About Nicole

The work has changed. The reason hasn't.

I've spent more than 13 years working with children and young people across the UK and UAE, helping schools, families and professionals understand what sits underneath behaviour, build stronger support systems and make mental health support more accessible.

Whether I'm working with a school leadership team, speaking to a room full of educators, supporting a counsellor or sitting one-to-one with a client, the goal is the same: to help people feel seen, understood and supported.

I'm the founder of Tea of Therapy and creator of The Child We Miss™. And I'm still asking the same question I've asked throughout my career:

What might we understand differently if we looked a little closer?

The Framework

The Child We Miss™

See. Understand. Respond. Sustain.

When we miss a child, it is rarely because no one cared.

It's often because there wasn't a shared system to see what was happening early enough.

The Child We Miss™ is my whole-school framework for helping schools move from reactive wellbeing to sustainable, joined-up support.

See → Understand → Respond → Sustain → See again, more clearly.
