High Performance Coach & Psychotherapist MSc

About me

Hi, I'm Nicola Hladky. EMCC Accredited Coach and NCPS Registered Psychotherapist.

MSc in Psychology, PGDIP Psychotherapy and Harvard Leadership Certified.

I work with senior leaders, founders and high performers. People who are successful on the outside but privately stretched too thin.

The pressure that never lets up.

The decisions you can't stop second-guessing.

The gap between how you look on paper and how you actually feel.

Something's getting in your way. That's exactly where this work begins.

You bring what's on your mind.

The decision you can't make, the pattern you keep repeating, the pressure that's been building longer than it should have. 

We unpick it, find the way through and build the resilience to handle whatever comes next.

It's solution-focused and always forward-moving.

But unlike most coaching, I work at the level of the patterns underneath, not just the symptoms on the surface. 

As a trained psychotherapist I can get to the root of what's actually driving the problem.

That's where real change happens and it happens faster than you'd expect.

I use whatever works for you. Tailored to what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all method.

What clients come to me with:

  • Burnout and chronic exhaustion.
  • Overthinking and perfectionism.
  • Impostor syndrome and self-doubt.
  • High-pressure decisions and difficult conversations.
  • Confidence through career transitions.
  • ADHD.
  • Scaling, stepping up or starting over.

What changes:

  • They make decisions more clearly and quickly.
  • They lead with calm instead of adrenaline.
  • They stop overthinking and start trusting themselves.
  • They build resilience that holds under real pressure.

What clients say:

"When I started, I felt overwhelmed by my thoughts and catastrophised constantly. I'm now more courageous, in control and able to lead with a new level of confidence." Mark, CFO

"She's the right mix of coach and therapist, helping me break cycles while pushing me to achieve more than I thought possible." Sarah, CEO

"After suffering with anxiety and impostor syndrome, I worked with Nicola for 6 months. By the end, I was more confident than I've ever been." Natalie, Sales Director
