Strategic Business Consulting
That Delivers Results
Business Coaching, Consulting and Accountability
I help ambitious business owners implement proven strategies to increase profitability, streamline operations, and build scalable systems. I specialise in working with diverse thinking styles, including neurodivergent entrepreneurs with ADHD, autism and dyslexia.
Coaching
Helping you find the answers
I’ll ask the right questions, challenge your thinking, and guide your development – but you stay in the driver’s seat. It’s ideal if you want to build confidence, clarity, or make mindset shifts.
Consultancy
I will bring the answers
I assess your business, spot opportunities, and give you practical strategies to move forward. It’s best when you need expert input, a clear plan, or hands-on problem solving.
Accountability
Keeping you on track
Regular check-ins, structure, and support to help you follow through and stay focused. Perfect if you’ve got a plan but need support to remain consistent.
Lead Generation
Outreach services to find your customers
I take the weight of outreach off your shoulders — researching the right prospects, initiating professional conversations, and identifying people who are ready to engage with you about your services. Ideal if you want consistent opportunities, higher-quality connections, and a predictable pipeline without the trial-and-error.
Neurodiversity Support
Helping you thrive
A bespoke blend of services designed to meet the unique needs of neurodivergent individuals or teams. Built for neurodivergent professionals and businesses committed to genuine inclusion.
My Client Reviews
Nicola has been instrumental in helping us shape and grow Fire Scene Group – not just as a business, but as a trusted service in a complex industry. Her strategic insight, ability to turn ideas into action, and calm, grounded approach have made her an essential part of our extended team.
She’s supported us across everything from business planning and stakeholder communications to website content and the development of a new emergency response service. Nicola brings a rare combination of practical thinking, honest challenge, and genuine support – she just gets it, and she gets things done. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for hands-on, high-impact help from someone who understands both people and business.
Daniel Quinn, Fire Scene Group Ltd
Nicola has been a shining light for me and my business. Before working with her, I was feeling lost, and my ADHD was getting the better of me. Nicola took the time to understand how I work, adapting her advice, support, and strategies to best suit me. Now, my business is flying, I’m in a much better place mentally, and I have a clear direction for where I want to take my business, with renewed enthusiasm and passion. I can’t recommend Nicola enough.
Emily Nickless, Gather Round Studio
I’ve been working with Nicola at NAE Solutions Ltd for just a month, and the business impact has been incredible. I’m achieving significantly more, completing projects faster, and my operational efficiency has improved dramatically.
Nicola’s introduced me to brilliant time-saving software and keeps me strategically focused without overwhelm. The result? Clear direction, consistent progress, and a business that actually runs smoothly. It’s like having a strategic partner who genuinely wants to see you succeed.
