Nicole Mathesion

Nicole Mathieson is a Brisbane based counsellor and couple therapist, has a couple of podcasts and is the author of “The Beauty Load, How to feel enough in a world obsessed with beauty.” Her relatable and big-hearted wisdom sees her explore personal and intimate topics that many others dare not speak about.  As a counsellor, Nicole has seen the Beauty Load doing its self-esteem stealing damage in real time as she helps her clients grapple with not feeling good enough to love and be seen. As a flat chested, red headed, freckle faced woman, Nicole has felt it too, and intimately knows the negative thinking and the cascade of insecurities that follow. And as a mother, Nicole remains deeply concerned about what the unavoidable bombardment of beauty messaging is doing to her children.  Through sharing her struggles, Nicole hopes to empower others to feel confident, worthy and secure enough to step into intimate, loving relationships with themself and others. The Beauty Load is her first book.
