My books

I've written over 100 books and won many awards, most recently the School Library Association's Outstanding Contribution to Information Books.

Speaking

“She is an excellent public-speaker”
“I would have loved to have much longer”
“the best INSET I can remember”

"Nicola is a superb speaker. Each topic is well researched with current and relevant information for the intended audience, whether it be for students or parents."

"The staff body learnt a great deal, but, perhaps even more importantly, they were forced to think and to reflect. This session changed outlooks and reshaped some of our practice. Very impressive."

"refreshingly free of psychobabble"

"…genuinely the very best CPD I have ever attended – absolutely focused on the issues we are dealing with in school right now and perfect for sharing with colleagues, pupils and parents."

"It is really difficult to put into words how powerfully we felt your message"

Teaching materials

My popular materials are used in schools all over the world to teach wellbeing and boost learning for life. Perpetual licences make them exceptional value.
