About Nordeya
I've been in the rooms you're sitting in.
I've led in the NHS for over two decades, from critical care nursing through to senior leadership, holding space for others in crisis, often at the cost of looking after myself. When a leader tells me they're exhausted, or that they're experiencing the specific distress of moral injury (knowing exactly what their patients or team need, but being systemically unable to provide it), I'm not nodding along politely. I understand it from the inside.
I bring that lived experience together with my EMCC accreditation, my TCM mediation training and my MA in Education. Coaching with me is rigorous and ethically supervised, not just empathetic. It's grounded in a real understanding of how people actually change, not just how they behave on the surface.
My own two decades were in the NHS, but the pattern I coach around isn't unique to healthcare. It's what happens in any role where you're responsible for other people's crises, inside a system that doesn't give you enough back to sustain it. I see it in social work. In education. In emergency services. If that's where you are, you won't need to explain it to me.
I work with people who are ready to invest in themselves, because they know they're capable of more. If that's you, I'd love to talk.
The name Receiving You was inspired by Aleksandra Horwood, founder of a wellbeing academy and a client who experienced Nordeya's coaching before the business existed. She heard Nordeya use the words in conversation and encouraged her to make them the name of the practice.
