About
Hi, I'm Niki
I'm a psychotherapist and Breathwork Coach based in West Sussex & Hampshire, offering a warm, grounded space for exploration through breathwork and talking therapy.
My work is rooted in the belief that the body holds wisdom — and that breath is one of the most direct ways to access it. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, or simply a sense that something needs to shift, I'm here to support you.
My journey
How I came to this work
My own path to breathwork began during a period of burnout. I’d spent years in a demanding role, and eventually my body was telling me — loudly — that something had to change. A breathwork retreat opened my eyes to the idea that healing can happen in layers. I experienced a depth of emotional release and connection that felt different from what I had experienced through talking therapy alone. It left me curious, inspired and with a strong sense that I needed to learn more. I went on to train with leading practitioners in the field, exploring the relationship between the mind, body and nervous system and developing my understanding of somatic approaches, and trauma-informed, evidence-based breathwork. Over time, breathwork became a natural extension of my therapeutic work. I now bring these approaches together in a way that is compassionate, grounded and trauma-informed — creating space for people to understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their bodies and explore what may be held beneath the surface. For me, it is about recognising that sometimes talking is an important part of healing, but it isn't always the whole story.
My approach
What guides my practice
Body-led
I follow the body's signals rather than imposing a fixed agenda. Your nervous system knows the pace.
Trauma-informed
All my work is grounded in an understanding of how trauma lives in the body and how breath can gently support its release.
Evidence-based
I draw on the latest research in breathwork, psychotherapy and somatic therapy to inform every session.
Relational
The therapeutic relationship is central. You will always feel seen, heard, and held in our work together.
The space
A place to arrive
Sessions take place at the Green Door in Bosham, West Sussex — a peaceful, private cabin set within a beautiful garden. It's a space designed to help you slow down, feel held, and breathe.
