Support For Adults

There are times in life when you may find yourself thinking:

• “I can’t keep doing this.”
• “Why can’t I switch off?”
• “Everything feels too much.”
•  “I feel emotionally drained all the time.”
• “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
• “I used to cope better than this.”
• “I feel overwhelmed by work life, home life, or both.”
• “I’m constantly overthinking.”
• “I feel stuck.”
• “I know something needs to change.”
• “I just want to feel calmer again.”

You may be trying to manage:

• work pressures
• leadership responsibilities
•  business demands
•  home life
•  caring responsibilities
•  relationships
•  menopause changes
•  emotional exhaustion
•  or simply the pressure of trying to hold everything together for everyone else

while quietly feeling:

• overwhelmed
•  emotionally exhausted
•  mentally overloaded
•  disconnected from yourself
•  unsure how much longer you can keep coping this way

You may know exactly what support you need, or you may simply know that life feels harder than it should right now.

NKM Therapies combines talking therapy, nervous system understanding, practical tools and strategies, relaxation and visualisation techniques, and clinical hypnotherapy to help you better understand yourself and create calmer, steadier and more sustainable ways of moving forward.

Support for Children & Young People

Building Confidence, Self-Esteem & Emotional Wellbeing

Growing up brings all sorts of experiences and challenges. Some children and young people find it difficult to manage worries, understand their emotions, build confidence or feel comfortable in certain situations.

My Small Animal Calm & Confidence Pathway offers children and young people aged 6–18 a different way to explore these difficulties through practical activities, therapeutic conversations and interaction with small animals.

The six-session pathway is designed to help children and young people develop confidence, self-esteem, emotional awareness and practical tools and strategies they can use in everyday life.

Sessions are adapted to suit each child’s age, abilities and individual needs, allowing them to develop skills and build confidence at their own pace.

Supporting Schools & Alternative Provision

Flexible, individualized support for children and young people.

I work with schools and Alternative Provision providers, supporting children and young people who may be experiencing anxiety, low confidence, emotional difficulties, additional needs or challenging personal circumstances.

Through Animal Assisted Interventions, I provide opportunities for children and young people to develop confidence, self-esteem, communication skills, emotional awareness and personal development.

I recognise that not every child or young person finds it easy to talk about how they feel, particularly in a traditional one-to-one setting.

Working alongside animals can provide a different way to engage, build relationships and develop skills through practical activities and everyday experiences.

Sessions are flexible and tailored to individual needs, abilities and goals, allowing children and young people to progress at their own pace.

Workplace Wellbeing for Employers

A simple, affordable way to demonstrate your commitment to employee wellbeing.

I understand that employers have a responsibility to consider the wellbeing of their employees, but I also recognise that not every business has the time, resources or budget to develop its own wellbeing programme.

The NKM Workplace Wellbeing Hub has been developed to offer employers a straightforward, low-cost way to make practical wellbeing support available to their workforce.

Through a low-cost monthly subscription, employees have 24/7 access to wellbeing resources, including Focus Sessions, guided recordings and practical tools and strategies to help manage stress, anxiety, overwhelm, sleep difficulties, confidence and other everyday challenges.

I also recognise that what happens outside work can have just as much impact on how someone feels and performs as what happens during their working day.

By making support readily available, employers can help employees manage challenges that may affect their wellbeing, concentration and confidence, supporting their ability to maintain focus, engagement and performance at work.

The Hub provides a practical way for employers to demonstrate that they are taking positive steps to support employee wellbeing, while recognising the potential benefits for both employees and the business.

No complicated implementation, no long-term contracts and an affordable monthly cost.

THE CALM • CLARITY • CHANGE FRAMEWORK

The Calm • Clarity • Change Framework was created to help you better understand what may be contributing to stress, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion and feeling disconnected from yourself.

Because meaningful change is easier to create when we feel calmer, clearer, and more supported.

At NKM Therapies, all support is built around The 3 Cs:

CALM

Nervous System Regulation

Helping your mind and body feel calmer, safer, and more supported.

Supporting:

• stress and overwhelm
• anxiety and overthinking
• emotional exhaustion
• poor sleep and switching off
• nervous system regulation
• rest and recovery

Understanding your nervous system can help you better understand why you feel the way you do and how to support yourself more effectively.

CLARITY

Understanding Yourself & Your Patterns

Helping you better understand yourself, your reactions, and your patterns.

Supporting:

• confidence and self-worth
• emotional wellbeing
• people pleasing and guilt
• boundaries and communication
• identity changes
• mindset patterns
• feeling stuck or lost in your thoughts

Awareness creates understanding.
Understanding creates the opportunity for change.

CHANGE

Sustainable Behaviour & Lifestyle Change

Helping you create sustainable changes that support real life.

Supporting:

• behaviour and habit change
• consistency without perfection
• healthy lifestyle changes
• weight loss mindset support
• motivation and goal setting
• routines that feel realistic and manageable

Real change does not come from pressure or perfection.
It comes from small consistent steps repeated over time.

ABOUT NICKY

Hi, I’m Nicky, founder of NKM Therapies.

I support children, young people and adults through a range of life challenges and transitions, including stress, overwhelm, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, confidence and self-esteem, menopause and midlife changes, lifestyle changes, and periods of feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves.

Using evidence-based approaches including talking therapy, nervous system and somatic tools, relaxation and visualisation techniques, clinical hypnotherapy and animal-assisted intervention, my work is tailored to the individual and designed to support greater understanding, practical coping strategies, confidence, emotional wellbeing and sustainable change.

With over 30 years of experience across commercial business consultancy and social care settings, alongside 10 years of training in therapeutic support, mindset awareness, nervous system understanding, and guided hypnotherapy, my approach helps people better understand themselves and create calmer, steadier, and more sustainable ways of moving forward.

I understand, what feels manageable to one person may feel overwhelming to another.

What feels manageable to one person may feel overwhelming to another, and the same experience does not create the same emotional journey.

My work is designed to feel:

• calm
• supportive
• practical
• realistic
• non-judgemental
• emotionally safe

My aim is to create a supportive space where women feel understood, emotionally safe, and better equipped to navigate stress, change, and everyday life while feeling more like themselves again.
