling understood and validated, opens the door for you to understand more about yourself.
Your life then becomes easier, as you move into a state of flow.
Your energy is designed to flow freely through your mind, body and soul.
Unprocessed emotions cause energy blockages that take you out of the natural flow of life.
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 🙂

Setting an intention is a vital part of the process, it is important to be clear about what you would like to achieve, process, heal and release in our time together.
The intention setting process also serves as notice to your nervous system that we are about to go to work.
Your nervous system likes a warming up period and this serves to ensure it is ready to come along for the ride.
Your story is unique to you and no two people will ever have the same experience.
This is another vital part of the puzzle in your healing journey and your time in my world.
I provide you with a safe space to start to unpack your story aka your individual experiences.
This will help you to understand yourself on a deeper level and gain clarity about your experiences.
Through your story telling: Events, experiences and unprocessed emotions are going to reveal themselves.
Your subconscious mind is going to spoon feed little bits to us, like a green flag to go ahead and heal and release.
Your nervous system always sets the pace and we only heal as quickly or as slowly as it dictates.
You are always safe with me as a trauma aware and informed therapist.
I feel it is paramount that you become self-aware of your needs, nuances and signs of burnout.
That is why I ensure that through our time together, I am constantly teaching you strategies, that I know will support you.
I feel that education and empowerment go hand-in-hand, the more you learn, the more self-empowered you become.
My approach incorporates mind, body and soul. Each part of you working together like a symphony, singing your unique song.
Providing support that opens the door to your healing journey. By holding space for you to feel heard, seen and understood.
All sessions are held virtually from the comfort of your very own safe zone. Feeling safe is the first step on any healing journey.
As a highly qualified and experienced therapist I bring you a wealth of knowledge and support in mind, body and soul.
Nicole is fantastic at what she does.
If you are burnt out and want to work with someone who can create a safe space for you to heal, feel lighter, and find peace.
Then you must work with her.
Not only does she have the right qualifications, but she also has the life experience, passion and dedication to match.

Holistic Counselling is an approach that incorporates mind, body and soul.
I believe seeing you as a whole being is so important to your overall healing.
My approach allows me to support you on all levels.
My approach incorporates holistic counselling, energy healing (EFT-tapping) and angel guidance.
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and also referred to as Tapping.
We tap on the face and upper body with two fingers.
Think of acupuncture without the needles.
EFT- Tapping helps you to release energetic imprint of past experiences.
Giving you the freedom to move forward without the weight of what you have experienced in your life.
A quote I love from Dr Joe Dispenza that sums it up perfectly:
“A Memory without the Emotional Charge is called Wisdom”
Feeling nervous before your first session is absolutely normal, this is a new avenue for you and this will bring up feelings of nervousness.
The great benefit of EFT Tapping (Energy Healing) is we can work on that feeling of nervousness first before delving into anything deeper.
I offer you a safe space to feel calm as you start to uncover what you have been experiencing.
In all the services I provide they are designed for beginners right through to advanced knowledge of EFT.
I utilise what I call Follow the leader:
I will lead you through the EFT process, no need to remember the tapping points or even the words.
You will be given a hand out with the tapping points though for future reference.
My approach is to be a bridge between traditional therapy and alternative therapies. To describe my approach in two small words:
“Feel Heard”
I offer a safe space for you to start to uncover what has been causing the challenges you are experiencing in the following areas:
I am located on the Gold Coast, Queensland Australia
My timezone is AEST
No. All sessions are held online from the comfort of your home.
Yes absolutely! I have many clients Nationally & Internationally.
The secure online video platform I use is Zoom and it allows me to support you from the comfort of your home.
The feedback I have received from clients is that they have felt online sessions are just as effective if not more so.
The great thing about online sessions is they are from your comfort zone, which allows you to already feel safe and comfortable.
Removing any barriers that may have stopped you from reaching out for support.
This is a great question and is very individual and depending on your personal experiences.
Your nervous system safety is of the utmost importance and to allow you to feel and stay safe whilst healing multiple sessions are paramount.
Your nervous system and subconscious mind needs time and space to feel safe to open up and share with us what needs healing.
I recommend starting with a minimum of 4 sessions, in your initial counselling session together we will chart an individualised path for your healing journey.
24 hours notice for cancellation of your appointment. Cancelling your appointment with less than 24 hours till your scheduled appointment will incur the full session fee.
