During a successful first career as a violinist, Nicola also studied for a BSc (Hons) in Psychology with the Open University. Subsequently, she decided to change career, and to train, and specialise, in Occupational Psychology. Nicola has since acquired a Masters in Occupational Psychology from the University of London together with 18 years' varied consultancy / research experience in Individual / organisation development in both the public and private sectors.
She has developed specific interests and expertise in coaching and counselling individuals with their careers and professional development. This has, in turn, led to qualitative research interests in coaching and counselling, and in the influence of emotions on behaviour and decision-making.
Nicola's first consultancy project after graduating was with PDF. She has enjoyed a close association with PDF ever since. PDF and David Lane have hugely supported her career and professional development, and she felt honoured and excited when, in 2010, David Lane offered her the opportunity to contribute more broadly to PDF and to the PDF team as Director of Programmes.
In 2008 Nicola co-authored with Sarah Corrie and David Lane a chapter on ‘How to Develop Your Career and Organise Your Continuing Professional Development’. More recently Nicola has published articles in the Journal of Rational-Emotive and Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy.
