About Nicole

I'm Nicole Mathieson relationship and self esteem coach, counsellor, couple therapist and author of The Beauty Load

I help women, men and couples in their intimate relationships with others and with themselves.

Are you ready to create the loving intimate relationship (inner and outer) that you have always wanted?

Yes? Then you are in the right place!

Couple therapist

We struggle in our relationships wondering...

  • when the happily ever after will start
  • why we feel so resentful and triggered towards the one we love
  • how we can be such control freaks (we are not like that with anyone else)
  • if this person really is the "one" or not
  • why we are uninspired by our sex lives
  • if this is as good as relationships get
  • why we can't communicate better
  • if you are good enough, attractive enough, loving enough or sexual enough to have a thriving relationship at all

I know, I have been there myself

I have been married for 20+ years and like any marriage, we have had our ups and downs. We are lucky to have been on an upward trend for many years, but it is not by chance. It is only since I started getting smarter and taking responsibility for my part in the relationship that things have felt better.

I know from experience that relationships are hard. And this is the case even if you, like me, are with a good man/human.

It can be really easy to blame, get resentful or just throw it all away, when a lot of the time, what we need to do is take responsibility and do what we can to make it better.
(NB: not always – sometimes we are just with the wrong person)

In my coaching sessions, I bring my years of experience as a relationship coach, counsellor & kinesiologist as well as the wisdom gained from over 2 decades with my man to help you work towards having a relationship that not only feels good now, but thrives and grows into the future. The secret lies with you getting smarter in your relationship.

I know that this is a big and often scary step. I want you to know that I offer a gentle, supportive and accepting environment in which my focus is on making sure you feel safe and comfortable in order to blossom.

Let me help you bring back the person you know you can be and spark life back in to your relationship.

Work with me in Paddington (Brisbane), or online.
