NEM Counselling for women is a safe space for you to express yourself. You will be accepted and supported no matter what. All sessions are conducted online (Zoom), walk and talk (Elsternwick Park) or via telephone if you'd prefer.

About Nicole
Nicole Edwards Matson is a qualified and experienced counsellor, holding a Postgraduate qualification in Counselling (having previously studied Linguistics and Social Research at Deakin University, Melbourne). She is currently completing her Master of Counselling. Nicole is registered with PACFA and has diverse counselling experience including with eating disorders, bereavement and addictions. She is experienced in both agency and private practice, giving her the tools to work with a diverse range of clients. Her varied life experience means she's well-placed to support women through a variety of challenges. She is non -judgemental, has a gentle approach, is culturally competent and is very much person-centred. Nicole's clients have seen results from her firm belief in their potential. She can guide and support you through life's challenges: caring for your mental health, addressing any difficulties you are having and give you the support you need to adjust to life's challenges .
Nicole was born in the 1970s during Australia's second wave of feminism. She was raised in a culture where beauty standards were considered female virtues: she's happy these ideas are being challenged.
Her career cuts across government, private, and community sectors, with roles spanning social researcher to allied health professional, driven by a lifelong fascination with people and what makes them tick.
The end of a long-term relationship sparked a full reset. Nicole went back to study, reskilled, and jumped into online dating, clocking up more than 100 dates along the way. Through missteps, insight, and growth, she discovered life on her own terms and real contentment before eventually meeting her now-husband.
Nicole understands that everyone’s journey is different, but brings lived experience of separation, loneliness (in and out of relationships), substance use challenges, menopause, and coming to terms with ageing, death, and loss. When she’s not working, she enjoys travelling, cooking, playing very average tennis, and connecting with people from all walks of life.
