I set sail from those shores as a teenager to find the bigger story—

After decades in international human rights, community development and adult learning, I trained as a coach some 17 years ago.

I now work with leaders and professionals at points of pressure, transition and growth.

I’m an ICF PCC coach, trained in Time to Think, DISC and Strengths. I work through coaching, facilitation, expressive writing and photo journaling.

Clients have included Clore Social Leadership, the British Council, FourthRev, Rethink, teams from Microsoft and clients from AWS amongst others, plus pro bono work with the NHS Leadership Academy and the Humanitarian Coaching Network.

I’m also a published creative writer and workshop leader.

Nicky is a highly skilled coach in her element. She is a very energetically connected, non-telling, not advising mature coach. She allowed me to reflect on my own needs and to clarify what I see.
