A little about me

I have been coaching for 16 years with over 450 hours of coaching experience.

Nicola O’Sullivan trained with the Neuroleadership Institute, which takes a brain based approach to coaching.

I use the latest research in neuroscience to inform how to create the optimum conditions to enable the brain to do its best thinking.

I have lectured Psychology for over 18 years and am currently Head of Psychology at an A Level School in London. My coaching therefore, has a strong psychological and scientific foundation.

My coaching approach is motivating, professional, and down-to earth.
