Ready for something to actually shift?

Whether you’re stuck in something specific or you simply know you’re capable of more, this is where it starts.

  • You know exactly what is holding you back — you just cannot shift it on your own
  • You have tried to change this before and it did not stick
  • You keep repeating the same behaviours or emotional patterns
  • Your purpose or passion feels just out of reach
  • You want more fulfilment in your work or your personal life
  • Your goals feel overwhelming, or quietly unattainable
  • You cannot see a way past the obstacle in front of you
  • You want more alignment, balance and joy in how you live

If you recognised yourself in two or more of these, Life & Mindset Coaching with NLP and hypnosis is designed for exactly this.

What it is

Coaching that works at the level where change actually holds

Life & Mindset Coaching at Evolve Wellness combines Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), transformational coaching and clinical hypnosis to help you clarify what genuinely matters to you and move towards it with confidence.

Most coaching stops at what to do. Ours goes further, because a to-do list has never once fixed a belief. We work with your values, your identity and the internal strategies running underneath your behaviour — so the change is grounded rather than temporary.

You do not need a crisis to justify coaching. Plenty of clients arrive functioning perfectly well and still feeling stuck: unclear on what they want, held back by self-doubt, or doing everything for everyone else. That is precisely the work.

Best when you know something needs to shift but talking about the problem has not shifted it.

What you work on

Where coaching makes the biggest difference

Direction

Clarity and purpose

Get clear on your values, your direction and what you actually want — rather than what you have inherited, absorbed or settled for.

Confidence

Self-belief and self-doubt

Quieten the inner critic and update the beliefs that have been capping what you allow yourself to attempt.

Patterns

Breaking the loop

Interrupt the repeated behaviours, procrastination and emotional patterns that keep returning no matter how much you plan.

Momentum

Goals that actually move

Turn overwhelming ambitions into a direction you can act on, with the internal strategies to sustain it once the novelty wears off.

Balance

Work, life and boundaries

Rebuild balance where work has quietly taken everything, and learn to hold boundaries without guilt.

Performance

Peak performance

Perform consistently when it counts — in business, sport, study or creative work — by training the mindset, not just the skill.

Who it is for

Coaching works whatever your field

Business owners, executives and professionals. Athletes, musicians and creatives. Parents rebuilding an identity beyond the family. Anyone who suspects there is more in them than they are currently living.

What these people share is not a problem to fix — it is a gap between where they are and what they are capable of. Coaching closes that gap deliberately rather than by luck.

Choosing your path

What is the difference between coaching and counselling?

Both are genuinely supportive, and plenty of clients use both. They differ in four important ways.

CoachingCounselling
Focuses on goals, outcomes and creating a desired futureFocuses on difficulties and resolving past issues
Works with past experience, habits and programming only where it helps create change in the present and futureWorks primarily to understand and heal the past
Takes a holistic view of your life — mind, body and sense of selfOften explores one challenge or condition in depth
Centred entirely on your conscious agenda and chosen outcomesMay follow wherever the process leads as it unfolds

Why it works

Transformational coaching, not action coaching

Action coaching tells you what to do. Transformational coaching changes who is doing it — which is why the results last.

Sessions draw on Robert Dilts’ Seven Levels of Change, working from the surface down to the levels where behaviour is actually generated.

  • Behaviour — shift the habits and reactions that undercut you
  • Environment — align your surroundings and routines with your goals
  • Capability — expand your skills and internal strategies
  • Beliefs & values — update the assumptions quietly setting your ceiling
  • Identity — strengthen your sense of who you are
  • Purpose — reconnect to your “why” and what it is all for

Getting started

How coaching works, step by step

1

Book your first session

Choose a time that suits you and book online. Sessions run securely by telehealth, so you can work with Nikki from anywhere in Australia.

2

Get clear on the goal

We establish what you actually want and find what has been quietly getting in the way — often something different from what you expected.

3

Build it and keep it

Using NLP, coaching and hypnosis, we install the beliefs, strategies and habits that carry you there — and you keep the tools afterwards.

Client results

What coaching clients say

“Within the space of an hour, Nikki’s profound insights and guidance helped me to let go of a deeply embedded, personal issue that had weighed down my self-confidence for more than 15 years. I now know that nothing but my own doubts can stand in the way of achieving my dreams.” Dr Lisa Curtis-Wendtland — Melbourne, VIC
“When I first went to see Nikki I was lost. I hated my job and had no clear direction. She helped me reconnect with my deeply held values and push through numerous fears and mental blocks — now I am well on my way in my career and loving every minute of it.” Luke E — VIC
“My work and life balance has been vastly improved in the short time I have known Nikki. The way she follows up on my progress and the feedback she gives is excellent, which helps me keep on track.” Peter — VIC
Common questions

Life & Mindset Coaching FAQs

How many coaching sessions will I need?

It depends on what you are working towards. Some people get what they came for in a handful of sessions; others prefer ongoing support while they build something bigger. Nikki will give you an honest view after the first session rather than selling you a fixed package upfront.

Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching is forward-facing and centred on your goals, while therapy and counselling work to understand and heal what has already happened. If something from the past needs attention first, Nikki is also a qualified counsellor and hypnotherapist, so the work can adapt without you having to start again with someone new.

What actually happens in an NLP coaching session?

Mostly conversation — but structured conversation. Nikki uses precise questioning to find the belief or strategy underneath the problem, then NLP techniques to change it. Hypnosis may be used where it helps, always with your agreement. You leave with tools you can use on your own.

Does coaching work online?

Yes. Coaching translates to telehealth exceptionally well, and many clients find it easier to think clearly in their own space. All you need is a quiet room and an internet connection. Nikki works with clients right across Australia.

I am not in crisis — is coaching still worth it?

That is the ideal starting point. Coaching is most powerful when you are functioning well and want more: more clarity, more confidence, more alignment between your life and what you actually value.

What does coaching cost?
