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. ✨

This festive season, I hope you find the time to step aside from any overwhelm, expectations and gently settle into the quiet honesty of winter. Rather than forcing cheerfulness or recreating picture-perfect traditions, simply slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the season on your own terms.

Thank you all for sharing time with me this year… I look forward to continuing your journey with you in 2026.

Merry Christmas!

“Not everything that comes back for Christmas is meant to stay.” 🎄

This time of year can soften our boundaries, especially for those with anxious attachment. Old connections can feel comforting, even when the ghost of Christmas past says otherwise.

Nostalgia isn’t the same as safety.
And intensity isn’t intimacy.

This season, let green flags like consistency, calm, and emotional availability guide your choices.

Your nervous system deserves calm this season too ✨

Thought I’d share a few pics from our team festive day out. We opted for something a little different with a trip back in time at Mary Kings Close in Edinburgh ❄️

Also… just a little reminder about upcoming leave in December. We will be taking a two week break over the festive period to spend time with family, friends and recharge our batteries ready to step into 2026 with you.

I personally will be on leave from 20 Dec and back in clinic from Monday 5 Jan. My diary is fully booked for December and January is already filling up, so don’t forget to book in now for 2026 to avoid disappointment.

Steve has decided to open a few limited appointments between Christmas and New Year for men’s coaching. These are available in person or online.

If you would like to book therapy with myself or men’s coaching with Steve, drop our practice manager Jade an email (booktherapyinthecity@gmail.com) and she can get you booked in. She will be monitoring emails over the break but not daily, so touch base now or before 20th December to ensure you get booked in for the start of the year. 🙏🏻

…and I’m not talking about the “collapsing on the sofa because you’ve done too much” kind of slowing down.

I mean the kind that feels like wrapping your hands around a warm mug, exhaling, and letting your whole nervous system soften.

These quiet moments matter.
Taking time to pause and reconnect with your inner landscape helps reduce stress, release expectations, and come back home to yourself.

This is exactly the feeling behind our new winter guide So This Is Christmas? and why we chose to launch our new My Therapy in the City platform in this season. It’s a gentle, therapeutic space created especially for those who don’t want to sprint into the festive season pretending everything’s fine.

So… if you’re craving a calmer December, softer rituals, grounding, and a season that actually holds you, not drains you… we think yule love it.

Inside you’ll find:
• 6 softly written therapeutic chapters
• Winter reflections and soothing rituals
• Actionable steps that don’t overwhelm
• 6 calming hypnotherapy audios
• A beautiful PDF you can return to again and again

All for £37, ready to start today.

If December feels heavy, noisy, or “too much” or you simply want to do the season your way this guide was created for you.

✨To the women ready to awaken their wild, untamed selves… know you are everything you will ever need.✨

You are courage, strength and compassion.
The person you are searching for is already within you, you just need to reconnect with her.

A few weeks ago I stood on the cliffs of Neist Point on the Isle of Skye and the wind was blowing a hoolie. I felt the power of being fully in my body, fully myself as that wild wind wrapped itself around me.

When I saw the photo today, it reminded me that for you to build an empowered self-relationship, it is to meet yourself in every season… to find the thing that grounds you, the space, the place to hold your emotions not silence them. To remember your softness is not weakness and your wildness is your truth.

It is to remember her…
…the one who feels deeply, moves freely and trusts her inner voice again.

This is the work. This is the way!

I feel deeply privileged to hold this space with women, supporting them through psychotherapy, expressive art and somatic hypnosis as they release old patterns, heal attachment wounds and awaken the wild, authentic selves that they have always carried.

✨Take a moment this weekend to connect with your untamed self.

🤍 THERAPIST LIFE - As you know Steve and I were out of office last week and this is why… we eloped to the beautiful Isle of Skye and exactly a week ago today we said our vows on the beach between the rocks, witnessed by the ocean.

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes… we’re back to work now and look forward to seeing you all in your sessions.

Do you know why weight isn’t just about food?

Many women blame themselves for struggling with their weight, chastising themselves for having no willpower or discipline… but often, the root of our weight struggle is deeper than that… it’s really about the weight of our relationships.

💔 Growing up with criticism or neglect
💔 Partners who make you feel “too much” or
“not enough”
💔 People-pleasing, perfectionism, and
abandoning your own needs

These patterns keep us in survival mode…stressed and disconnected from our bodies, holding onto weight as protection and at times self punishment.

That’s why diets, restriction, and more recently medicated weight loss rarely work long term. The real struggle isn’t what you eat… it’s how you feel or rather what you’re trying to avoid feeling!

🌺 Here’s a simple action to start today:

Take 2–3 minutes to breathe, notice where tension sits in your body, and gently ask: “What am I holding here?”

💬 Comment below with a ❤️ if you’re going to try this check-in today.

So here’s the thing, success doesn’t always bring calm!

Many of the women I work with who are high-achievers…are brilliant, resilient, driven but deeply exhausted. Leading them to feeling emotionally distant, disconnected, and unsure who they really are beneath their success.

The misconception of therapy is that it’s just about fixing what’s broken but in essence, therapy helps you to clear the rumble from the path so you can come back home to yourself… your true authentic self that is layered underneath the expectations, wants and at times toxicity of others.

You may be running on autopilot, constantly analyzing yourself, struggling to rest, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed by others’ needs.

It’s not because you’re broken, it’s likely because you’ve learned to survive this way.

Therapy isn’t just about unpacking the past. It’s about helping you feel safe, whole, and truly you - in a way you’ve never experienced before.

If this resonates and you’re tired of pushing through alone, let’s talk about what support could look like.

You don’t have to carry this on your own. 💬

‘Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.’

For those that know me, I am a listener of stories... for almost 18 years I have been working with the subconscious to empower my clients to truly flow with their life, trust in themselves and release trauma.

I learned that it can take time to overcome our negative life scripts. Little steps of reconnection everyday can help to build self reliance and a sense of inner trust and understanding. . . but I also realised that to help people truly learn to flow, not force, to find the freedom and happiness in letting themselves go with the natural and authentic flow of their life and fully release trauma and blocks in the body I needed to embrace somatic healing within my work.

Flow is not about being passive, it is an innate force and the essence of who we are. So I’m currently working on combining my expressive art therapy, breathwork and hypnosis to offer you a number of day workshops and weekend retreats that will help you to connect with your authentic self.

Over the next few months I’ll be sharing more posts about these courses, launch details and how to book.

For now I’d love to know if this is something you would be interested in. So please feel free to answer the poll below 🙏🏻
