Meet Nicole Wallace

Nicole Wallace is a Registered Psychologist at Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology in the Sutherland Shire. She works with children, adolescents and adults, with a particular focus on eating disorders, neurodivergence and supporting adolescents and young adults.

​

Nicole's style is relaxed and down to earth. She understands that coming to therapy can feel daunting, particularly when you are not sure what to expect or where to begin. Her approach is collaborative, taking time to understand what has been happening, what matters to you and what you would like to be different.

 

Nicole works with eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, as well as disordered eating and body image difficulties. She also works with anxiety, perfectionism, low self-worth and emotional difficulties that can occur alongside eating disorders and disordered eating.

 

Nicole works with autistic and ADHD clients around overwhelm, emotional regulation, executive functioning, sensory needs and relationships. Her approach recognises that neurodivergence affects each person differently and focuses on understanding their individual needs and developing practical strategies for home, school, university, work and relationships.

​

Nicole also conducts ADHD and autism assessments for adolescents and adults. Assessments provide a clearer understanding of each person's strengths, differences and individual support needs.

 

Nicole particularly enjoys working with adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression and stress, as well as difficulties with friendships, school, study, work, identity and increasing independence.

 

Nicole is often joined at the practice by Ember, her toy cavoodle. For some clients, having a dog in the room can make appointments feel less daunting or provide something to focus on when talking about difficult things. Ember only attends sessions when clients would like her there, and appointments are always available without her.

Nicole is often joined at the practice by Ember, her toy cavoodle. For some clients, having a dog in the room makes the first appointment feel less daunting, gives them something to focus on while talking about difficult things, or simply makes the space feel more relaxed. Ember only attends sessions where clients have said they would like her there, and appointments are always available without her.

​

Nicole draws on evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills. For clients experiencing eating disorders, she also draws on eating disorder therapy approaches including Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-E) and Family-Based Treatment (FBT).
