Ms Nicole Albaugh

Professional Nurse

33 years of experience in the medical field, including positions as a coordinator for the prevention of violence, team leader for the sexual assault protocol, graduate of counseling and psychological services, nurse, and eating disorders specialist.

About Me

With 33 years in the medical field, including nursing and psychological services, I bring extensive experience to complex challenges. I specialise in supporting individuals impacted by violence, sexual assault, and eating disorders. My background as a protocol leader and coordinator informs a structured yet compassionate approach. Clients seeking a grounded professional who understands the medical and emotional aspects of healing will find a supportive space. I help them navigate their journey with confidence.

Approach

Drawing from long clinical experience, I move quickly from careful assessment into concrete, paced steps that prioritize safety and clarity. In sessions we build practical skills — grounding, routine adjustments, thought and behavior experiments — then practice them between meetings with brief homework and regular check-ins. My style is collaborative and structured, blending compassionate listening with measurable goals so progress becomes visible. People navigating trauma, eating challenges, mood instability, or substance-related struggles often find this steady, skills-focused rhythm helpful.
