Nicole Pawlick
Welcome!
I’m Nicole, a professionally trained counsellor who specializes in trauma-informed,
attachment-oriented care for children, teens, adults, and families. If you’re navigating
big feelings, complex histories, or a sense of being “stuck,” I offer a steady,
compassionate space to help you understand what’s happening, shift patterns that no
longer serve you, and build a life that feels more connected, confident, and aligned
with your values.
Areas of Focus
- Complex and developmental trauma
- Anxiety, stress, and burnout
- Identity, self-esteem, and life transitions
- Neurodivergence-affirming support (for clients and families)
- Grief and loss
- Parenting and family dynamics
