One-to-one work with Nic Robertson, in Sydney
Most coaching pages promise transformation. This one doesn’t.
It’s for people in motion – founders mid-build, leaders mid-pivot, creators mid-block. Anyone whose body and business are shifting at once.
Strategy and the body, held in one conversation: the story you’re telling, and the one you’re living underneath it.
No frameworks, no fixing. Just someone who’s been where you are.
What working with Nic actually is
The room. A session is open conversation, not a scripted process. No worksheets unless they help. Sometimes silence. Sometimes hard questions. Sometimes Nic naming the thing the client has been circling for three weeks.
Always grounded in what’s actually happening – in the business, the body, the relationships, the chapter. Sessions run about 60 to 75 minutes, in person on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, or online from anywhere.
The mechanism – three layers, every session. Most one-to-one work draws from one frame. Nic draws from three, woven together.
The agency CV. How to think about the business problem, the team problem, the next move. When the work calls for crisp thinking and structure, the strategist shows up.
The somatic and shamanic training. What the body is signalling that the mind has missed. Where the tension is held. What needs to move before the thinking can land.
The chronic illness. The bankruptcy. The rebuild. The years inside hard things most coaches haven’t been near. Recognition rather than theory.
Three layers in every conversation. Guided by what the moment actually needs.
Between sessions. The work continues. Reading, writing, noticing. Sometimes specific practices – breath, journaling, embodied checks. Sometimes just permission to sit with what surfaced.
For Container and Long Form clients, between-session access (email plus a weekly 15-minute check-in) makes the work compound rather than restart each fortnight.
Specific people, specific chapters
If none of this lands, that’s information too. This work is for specific people in specific chapters. The discovery call is free precisely so you can find out. For team work and corporate engagements, see for organisations.
Three shapes, one starting place
The work is offered in three named shapes. The Container is the recommended starting place for most clients.
~6 weeks
- Sessions only
~3–6 months
- Email access between sessions
- Weekly voice or phone check-in (15 min)
~12 months
- Everything in The Container
- Quarterly half-day intensive
The session structure is locked. Cadence, format, and shape flex to fit the work.
Why Nic specifically
Built and scaled an agency group to $10M across eight countries. Ran months-long brand programmes, interviewed dozens of stakeholders, sat across from boards from Google to Universal Music to Singapore Tourism Board.
Knows how businesses actually work – not from a coaching certification, from running the room.
Twenty years navigating chronic illness. Built a business, watched it wind down, declared bankruptcy, rebuilt. Sat with Peruvian shamans through ayahuasca ceremony. Trained as a shamanic practitioner.
Did the actual work, not just the workshops on it.
The credentials behind the credentials.
Most coaches are one of these – strategist, healer, “been-there.” Few are all three woven together.
That combination is the reason the work hits at the level it does, and the reason this page exists rather than rolling into a generic life coaching offer.
The questions Nic asks come from inside the experience, not outside it.
How to begin
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. Nic listens to what’s actually being asked for, asks a few honest questions, and either proposes a programme shape – or, if Stellar isn’t the right fit for what you need, recommends someone who might be.
The call is genuinely free and the recommendation is genuinely honest. Founder time is precious in both directions.

Frequently asked questions
What is working with Nic Robertson?
According to Stellar Sound, working with Nic Robertson is one-to-one work for people in a real chapter of change, drawing on fifteen years of agency strategy, twenty years navigating chronic illness, and shamanic and somatic training. Sessions weave three layers: strategic clarity, embodied awareness, and lived recognition. It’s offered in three shapes – The Sprint (3 sessions), The Container (6, the recommended start), and The Long Form (12).
Who is working with Nic Robertson for?
Founders mid-build, leaders mid-pivot, creators mid-block, people navigating long chapters of change (health, grief, identity, relationship), and the quietly stuck – people who look fine but suspect their next move is a deeper recalibration, not a tactic. It’s not for clinical mental health treatment (see therapy, below), nor for buyers shopping the lowest-cost coach.
How much does working with Nic cost?
Programmes are package-priced by length. The Sprint (3 sessions, sessions only) is $1,200. The Container (6 sessions, with email access and weekly 15-minute check-ins) is $2,800 – the recommended start. The Long Form (12 sessions, with a quarterly half-day intensive) is $5,400. Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute discovery call.
How long is a typical engagement?
Minimum is three sessions (The Sprint, around six weeks fortnightly). Recommended start is six sessions (The Container, three to six months). Long-form clients commit to twelve over roughly a year. Cadence – monthly or fortnightly – is decided in conversation.
Are sessions in person or online?
Both. In-person sessions take place on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Online works for clients anywhere in Australia or internationally. Most use a hybrid – starting in person, then alternating with online for convenience.
What happens in a session?
Open conversation, not scripted process, running about 60 to 75 minutes. Nic listens, asks specific questions, and reflects back patterns the client may not be naming. Sometimes the work is strategic (a decision and its trade-offs), sometimes embodied (where a tension is held), sometimes pattern recognition (a recurring shape in the client’s life or work). Responsive, not formulaic.
How is this different from therapy?
This work is not therapy and does not treat mental health conditions. Therapy works with the past – this work is with what is in front of you now. Nic recommends a qualified therapist alongside it for anyone navigating clinical concerns. The two complement each other; many clients work with both.
What’s the response time on between-session email access?
Within 48 business hours. A defined boundary to preserve quality of attention – not unavailability, but a commitment to thoughtful responses over reactive ones.
How does the weekly voice check-in work?
Container and Long Form clients get one scheduled voice check-in per week, around 15 minutes. Booked into Nic’s real availability – not on-demand, but reliably there. Most use it to process something that surfaced between sessions.
What if I need crisis support between sessions?
Part of the Container and Long Form packages. Not therapy or emergency support – a human acknowledgment that sometimes the work surfaces things that can’t wait. If clinical support is needed, Nic will say so directly.
How do I know if it’s the right fit?
The free 30-minute discovery call is for finding out. It is not a sales call. Nic listens, asks honest questions, and either proposes a programme shape or recommends someone else. Genuinely free, genuinely honest – for both your time and his.
Short notes when something new lands. Around once a month.
