Coaching
My approach is a combination of positive psychology tools, ACT principles, and Brief Solution-Based coaching. I know how frustrating it is to feel stuck - coaching provides the opportunity to get clarity, create a plan, and take action in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
Whether one focused planning session is all you need, or if you're in a season where regular check-ins are what will move the dial, I offer a no fluff, pragmatic approach that meets you exactly where you are at.
About me
Hi, I’m Nicky Berger.
I’ve represented NZ in a couple of different sports, married Dan, built a robust family farming business, balanced work with community, and navigated growing four strong, resilient kids in a rapidly changing environment.
But I live in the real world too - I've been overwhelmed, ruminated on conversations I've had (and sometimes not had), I've got some things right, and I've got some things wrong. I've grieved. And along the way, I've learnt - about equanimity, about listening, and about what truly matters.
Wanting to do something useful with my 'learnings', I first sought coaching credentials through SIT's graduate coaching programme, and have now found myself pursuing post graduate psychology at Massey University to further ensure that my practice remains robust, ethical, and evidence based.

Testimonials
"Nicky is clear headed and pragmatic, her leadership experience and knowledge are instantly evident. During our coaching sessions, she was able to drill down into the heart of the problem I was facing and add valuable insights to help guide me through and see options that I had not considered. I found the sessions with Nicky to be very valuable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking clarity with their next move, whether personal or in business".
Rachel Strevens, The Passion Project
"Before working with Nicky, I felt like I was juggling too many priorities and unsure where to focus my energy. In just a few sessions, I gained more clarity about my goals, developed a practical action plan and learned how to use tools that actually work. The tools and strategies that Nicky helped me with have helped me stay on track and I'm already seeing real improvements in both my personal and professional life. I'm more organised, confident and focussed than I have ever been and I'm finally making the progress I had been putting off for years".
Scott Bremner
"I had the opportunity to work with Nicky in a coaching session and in just one session, Nicky helped me gain profound clarity around my personal values and a deeper understanding of myself. Her approach was both supportive and non-judgmental, creating a safe space for reflection. Thanks to her insightful guidance, I experienced a breakthrough that has had a lasting impact. I’m very grateful for the experience and the fresh perspective she’s helped me uncover".
