About Nicole Turner
Nicole has been a registered psychologist for 17 years. Dedicating 15 of those years working with children at risk and working closely with families in need of support.
Everything Nicole does is trauma-informed and from real-life experience as a mother of a neurodivergent child.
“Modern-day parenting is tricky, I find it a privilege to hear people’s stories and support them to work through the challenges so they can become the best version of themselves. I have a knack for meeting people where they are at.
I draw upon evidence-based practice and research to support my clients to challenge unhelpful thinking lenses and recognise their self-worth."

To prepare for your online psychology session it is important to choose a quiet and private space.
It is a good idea to check your internet connection and spend a small amount of time setting up your device before your first online therapy session.
> You might like to use headphones during your session for an added layer of privacy.
> If you feel your internet connection can sometimes be unreliable it is recommended that no one else is using your internet connection at the same time as your session, and as well as by other applications on your device.
> Ensure all other web browsers and apps are closed during your online sessions.
> If you would prefer you don’t have to use your webcam for your online therapy session. You can choose to turn it off and keep only the audio function on.
