Our Service Values
Nicole has intentionally built her skills and practice around the vital role that gender identification plays in trauma. For women, trauma symptoms are often pervasive, long lasting and experienced throughout their lives. Trauma and stress can stem from childhood emotional and physical abuse, birth trauma, parenting, sexual violence, gender-based violence and discrimination, dissociation, body image, health conditions and carer roles.
Nicole acknowledges that for many women impacted by trauma and stress the path to wholeness can feel complicated, frightening and overwhelming. People can also form maladaptive behaviours and beliefs about themselves that they are fundamentally flawed, wrong and not worthy.
With her thorough knowledge of the psychology and physiology of complex PTSD and the bodies stress response. A key part of Nicole’s practice is to educate her clients on the type of symptoms and behaviours associated with traumatic stress so women feel empowered to make informed choices and navigate a clear path forward that is right for them.
Nicole has consciously created a practice that serves as a safe container for women to feel worthy that their experiences will be heard, honoured and understood.
