Mind-body health

Mind-body health encompasses mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

1-1 coaching allows you to explore your options, desires and concerns in a safe and confidential space; it can help you gain clarity and create positive change.

Benefits you can expect include:

‣ Reduced stress and anxiety
‣ Improved mood and focus
‣ Increased resilience
‣ Increased self-reliance
‣ Enhanced self-awareness
‣ Improved interpersonal skills
‣ Increased mind-body awareness

Stress and pent-up emotions are stored in the body. The mind-body connection, however, is often neglected in talking therapy. Somatic mindfulness can help you quieten the mind, process difficult emotions and reset your mood.

Mind management is life management.

Experience and training

I started working in stress management in 2008 and in coaching in 2016. I’ve worked with adults of all age groups and social backgrounds and with firms that aim to improve the wellbeing of their employees. I’ve trained extensively in mind-body practices in London and in Asia and I qualified as a life coach from Animas, an institute accredited by the International Coaching Federation. I’ve also had some training in counselling.

Seeking coaching or counselling isn’t a sign of weakness but rather of self-awareness and courage, as it requires us to embrace our vulnerability and to admit that we need support in order to gain new perspectives and insights.

A common barrier when considering coaching or therapy is the financial cost. I firmly believe that personal growth and mental health support should be widely accessible, which is why I offer reduced rates to individuals on lower incomes.

“Nico is genuinely invested in the well-being and success of his clients. I have been working with him for several months and he has helped me rethink how to share ideas and thoughts with my team members more effectively, particularly when giving difficult feedback. In other words, he has helped me become a more self-aware leader.”
Scott – London (UK)

“Characterising for the coaching process with Nico is his approach. In my experience, Nico refrains from drawing any conclusions on your behalf based on what you share with him. Instead, he is a great listener and through asking the right questions, he enables you to come to valuable insights. I was impressed with his skill in zooming in on the real issues. Although not always easy, I felt at ease during the sessions and felt no hesitation to share what was truly on my mind.”
Lawrence – Rotterdam (NL)

“My mindfulness sessions with Nico helped me stay focused and positive at a difficult time when I was dealing with a serious health issue. Nico’s approach is caring and he manages to create a feeling of calm and peacefulness which is second to none.”
Rachel – London (UK)

“Nico has a gentle sense of balance that he brings to his process. In listening he is able to cut through the static and reflect what is truly important. Moving forward I have found my time with Nico to be invaluable.”
Michael – Brighton (UK)

“Through my coaching sessions with Nico, I have learnt a great deal about which direction to take my life. Talking about my options, hopes and fears has helped me establish what choices I need to make to create a more fulfilling life for myself and those around me. Nico is warm, disarming and easy to talk to. Importantly, he asks the right questions, encouraging me to dive deeper into my own mind, to seek answers for myself.”
Bhanu – Doha (Qatar)

“During the pandemic of 2020/21 Zoom sessions with Nico were important and powerful for me. Nico is a calm and accepting guide, who has the unassuming confidence of one who understands what he has to offer—and how best to share it.”
Roland – London (UK)
