About Nicole
Nicole Jacobson is an AASW social worker with 20 years of practice in Australia. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressure and depression. Nicole draws on lived experience as a parent of children with disabilities to understand everyday strains and caregiving demands.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations to each person. Nicole aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant, not overwhelming or full of jargon.
Nicole has worked in remote Aboriginal communities and has family connections to First Nations people, which informs her awareness of cultural context and community needs. She is familiar with Circle of Security attachment parenting and supports parents who are navigating caring roles.
Over two decades she has helped people cope with compassion fatigue, loss, and life transitions. She also has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, ageing and geriatric concerns, and addiction-related challenges. Nicole writes treatment plans to fit an individual’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
She stresses partnership in sessions: clients’ goals shape the work and pace. Seeking help is a courageous first step, and Nicole aims to empower people as they make changes and rebuild wellbeing.
Evidence-based techniques and online access
Nicole practises using evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One approach focuses on attachment-informed work such as Circle of Security ideas, which help with parenting, attachment concerns and communication in caring relationships. Another strand emphasises brief problem-solving and coping strategies that reduce anxiety and manage stress in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as needed. Together they decide which techniques feel most helpful for the issues at hand rather than relying on a single method.
