How I can help you
We have all looked despondently into our bursting-at-the-seams wardrobes and claimed to have nothing to wear.
My role is to facilitate and support you on a learning path from questioning whether clothes are the right colour and style for you, to having a focused capsule wardrobe, which all works together to suit your colouring, body shape, personality and lifestyle.
You will become equipped with a toolkit of knowledge and skills to be appropriately dressed and making the right impression whatever your career, lifestyle and occasion. Your learning will be liberating and you will achieve empowerment, confidence and the discovery of your true self. You will move from panic buying bargains that you never actually wear to being an efficient shopper, able to identify the colours and styles that work to make you visible, memorable, authentic and authoritative in both the workplace and your personal life. The gains are emotional, practical and financial.
Awareness of the environmental impact and ethical issues of fast fashion is gaining momentum. I help you to buy less but buy better so not only will you love to wear every piece in your wardrobe.
My Story
My House of Colour journey began over 15 years ago, after my sister-in-law returned from a Colour Analysis class looking subtly outstanding. Inspired, I immediately booked in for the next available consultation. At that time, black dominated my wardrobe, so much so that I made a sneaky vow to myself to continue wearing it, even if my colour analysis showed that it isnt a great colour for me. It isnt! I am a paint box Spring, accentuated by warm, light, bright and splashy colours; black made me look older, heavier and unwell. Who wants to look like that?
Along with the subsequent Personal Style consultation, my experience with House of Colour was a personal revelation. I grew from feeling insignificant and a little consumed by being a busy mum and teacher to being confident, visible, authenticated and professionally successful. I never thought it possible. My black clothes were donated to charity without a second thought and clothes shopping became easy, less expensive and more efficient because I knew exactly what to buy to suit my colouring, body shape and personality.
I realised the power of colour and style and I use it to my advantage personally and professionally. I am here to support you so you too can discover the benefits of being visible, being memorable and being your true self. An investment to last a lifetime.

I shifted very quickly from thinking colour analysis was just a matter of opinion about which colours looked good on me to observing the significant impact different colours have on my appearance. I clearly saw the impact different tones of colours have on me both physically and how others may perceive me in those colours, which I had never considered before. It was fascinating and absolutely essential for dressing properly in the workplace.

Dear Nicola,
I would like to thank you so much for the recent colour session. After your recent presentation at BNI I was really wowed by the prospect of knowing what to wear, and having the right clothes in my wardrobe.
You did a great job during your presentation of explaining why we would want to have a colour session and how life would be better after it, I knew I had to book a session. However, I still really didn’t know what to expect and found myself a little nervous on the day. Would it be really cringe? Would it be really girly. Would it mean I had to wear red lipstick every day?? Well it was none of the above!
You really took your time to explain how House of Colour works, the ‘science’ behind the pretty colours and how to use the outputs of your process. But what really blew me away was seeing how the colours worked when you put me in front of the mirror. It is unbelievable! You can really see the difference this makes and now I know why in some tops I just don’t feel “right”. Wearing two of my colours this morning I have had 3 compliments (ok one was from my 5 year old son – you look amazing mummy!) but what a difference a day makes! I would encourage everyone to get this done. It will make a difference to your life and your wellbeing!
Man or woman, please do book a session with Nicola. Nicola, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to individuals or groups.
Thank you so much!
