About Urban Wellness
Urban Wellness is an online nutrition and functional medicine clinic specialising in mental health and eating disorders for midlife women. Founded through lived experience, the practice was created from a deep belief that true healing goes far beyond quick fixes or symptom management. Every client is met where they are—with compassion, evidence-based science and practical guidance—to help uncover and address the possible root causes of mental and emotional imbalance.

Meet Nicola
I’m Nicola Shubrook, founder of Urban Wellness and a registered nutritional therapist, functional medicine practitioner and health journalist. After my own struggles with anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD in my twenties, I retrained to specialise in the intersection between nutrition, mental health, trauma, hormones and gut health.
I now work primarily with women with chronic depression, antidepressant withdrawal support, midlife women with prior eating disorder histories and complex health histories, blending clinical expertise with lived experience so clients feel seen, understood and truly supported.
Meet the rest of the Urban Wellness Team
Urban Wellness is led by a small, specialist team of BANT-registered Nutritional Therapists, each with their own areas of interest and expertise. What unites us is our shared commitment to:
• Person-centred, non-judgemental care
• Functional medicine and root-cause thinking
• Trauma-aware, neurodiversity-affirming practice
• Clear, practical support that fits real life
Our Wider Multi-Disciplinary Network
Many of the people we work with benefit from support that goes beyond nutritional therapy alone. When needed, we can collaborate with a trusted network of psychotherapists, hypnotherapists and other mental health professionals to ensure you have the right team around you. This may include:
• One-to-one psychotherapy or counselling
• Trauma-focused therapeutic approaches
• Cognitive hypnotherapy
• Specialist eating disorder support
Where appropriate, and always with your consent, we liaise with your wider care team—including GPs, psychiatrists and therapists—so your support feels joined-up, consistent and safe.
