Nicola Vortes
Hello, I’m Nicola Vortes. I work with individuals and teams to deepen self-awareness, reconnect with their innate brilliance, and create impactful change in all aspects of their lives. If you’re looking for change, you’re in the right place.
Self-Leadership Coaching
For people who want to regain control of their life or career.
Learn to master your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours so you can make clear decisions, communicate honestly, and show up for yourself and those who depend on you as a more aligned and authentic version.
Holistic Counselling
For when you need a space, grounded space to untangle what is going on
I use both Coaching and Counselling to help you process your emotions. Practical tools to support your nervous system and take practical steps forward. By working with both your story and your present experience, change becomes embodied promoting real change not just deeper intellectual understanding.
Enneagram Coaching
For deep self understanding through the Enneagram
Using the Enneagram as a map, we explore your core personality patterns, what drives you, how you respond to stress and how you get in your own way. Together we use this awareness to loosen old habits and move you towards your highest potential with more clarity, compassion and confidence.
Talks & Workshops
For teams, leaders and groups who want honest conversations that create change
Talks and sessions on self leadership, emotional intelligence, resilience and the inner work of leadership. Rooted in real experience, not theory alone, and tailored to the culture and needs of your group.
Ways I work with clients
My approach
This is not quick fix coaching or endless talking without change. My work combines depth, honesty and practical action.
COUNSELLING + COACHING IN ONE PLACE
I blend counselling support with clear coaching so you can understand the roots of your patterns, feel what needs to be felt and take grounded steps forward.
MIND, BODY AND NERVOUS SYSTEM
We pay attention to your thoughts, emotions and body signals. You learn how your nervous system responds to stress how it is trying to communicate with you and practical steps to come back to balance.
FROM SELF AWARENESS TO SELF LEADERSHIP
Insight is only useful if it changes something. Together we translate your new awareness into daily choices, habits and boundaries that support the life you were born to lead.
ENNEAGRAM AS A MAP, NOT A LABEL
The Enneagram gives language to your inner world. We use it to loosen old strategies, not box you in.
