NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Nicki Saunders

I’m a counsellor, clinical supervisor, and now a published author dedicated to empowering parents. My journey into counselling started in my mid-20s when I sought help for myself. A counsellor’s words then planted a seed that eventually grew into a fulfilling career helping others heal and thrive.

As a wife, mother to two grown children, and a proud dog owner, I’ve faced many of the same challenges that you may be facing right now. Growing up in the ’70s with emotionally unavailable parents, I knew I wanted a different path for my own family. Recognising the patterns from my childhood, I worked hard to break those cycles, shaping my parenting approach with intention and love. My aim is to help you to do the same, for you to be able to look back on your relationship with your children and be proud of the connection you have built.

In December 2024, I released my debut book, Who Made You The Milk Police, sharing practical strategies and insights to help parents just like you to navigate parenting challenges with confidence and ease.

Supporting you in helping your children to thrive is my passion. 

I advocate that prevention is far better than cure. Having spent my whole career in the cure arena, I have developed a wealth of insight and experience into what works and doesn't work in the parenting world and how influential our childhood is on who we become.

Embracing change is essential for preparing our children for what lies ahead, and I cannot wait to work with you on your journey.
