Stop Existing

Start Thriving

Are You Stuck In The Maze Of Life?

Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of just getting through the day, struggling to find real contentment?

You feel you are lost in a maze, and you know there is a way out yet you can’t find your way and there’s only shadow and no light, you look up for inspiration and only see more depth. 

No matter how long you’ve been lost in the maze or why you ended up there, I can lead you out back into the open forest where there is light and then when you look up you see blue sky hope and inspiration rather than depth and feeling lost. 

Are You Ready to Stop Struggling And Start Living?

Hi, I‘m Nichola

"I help individuals unlock their full potential and achieve their goals."

Nichola Tidmarsh

Therapist

Why choose me...

There are many therapists out there, and many coaches, there are also many Reiki Masters yet I am all three professions within one meatsuit (playful term for Human). It is important to understand that we are Energy, within a physical body (meatsuit) and that meatsuit has a mind. I always work with all three parts, ensuring they all get the attention they deserve, otherwise it would be like trying to fix a car, yet only considering the engine and ignoring the rest of the vehicle's components as if they are not as important. Like cars get MOT’s to ensure their safety and functionality, I too, consider people as needing the same.

I have spent 1000’s of hours with people from various professions and backgrounds and they have come to me for various reasons, yet I will always start with a human MOT (Maintenance Off Three), teaching them the importance of all three parts and this enables them to see if they need to do any maintenance on any areas that they might not have realised had perished or needed repair. Otherwise, they will never feel balanced and will continue to exist rather than live a fulfilled life. Once I have undertaken a MOT,  together we can discuss the destination and with various tools within my Tool Box, the client can then be assisted to get their healing journey underway going in the direction and speed that feels best for the client.

The Mechanics Of The Meatsuit

Learn To Live Rather Than Exist

Stress and trauma leave a lasting impact on your 'Meatsuit,' the term I use for your physical body. When you're overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, or withdrawing from life, it’s unlikely you'll reach for an academic book to figure out what’s happening. That’s where this manual comes in.

The concepts in this book have helped my clients understand their unique experiences with stress and trauma. It empowers them to make sense of imbalances and discover paths to change, choosing to 'live rather than exist.'

While every Meatsuit is unique, like a car manual, this guide points you in the right direction. It covers the mind, the body, and the energetic systems that affect you. From the mind's relation to time, the impact of the nervous system, to how our past selves influence the present—it’s all here.

Your Manual For Living!
This empowering Manual will help you shift from merely existing to truly living. So pick it up And read it.

Coaching and Therapeutic Training Courses

Having had personal experience working for the Local Authority, NHS and within educational settings, I have experienced the pressures that this can bring managers and staff alike. Had I known back then what I know now, I could have prevented personal burnout and time off work.

I offer group coaching and training services to improve managers' and staff members' mental health and self-development.

Teachings of the "Mechanics of the Meatsuit" have enabled people to return to work after long-term sickness or burnout.

Teachings around the Energetic system offer huge insights as to how to protect the self when working with other personalities and in working environments that are not set up to suit personal preferences and the stress this can cause.

Training packages are available for Corporate Companies or Government Establishments that wish to support their members of staff who may be struggling with mental health difficulties, or who wish to offer CPD in areas of improved Emotional and mental wellbeing. Drawing on my three professional hats (Coach, Therapist and Reiki Master) and with a background in Child and Adult social work I can tailor packages that suit the establishment pressures. My coaching and therapeutic support encompasses visuals, auditory and kinaesthetic tools, so no matter preferred learning and communication styles I can offer support in a way that is meaningful enabling all to engage.

Reiki Therapy

Reiki can be a very healing practice. It is a powerful tool for reducing stress and increasing overall wellbeing. Reiki can be used to restore balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. It is used for aches and pains, various illnesses and injuries, and reducing stress related symptoms like headaches and insomnia. While Reiki is not a substitute for medical care, it can support the healing process. It can also be used to promote creativity, navigate life transitions, cultivate joy, boost confidence, and balance by gently and effectively opening blocked meridians, and chakras, and clears the bodies energy, leaving one feeling relaxed and at peace. Reiki restores energy balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. It gently and effectively opens blocked meridians, auras and chakras, and clears the energy bodies, leaving one feeling relaxed and at peace. A treatment feels like warm, gentle sunshine which flows through you, surrounds you and comforts you. Reiki treats the person's body, emotions, mind and spirit as a whole. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. During a treatment, the clients remain fully clothed.

Before the Reiki session begins, you'll have a conversation with me about your intention for the session. I will ask you to compete a questionnaire  and go over what you might experience during the session. You'll make yourself comfortable on the massage/Reiki table, fully clothed, and the session will begin.

The active Reiki session will last 45-60 minutes. At the end of the session I will debrief you and give aftercare instructions. The initial Reiki appointment is 90 minutes. This gives us both time to go over your health history and to create an intention for the session. Similar to other healing modalities like massage or acupuncture, the time between appointments may vary depending on your stress levels, life situations, and your body's wisdom. Follow up sessions may address blockages from previous sessions or may focus on new intentions.

Initial Reiki Consultation • 90 Minutes • £90

The initial Reiki consultation includes: an overview of the process of a Reiki session, completing intake information, and a discussion to identify intentions for receiving Reiki (30 minutes). The initial consultation is followed by a Reiki session (60 minutes).

Routine Reiki Session • 60 Minutes • £60

This Reiki session may be used to continue to work on intentions identified in your initial consultation or to promote wellbeing, reduce stress, and invite relaxation.

I offer the 1-1 Reiki treatments and also Reiki Training level 1, 2 and Master level

1-1 support for Coaching and Therapy Services

Sometimes people seek support due to stress and trauma, and some people seek coaching to improve confidence, and communication with others or to improve self-awareness. Whatever the reason for seeking support I can tailor a package to support your needs. Whether you are here for healing or growth work, I will teach you to be your own therapist or coach so that you can start living rather than existing. I can teach groups or do this work individually. My coaching and therapeutic support encompasses visuals, auditory and kinaesthetic tools, so no matter the preferred learning and communication styles I can offer support in a meaningful way.

Therapeutic 1-1 support would start with an Initial Assessment which enables me to establish the presenting issues and how it is impacting your daily life. We would discuss any medical issues or symptoms that are important to consider and then we would look at your goals. I would then advise the domains of self that I think would be helpful for you to understand and nurture so that you can heal those domains and offer a plan on how we would achieve this and timescales. I will always offer a review during our work together for you to evaluate your progress.

Coaching 1-1 support would start with a Self-evaluation wheel as a tool for you to assess what your needs are and the goals you would like to reach. I would then advise you on the techniques I would teach you to get you there and then we would make a plan and discuss expected timescales to achieve this. I will always offer a review during our work together in order for you to evaluate your progress.

My review consists of 10 questions that incorporate the Mind, Physical Body (Meatsuit), and Energetic System. The review is conducted in a way that offers insights into areas that have shifted and areas that may need more time, support and understanding to create bigger shifts in healing and personal growth. The review is helpful for visualising beginning, middle and end points and this enables further discussions on wants and needs and tools and techniques that the client has found more valuable than others so that constant change and evaluation is being achieved. I pride myself in teaching independence, not dependency and this review offers the client a real chance to evaluate this for themselves.

Tarot Therapy

The Tarot Therapy Approach empowers consciousness, uncovers unconscious motivations and influences, addresses negative thought patterns and unhealthy behaviour and promotes self-actualisation. Tarot Therapy is an unconventional therapy that addresses a series of issues and focuses on spiritual wellbeing, it is soul orientated and empowers consciousness. The goals of Tarot Therapy are to identify issues and problems, empowers the client to achieve self-awareness and encourages the client to do necessary shadow work, promoting self-actualisation, fulfilment and awareness.

Tarot Readings versus Tarot Therapy

In a Tarot Reading the client asks the question, it addresses a single-issue or problem, and they can be 15 minutes to one hour readings. Tarot Therapy's focus is spiritual wellbeing, looks at present experiences and has short term sessions from a few weeks to a few months dependent on the client. Usually 4 sessions within a 3 month period and it does not encourage long term engagement.

Session Structure & Costs:

Pre session, Initial Consultation 30 minutes £20. Enables client to advise "why" they are seeking Tarot Therapy and enables me to explain the "how" we will work together.

Initial session 90 minutes £60. Objectives are to identify the problems or issues, to undertake the tarot profile and wheel of life.

Each session thereafter £40.
