Nicola Tarbuck MBSCH PDCH CNHC FHT CSS (SM)NCPS 

Welcome! 

I have over 20 years of experience supporting healing journeys.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, blending holistic and clinically informed practices such as clinical hypnosis, EMDR (eye movement desensitisation reprocessing), CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), stress and anxiety management, nervous system regulation practices, somatic healing and movement therapies to facilitate positive, lasting change.

Choosing a therapist can feel daunting, but if a person-centred, solution-focused approach that heals through the lens of the mind and body sounds like what you’ve been missing, give me a call.

We can discuss your needs and develop a plan. The important part is taking that first step and reaching out.

My first career was contemporary dance, which I loved, but in 1994, while I was at university, I injured my knee and back.

At that point, I discovered the power of Pilates, and I will always be grateful for the weekly remedial sessions I had, as they were crucial to my recovery.

However, something else happened during those sessions that changed the course of my life. I had witnessed other dancers who were injured, and I became aware then that I wanted to be able to help others. I re-trained as a Pilates teacher, and my career took off.

My passion is to help others

I trained in all aspects of health, fitness, healing, and bodywork, which provided me with the knowledge and skills necessary to support individuals recovering from injury. My career path was determined, and as my reputation grew, I began working internationally with many wonderful people.

Through my clients’ recommendations to their friends and colleagues, I was very busy. For example, I introduced Gary Barlow to Pilates. We worked together rehabilitating his back after he climbed Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief.  I had the pleasure of working with him and his wife for over seven years. 

My experience has helped other artists, such as Bruce Springsteen, Robert Plant, and Pink Floyd, stay on top of their game with my intuitive bodywork and healing practices. To sing on stage, you need more than just a voice coach.

I’m particularly proud of my work assisting the head physiotherapist at Cirque Du Soleil on four tours around Argentina. I provided physical therapy, posture correction, and Pilates and Yoga classes in between shows. This experience helped me deepen my understanding of how the body and mind impact each other. 

Always learning to support others better.

I’m always striving to understand the mind-body connection so that I can help my clients more effectively. In 2017, I realised I wanted to deepen my understanding of mental health, and went on to study stress management, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and psychological trauma. I hold a Level 3 counselling certificate and am currently pursuing my advanced counselling training. 

I’ve been working in private practice for more than twenty years, and in 2022, I worked for a school counselling service in Ealing, supporting girls and young women with their mental health challenges.  

My journey is ongoing, and I am excited about the new opportunities this next chapter of my life is bringing, as well as the people I will be able to help with my skills and experience.
