Steve and I have just come back from our first couple’s yoga session together with the fabulous Kaye Holistic Essences and I have to say… I feel so much more relaxed, open and grounded than I did a few hours ago. 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️

I’d like to think these sessions might help me become a little more flexible, but starting yoga is about so much more than that for me.

I feel like I’ve reached a point where I want to invest more intentionally in my mind and body health, while also creating dedicated time for us as a couple.

It’s important to pursue our own goals, but it’s equally important to make space for experiences that nurture us together and support our relationship.

Life can become busy… work, responsibilities, routines and endless to-do lists can quietly take over if we’re not paying attention.

As a therapist, I spend a lot of time talking about the importance of looking after our emotional wellbeing, but our bodies need that same care and attention too.

I think many of us wait until we’re feeling stressed, disconnected or depleted before we give ourselves permission to prioritise our wellbeing… but perhaps self-care isn’t always about fixing something.

Sometimes it’s about nurturing something before it needs to be fixed.

For me, this feels like an opportunity to slow down, move my body differently, quiet my mind and spend quality time with my husband.

I’m looking forward to seeing where it takes us.

But for tonight… my mind feels a little quieter and my body a little lighter because of it. 🌿

A small moment from this week… 🌿

One of my clients who is returning home to Greece brought me a card and these two packs of Greek olives as a goodbye gift, we laughed at them being the Greek equivalent of giving someone chocolate. I loved that and thought it was such a lovely sentiment.

One of the things I value most about this work is the quiet human moments that exist within it… the trust, connection and shared flow that can develop when someone feels truly seen.

None of us can avoid endings, especially in the therapy room and I will miss my sessions with this client. There’s something very meaningful about being invited to walk alongside people through different chapters of their lives, no matter how long or brief that may be.

…olives have a little extra meaning for me now. 🫒

Sometimes burnout doesn’t look dramatic…
it looks like quietly continuing on long after you’ve run out of energy.

Truthfully, I think many women move through life carrying far more than they realise. Not always in obvious ways… often in the quieter moments beneath the surface of everyday life.

Always being the emotionally responsible one.
Always anticipating everyone else’s needs.
Feeling guilty for resting.
Struggling to relax.
Trying to stay productive.
Holding emotions in.

Continuing to move forward even when part of them feels exhausted.

The ones who rarely allow themselves to fully unravel because somewhere along the way, they learned they had to hold it all together.

After a while, the nervous system can begin to forget what safety and stillness even feel like… becoming so used to survival mode that rest itself starts to feel unfamiliar, even uncomfortable.

I’ve noticed this in myself at times in my life too.
That pull to keep going rather than pause.
To carry more than I need to.

But healing isn’t always found in pushing harder.

Sometimes it begins in the softer moments…
allowing yourself to slow down, breathe, rest and put some of the weight down for a while.

Not because you’re giving up… but because you were never meant to carry everything alone. 🌿

I’m so excited to finally share something I’ve been quietly creating… 🌿

WildWoven is a full day creative retreat for women who are longing to slow down, reconnect with themselves and step away from the constant pressure of everyday life.

Something I notice often in women is not that they’ve completely lost themselves… but that parts of them have become silent over time.

Beneath responsibilities.
Expectations.
Caring for others.
The pace of modern life.

And after a while, it can become difficult to hear yourself underneath all the noise.

WildWoven was created as a gentle space to reconnect with those quieter parts again.

Through expressive arts, storytelling, movement, primitive weaving, reflective writing and guided group hypnosis, the day invites you to slow down enough to listen inwardly again.

Not to become someone new… but to reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been quiet for a while.

This is not about making perfect art or having profound breakthroughs.

It’s about creating space to breathe again.

To feel.

To reflect.

To create without pressure or expectation.

A space where expression matters far more than artistic skill.

“Our painful experiences aren’t a liability… they’re a gift.
They give us perspective and meaning, an opportunity to find our unique purpose and our strength.” - Edith Eger

Today feels like a moment to pause and reflect on the life of a truly remarkable and inspiring woman.

Her book The Choice came into my life at a time when I needed it most.

It didn’t just give me understanding... it gave me a way to begin again.

It helped me see that even in the most painful experiences, there can still be space for choice.
Not in what happened, but in how we gently begin to move forward from it.

Her words stayed with me, and in many ways have shaped how I sit with others in the therapy room today.

It’s a book I’ve often found myself returning to, and one I’ve shared with many of my clients over the years.

Most of all, it’s a quiet reminder that healing is possible, even after the hardest of chapters.

Today she leaves a gentle, powerful legacy…
thank you for what you gave to the world. 🌿

A little reminder that arrived with my skincare order from Sonsie today…

“I celebrate growth, not perfection.”

Such a simple message, but one perhaps that so many of us need to hear.

It’s easy to fall into the pressure of needing to have it all together... to be doing things “right”, to be further along, to feel better than we do.

I often see in the therapy room how the pressure to be “perfect” can show up for my clients, especially when there’s a deeper fear of not being enough, of being judged, or of getting things wrong.

But growth and acceptance don’t look like perfection.
They look like small shifts, gentle progress, and learning to stay with yourself even when things feel uncertain.

We don’t need to be perfect…
we just need to meet ourselves where we are, knowing our “best” will shift from one moment to the next.

And maybe that’s enough... to be yourself, just as you are. 🌿

We’re not meant to hold the weight of the whole world all at once… and yet sometimes it can feel like we are.

There’s a lot happening in the world right now, and many people have been feeling a little more unsettled…
this quiet kind of overwhelm, like our nervous system is holding more than it knows what to do with.

I notice this in myself at times too, perhaps more so these past few months.

And in those moments, I’ve learned I don’t always need to figure anything out. I just need something that meets me where I am.

For me… it’s often music.

A song that holds the feeling I can’t quite put into words. Something that lets me feel, without needing to explain.

Sometimes it releases frustration.
Sometimes it expresses sadness.
Sometimes it just helps me feel a little less alone in it.

There’s something powerful about letting yourself sit with a piece of music… the way it can gently shift emotion, or lift your mood, without needing to do anything else.

Just listening.
Just feeling.
And allowing your body to settle, even just a little.

Maybe there’s a piece of music waiting to meet you there too. 🌿

At Therapy in the City, we make space for what has long gone unspoken.

I’m Nicole.
Hypno-Psychotherapist.
Founder of Therapy in the City.

A listener of stories.
A weaver of inner worlds.

Alongside me is my husband Steve, who works as a Men’s Aliveness Coach, supporting clients in their own process of growth and self-understanding.

My sister Jade is our Practice Manager… the steady presence behind the scenes.

This page is a space for noticing.
For the patterns we carry.
For the inner conversations that often go unheard.

Here, I share reflections from inside the therapy room,
observations, themes and glimpses into this work.

If you follow, you’ll find perspective… not quick fixes.
Depth… not generic advice.

And if this work resonates, there are 1:1 sessions, courses, and retreats to explore.

We are an independent private practice.
Built on trust.
Rooted in presence.
Committed to the depth this work asks of both therapist/coach and client.

As it is to hold silence, my 2026 began quietly.

Not with resolutions.
Not with fixes...but with noticing.

Noticing the patterns we carry.
The moments we’ve missed.
The connections waiting to be seen.
The roles we learned to play.
The ways we learned to leave ourselves in order to belong.

Therapy is not about becoming someone new.
It is a space to meet the parts of you that were never fully seen.

This year, Therapy in the City will be a space for stories and reflections… glimpses into the mind of a therapist,
and the inner worlds of the people I work with.

Because something powerful happens
when someone is truly understood.

I am a listener of stories.
A weaver of inner worlds.

I’ve learned that what lives beneath the surface is rarely random. Often, what looks like chaos is simply something waiting to be understood.

The inner world always speaks.
Most people have just never truly felt listened to.

If you are here, you are part of the story now... Welcome. ✨
