I’m Nicky, a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Melbourne, offering EAP counselling and telehealth support across Australia. I specialise in supporting employees, leaders and high achievers navigating workplace stress, anxiety, burnout, grief and loss, life transitions, carer stress and self-esteem challenges. Many of the people I work with are capable, thoughtful and used to holding a lot together. On the outside, things may look fine. Inside, you may feel exhausted, irritable, stuck, disconnected from yourself, disenchanted with work, or unsure how to keep going at the same pace. Before becoming a counsellor, I spent two decades working in high-performing corporate teams, so I understand the pressure, pace and culture that can come with demanding roles. I speak your language and can often see you in the scene you describe. My style is warm, practical and collaborative, with a focus on helping clients stabilise, gain clarity, regulate their nervous system, and identify realistic next steps within short-term EAP counselling. My work is informed by formal training in counselling, psychotherapy, coaching, yoga and meditation, as well as lived experience. Depending on your needs, our work may include counselling, coaching, mindfulness, present-moment awareness practices and practical strategies to support meaningful, sustainable change. My aim is to help you reconnect with yourself, what matters, and a way forward.
