Discover, embrace & follow your true nature
Meet Nicki McCosker-Dell
A warm welcome to The Inspiration Couch ❤. I am the founder of The Inspiration Couch and I specialise in providing Holistic Counselling, and Mentoring for Parents and Teens, including my Flourishing Teen Mentoring Program. I have trained over 1000 people in resilience concepts in dozens of workshops, including at Griffith University and The Relaxation Centre of Queensland. I inspire my clients to follow the path of discovering, embracing and following their true nature, and I can support you with;
- realising any goal or dream
- discovering & living your unique purpose
- transforming & letting go of unhelpful or unhealthy habits
- discovering & sharing your unique strengths
- all that you need to feel more resilient in the face of life's challenges
- overcoming depression
- resolve health & wellbeing challenges
- parenting troubles or overwhelm
- grief support
- the challenges of being highly sensitive
- transforming relationship issues
- feeling unsure of how to or unable to move forward with your goal or dream
- the unique challenges of the teenage years
- working through & resolving trauma
- reducing anxiety
- stress management
- creating clarity for a career change, career advancement or study pathways
During a session with me you'll get clearer on what you want from your life, how specifically you can move towards this, how you can experience less stress and have or do more of what you love. Even coming from the darkest of spaces or greatest of challenges, transformation is possible. I am gentle, present, calming and help bring my clients out of stress. I have great capacity to sit with and embrace any kind of raw emotion, vulnerability or challenge that a client is experiencing.
I'm based in Brisbane, Australia, living with my beautiful family including my husband, my son and black Labrador puppy. I currently only provide on-line or phone sessions, and therefore work with clients from all around Australia. I have over 7 years experience as a Mentor, Holistic Counsellor and Workshop Facilitator, and prior to that almost 10 years experience providing highly specialised support for my local community as an Emergency Medical Dispatcher and Peer Supporter working for the Queensland Ambulance Service.
I have many years experience facing and embracing the unique challenges that my life has presented, and it is my passion to support others with their own journey. My training includes;
- Diploma in Counselling
- Masters in Suicide Prevention
- NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
- Energy Psychology
- Foundational Kinesiology
- Touch For Health Level 4
- Food As Medicine
- Resilience Doughnut (Child and Adult)

Client Testimonials
" I was really struggling with a difficult dynamic with my daughters, and felt overwhelmed and felt I'd lost contact with my values amongst all of the stress happening within my family. Nicki was an artful listener, and in one session helped me to realign with my values and get clear on some strategies for facing everything going on in my life ". P.B, Melbourne.
" I have found myself over and over again in bad relationships. It's a pattern I realised I just had to break free from, so I started to see Nicki. I felt quite hopeless at times as I tried to figure out if I could salvage my most recent relationship. It was confusing and lonely, but Nicki helped me to stay true to myself and realise my worth. Thank you Nicki, for helping me to unravel and begin to change this horrible pattern ". A. R. West End, Brisbane.
" I am in the process of transforming my life. My job doesn't satisfy my soul, and I'm doing all I can to be able to leave it and do work that I love. Nicki has helped me to stay optimistic and keep moving forward and hold on to my dream, even when it feels super hard. I also have worked with Nicki on some relationship dramas that are ongoing, and it's helped me to get clearer on what I want and don't want ". K.W, Glenelg, South Australia
" My place of business was ruined in a flood, along with my home. I had a vision to relocate, but a few additional hassles were clouding my thinking and confidence. A few sessions with Nicki helped me to de-frag, vent some of pent up emotion, and get clear again on working toward my vision. I definitely recommend her wonderful services to others ". Sally M, Fig Tree Pocket, Brisbane
" I was referred to Nicki by my GP after the sudden and traumatising death of my partner. I was still very much in shock but knew I wanted to keep my ahead above water while I tried to process my new, unbelievable and distressing reality. Nicki has such empathy and I felt safe sharing all the gritty details of my life. She gave me a few practical ideas to help me get through, and I am grateful I can seek out her support if I need it ". B.D. Toowoomba
" I was struggling with a toxic work environment and I felt I had lost myself and lost connection with my values. After just a few sessions with Nicki I was able to get clarity and a plan for moving forward and for changing my situation. I also was able to come to a level of acceptance with a complex, long term issue I have faced with a family member. Nicki listens deeply, I felt heard and something clicked for me, so that I could move on. I really enjoyed my sessions". S.T. Redcliffe, Brisbane
"I have been working with Nicki for a few months now. I know we still have a lot to work on, but I already feel so much calmer, better. Nicki is honestly such a beautiful human. She radiates serenity and kindness, even over zoom sessions, and she is extremely easy to talk to, to confide in. I know I will be a much improved person after working with Nicki and I am really going to enjoy the journey getting there". - J.T. Murrumba Downs, Brisbane
" Where to start?! I am heading into my third session with Nicki and I honestly can't wait to keep working on myself with her amazing guidance.
Nicki is warm and professional. She balances empathy and healing whilst managing to listen intently and really assist with prioritising what the body is saying.
I am thoroughly enjoying this journey and I trust Nicki to help me discover and overcome any hurdles I face, in order to live the life I deserve and aspire to lead. She helps me feel truly present in moments, both big and small. She is mindful that this can trigger an emotional outpouring - most times involuntarily and is patient throughout the process.
I encourage anyone to contact Nicki and see what it's all about. You won't regret it! ". - A.C. , Brisbane CBD

" I have a goal to start my own business - I'm unhappy in my current work place and have been for some time. I felt a lot of resistance and procrastination toward study, and so felt quite stuck and unable to make any changes to my situation. It turned out that some layers of old trauma were blocking me from being able to think of myself as capable of studying. I was also having some issues with my young son, that again my ability to cope with was being cut off by different unresolved trauma. I had no idea this old stuff was holding me back - I thought I had gotten over it already! I'm now enrolled in a course and can focus on my studies, and I know I will come back to Nicki if more roadblocks show up in my life ". Richard, Townsville Qld.
