I’m Nicole.

I’m a Personality and Expectations Life Coach, and I work with people over the age of 16 who have been diagnosed with personality disorders, or who are struggling with the expectations and demands of modern life.

I live in the Inner West of Sydney and as I write this, I’m 38 years old and have just suffered a breakdown and been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. I’m documenting my new life as I navigate having the knowledge of these disorders, determined not to succumb to their weaknesses but use them to improve and enjoy my life going forward. I’m also keen to shed light on what personality disorders are, and how we can live with them and learn from them. All in “layman’s” terms as I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist – just a very interested and party!

I have an incredible support network around me of family, friends and health professionals who will pop up in my posts regularly as I wouldn’t be who I am without them.

I live in a lovely house in Marrickville with one of my best friends and our cat Reggie! I like to cook, bake, crochet, read, write, learn, and have a glass of wine. My current focus is on learning as much about mental health and our brains and bodies as I can so that I can continue to grow.

I work in Insurance, as my day job, but as I go through this process, I hope to be able to help others who may be familiar with the pain, concern, stress and anxiety of being diagnosed with or having a Personality Disorder, or who have identified they are struggling with the expectations and demands of life around them, and are keen to move forward and live a more meaningful and purposeful life.

I look forward to hearing from you!
