I’ve been working closely with Nicola for several months to design, build and implement a PSP for people living with lupus. At the heart of the PSP is a health coaching service which helps patients to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to self-manage their condition in the long-term. Nicola has taken the lead in creating this coaching service and I’ve been very impressed by the high quality of her work, professionalism and teamwork skills. Nicola’s deep expertise in health psychology has enabled us to create a service which delivers real value to patients and HCPs.
I have worked with Nicola when developing digital solutions for people living with different diseases. Nicola has been great with both bringing insights on health behaviours to the team as well as helping the team translate those insights into tangible actions. I particularly appreciated her flexibility as we evolved our thinking and her deep involvement and genuine excitement being part of these projects.
I’ve worked with Dr Nicola Davies for many years. She has helped us review our content from a behavioural perspective regarding Money Guidance, for both adults and young people. She’s someone I know I can rely on to provide insightful feedback in a professional manner.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Nicola and cannot recommend her highly enough. Nicola is driven, committed, flexible and extremely talented. Not to mention being a wonderful human.

Hoping to work with you again soon!
