The Skin & Beauty Clinic

About Us

Meet the team!

We opened the ‘The Skin & Beauty Clinic’ in January 2018 by combining Monica’s ‘Skinpathy’ business and Nicola’s Beauty Business under one roof. Together we have over 40 years in the beauty industry and we each bring our specific skills and expertise.

Monica is a graduate in Biology from University College London and in Health Sciences & Homeopathy from the University of Westminster and has worked in the pharmaceutical industry and natural therapy sector. She retrained as a Beauty Therapist in 2007 and over the years continued training to achieve Level 4 degree module in Laser and Pulsed Light Technologies (2011), Level 4 Advanced Electrolysis Cosmetic Treatments (2016), and Level 5 ‘Laser Safety Officer’ (2019). In November 2016 Monica passed the prestigious BIAE entry exam (British Institute & Association of Electrolysis) and in March 2021 she was elected to sit on the Board of the BIAE, which is a real honour and a role she takes to heart. Since February 2018 she has been accredited with MASCED UK for the early detection and prevention of skin cancer and melanoma and updates her training annually. Most recently Monica has trained in laser tattoo removal and benign pigmented lesions. Monica is also passionate about natural skincare and has developed her own range called ‘De Bella‘ which is named after her family’s heritage in skincare from Italy.

Nicola has been a beauty therapist for almost 30 years and has trained with the internationally accredited CIBTAC and BABTAC programs, and used to be a beauty therapy trainer. She has completed the ‘Master Level’ Dermalogica training and regularly updates her skills and knowledge. Nicola is a qualified make up artist and has experience in professional bridal and event make up. She loves giving make up lessons and most recently has been working with the British ‘skincare-make up’ brand Delilah. She only chooses the best products for her clients and is a real perfectionist about her work. Nicola is passionate about all aspects of beauty therapy and has been working with beauty apprentices for a number of years and liases with New College Durham. In 2019 Nicola completed the advanced microblading training and she is very passionate about helping clients achieving their ‘best brows’.

Georgia started training and working with Nicola since she left school in 2016. Georgia is fully qualified to Level 3 and is a true lash extension specialist. She has recently undergone the advanced training to deliver the latest and most up to date techniques. Her mastery allows her to custom choose which types of lash extension and styles will best suit her client’s wishes and needs for a natural but stunning look. Georgia has also trained extensively with Dermalogica, and has been training in laser treatments with Monica. She loves doing nails and nail art and is extremely passionate and meticulous about her work.

Morgan is our newest member of the team and initially joined us for a placement. She is fully qualified to level 3 and is a very skilled massage therapist. Morgan loves all aspects of beauty therapy and is undergoing training regularly including in lash extensions.

Jess is our resident ‘social media guru’ and we couldn’t do this without her! She has recently completed a Master’s Degree in marketing and social media and has helped us immensely over the last couple of years with her wonderful posts and creativity. Jess also helps us by booking clients and responds to queries via our Facebook page.

Our ultimate aim is to deliver that ‘feel-good and look-good’ factor using the best technologies, skincare and techniques out there.

We are always happy to ‘talk skin and beauty’ and pride ourselves in our welcoming and friendly approach. Please do not hesitate to Contact Us with any questions or to book your FREE Consultation.

We look forward to meeting with you soon!

Monica, Nicola, Georgia, Morgan and Jess xx

    "After my first laser carbon peel think that my skin is definitely smoother and very soft and not sure whether my imagination or not but less fine wrinkles! Tonight it still feels really well hydrated. Thank you so so much....I feel like I have had a proper treat!" and "24 hrs later I think my skin was definitely looking nicer. The skin over the bridge of my nose was very dry ( it usually is ) but way smoother than normal so definitely made a difference!" 29/02/20

    "I had the most wonderful facial with Monica. The products she used smelt and felt fabulous, and at one point I think I fell asleep, it was the most relaxing hour ever! My skin honestly GLOWED for days afterwards. Thankyou!" 06/03/19

  • Sue W.

    "Very happy with my appointment with Monica for a skin tag removal. She explained everything thoroughly beforehand and did an excellent job of removing it. I’m very pleased with the results". 25/11/19

  • Kelly R.

    “Most certainly recommended Monica’s services. I've been getting laser treatment for the redness in my skin on my face from Monica. Amazing results and such a lovely lady doing it. Very thankful and happy with the treatment received!” 28/05/19

  • Marie

    “Monica was highly recommended to me by a former GP who had used her services. Since then I have had three separate treatments and I am so happy with the results. I found Monica to be extremely professiona, meticulous in her work and the results delivered exceeded my expectations. I would, without question, recommend Monica to others and have done so already”. 21/02/19

  • Pauline

    "I saw Monica, a lovely lady, for removal of brown spots, skin tags and moles from my face. Felt at ease and confident that she cared and not just trying to get more money. She charged accordingly, treatment wasn’t too painful with very good follow up and no scarring. I am very happy with the outcome and wish I’d had the courage to do it sooner. Wouldn’t hesitate to see her again if I need further treatment". - 29 Dec 2018

  • Kelly C

    “Monica was recommended for removal of small milia and she didn’t disappoint, very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend and use again. Procedure was painless and there is no scarring at all. Great follow up too.” - 19 Dec 2018

  • Joan C

    After years of receiving a variety of treatments for the warts on my hands, most of which were both costly and painful, Monica has finally come to the rescue.  After the treatment that Monica has provided the warts are disappearing. Whilst not without some pain, the treatment has felt far less invasive and that it was administered in a caring and empathetic way.  I can’t thank Monica enough. After feeling resigned to putting up with them, the warts are mostly gone. If anyone is experiencing similar issues I would recommend Monica.  She provides an effective and more affordable treatment which is provided in a caring and reassuring way. Thank you Monica. - 29/01/18

  • Laura W

    My skin is perfect and results are great as always from all types of hair removal I have had.  You are fantastic at what you do I love coming to see you, you are so professional but a really lovely person and a friend to me. - 04/12/17

  • Claire W

    Monica is absolutely lovely and takes the utmost care when delivering her treatments. I'm really pleased with the results of IPL on my legs and bikini line. Also, her De Bella Natural skincare products are totally fabulous! All round fantastic service!! - 30 June 2016
