Discover your true self
Transformational IFS Coaching
Hello & welcome
I’m Nicola, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Life can feel so overwhelming sometimes—like you’re being pulled in different directions by many conflicting parts of yourself. Maybe one part of you is ready to move forward, but another feels stuck or scared. Or perhaps there’s an inner voice holding you back, telling you that you’re not enough.
If this resonates with you, I want you to know that you’re not alone.
Through my work with Internal Family Systems (IFS) - I can help you reconnect with your inner self, heal old wounds, and find clarity around where you want to be.
Together, we’ll work toward a life that feels authentic, balanced, and deeply aligned with who you truly are.
A little about me
My journey with Internal Family Systems began with my own therapy.
I first heard about IFS when the founder, Richard Schwartz, was interviewed on a podcast I followed. It took me a few years before I actually decided to initiate the therapy but I became more and more curious as I started to hear more about it. Well, thank goodness I finally followed up on my instinct because it was and continues to be completely life-changing for me, and I now experience life in a very different way, full of love and a deep sense of peace.
I was so inspired by the changes to my own life that I next decided to undertake a Masters of Counselling, as well as to do the 6 month IFS Online Circle (an official IFS Institute training) so that I could use IFS with my own clients. I also started working in weekly consultation with an IFS level 3 certified psychotherapist.
Over time, I found that the more I understood the IFS model and witnessed the significant impact it had on my clients, the less I wanted to work as a health coach. I now no longer consider myself a coach in a traditional sense. I feel that coaching usually has an agenda to help one part (or parts) of yourself, but ignores others in the process, and I want to help all your parts.
My clients describe my approach as compassionate, warm and caring. I love practicing IFS and see my work as a great privilege.
What is Internal Family Systems?
Getting to Know the Many Parts of You
Do you ever feel like there are different “voices” or “parts” inside you? For example:
One part of you might be driven and goal-oriented, while another part feels anxious or afraid to take risks.
Or maybe you have a critical inner voice that constantly pushes you, but deep down, there’s a part of you that just wants to rest.
This is completely normal, and it’s something we all experience.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps you explore these “parts” of yourself with kindness and curiosity. Instead of fighting or ignoring them, we’ll listen to what they need, heal the wounds they’re carrying, and help them work together in harmony.
At the center of it all is your core Self—the calm, compassionate, and wise part of you that can lead your inner system with confidence and clarity.
Why Work With Me?
I know first-hand how easy it is to feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Sometimes, we try to push through, set goals, or “fix” ourselves—but lasting change doesn’t come from force. It comes from understanding, healing, and aligning with your true self.
Together, we’ll:
Heal emotional blocks: Gently work through self-doubt, fear, or inner criticism.
Bring clarity to your life: Uncover what you truly want and need.
Create balance: Help the different parts of you work together instead of against each other.
Take meaningful action: Align your choices with your values and goals.
Overall, I want to help you create a life that feels peaceful and authentic, from the inside out.
