Nicole Ashby is a dedicated and enthusiastic psychologist, who consistently achieves positive outcomes for her clients, families, and schools.

Nicole completed a Masters degree in educational neuroscience at Harvard University, bringing back to New Zealand a highly specialised understanding of educational and neuropsychological assessment and interventions.

Nicole has adapted internationally recognised theory and best practice to the New Zealand context, developing a quintessentially Kiwi style of working collaboratively with children, whanau, and their school communities to develop science-based yet practical and accessible plans for meeting the unique needs of each child or young person.

Within her working relationships with children and young people, whanau, and educators, Nicole fosters a tangible sense of safety, ease, and empowerment.
