Is It Time to Put Yourself First?

Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling to keep up with life's demands? If you’re constantly running on empty, it may be time to pause...... breathe...... and give yourself the space to heal and recharge......

JOIN MY WAITLIST

Can You Relate?

  • Do you pour your heart and soul into supporting others but find there's little time or energy left for yourself?

  • Maybe you find yourself constantly putting others’ needs first, as a caregiver, a nurturer, or simply someone who feels deeply responsible for those around you.

  • You might identify as a People Pleaser, an Empath, a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), an Overachiever, or Perfectionist. 

  • Always pushing to meet high expectations, rushing from one task to the next, yet running on empty with no time to pause or recharge.

  • Feeling as if life is happening to you rather than for you, noticing a numbness, leaving you disconnected from your own emotions and sense of self.

  • Exhausted but unable to sleep, your body craves rest while your mind just won’t switch off.

  • Being responsible for everyone around you, giving much more of yourself yet rarely receiving the same care and understanding in return.

  • A never-ending to-do list causing your mind and body to be running non-stop, with and no time to slow down.

  • Does This Sound Like Your Day?

  • Hitting the snooze button multiple times, already feeling exhausted before the day even begins.

  • Rushing from place to place or task to task, yet despite all your efforts, nothing feels truly accomplished.

  • Physically feeling the strain: headaches, muscle tension, chest tightness, or digestive issues are your constant companions.

  • Mentally foggy, struggling to make decisions, with your mind racing from one worry to the next.

  • Emotionally snapping at others, followed by guilt and sadness, feeling isolated even in a room full of people.

  • Collapsing in the evening, drained and disappointed, wondering why it feels impossible to catch up or make time for yourself.

  • Relying on coping strategies like wine, comfort foods, caffeine, or TV binges just to get through the day.

  • Constantly pushing yourself to achieve, avoiding quiet or stillness, even when your body is begging for rest.

  • Hi, I'm Nichola Mc Donald

    I'm an Integrative Counsellor and Holistic Coach with years of experience personally and professionally. Supporting women in helping professions who feel trapped by constant emotional overwhelm, negative thoughts, and unexplained physical symptoms from chronic stress and burnout.

    As someone who has walked this path, I understand the exhaustion that comes from always giving and not receiving support in return. I know what it’s like to push through chronic fatigue, migraines, and emotional numbness while trying to help and care for others.

    It took many years, feeling like I was fighting a losing battle with myself, health and energy, but I never gave up and I got there in the end. It was hard doing it alone so that's why I want to help women like you to overcome the challenges you are facing now.

    I’ve been where you are and I know that no amount of talk therapy or self-care seems to touch the deeper pain that you are feeling at this time but I promise it can get better.

    Are you ready to explore how I can support you? Reach out by contacting me directly HERE, or CLICK HERE to learn more about my story and how I can help you reclaim your energy.

    "Nichola is not just a super skilled therapist; she's also one of the kindest people I've ever come across. She knows a lot about different ways to help people, and she helped me more than I thought anyone could. I didn't even know what I was looking for, but Nichola just seemed to get it. She was there for me, showing me care and teaching me stuff in every chat we had."

    "Starting sessions with Nichola was a game-changer for me. I was dealing with a ton of stress and worry, and to be honest, I wasn't sure therapy was my thing. But Nichola's way of connecting everything going on in my head with how my body felt made sense to me. She taught me practical stuff to help me cope better and stay strong. She helped me pay attention to what my body's telling me and how to respond so I can relax and find balance. Now, I can handle tough times with a lot more peace and confidence. Nichola's a mix of real friendliness, understanding, and serious know-how, and that's made my time with her life-changing. I'd tell anyone feeling overwhelmed or stressed-out to give her a try."
