ABOUT VICKI
My own career has been
a journey of purpose.
Like many of the people who come to Nia, my career didn't follow the path I originally imagined. I trained and worked as a pharmacist, a vocation built on science, precision, and care for others. Along the way, I completed an MBA, deepening my understanding of the systems and organisations that shape working life. Thirteen years working within the sector shaped who I thought I was professionally. Then 2021 intervened and left me sitting with a question I couldn't ignore: Is this really what you're here to do?
That question led me back to study. I completed a Master of Counselling, Rehabilitation and Mental Health, and found myself drawn into the world of Occupational Rehabilitation, a space where work, identity, wellbeing, and recovery intersect in profound ways.
In that field, I have had the privilege of working closely with people who have experienced workplace injuries. Many of them were rebuilding their sense of self, their confidence, and their belief in what their professional future could look like, in addition to recovering physically. I sat with people through some of their most uncertain moments. I helped them grieve the career they'd lost and reimagine one that still had meaning.
That work shaped me deeply. It taught me that a career is a central part of how we understand who we are. And when it shifts, by choice or by circumstance, the ripple effects are felt across every part of a person's life.
Nia was born from that understanding. From my own pivot. From the people I've had the honour of walking alongside. And from a genuine belief that everyone deserves a working life that feels purposeful, sustainable, and theirs.
HOW IT WORKS
What you can expect
The most meaningful professional lives are ones we actively shape ourselves, guided by our own values, driven by our own curiosity, and responsive to where life takes us.
Nia's practice is built around this understanding. Grounded in an evidence-based approach that creates meaningful, lasting change in a relatively short timeframe, every session focuses on your strengths, your existing resources, and the future you want to build. In practice, this means we spend our time together exploring what's already working, clarifying what you truly want, and building practical pathways forward at your pace, in your direction.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you access that expertise, and to walk alongside you as you move toward it.
01
Forward-focused
We orient toward your preferred future, what you want next and how to get there.
02
Strengths-based
We build on what you already do well, surfacing resources and capabilities you may not have recognised in yourself.
03
Brief by design
Meaningful progress can happen in a small number of sessions. You don't need to commit to years of work to experience real change.
04
Client-led
Your goals, your values, your pace. Every session is shaped around what matters most to you.
