Nicholas Kettles – Executive Coach and Trainer

Nick Kettles

Coach - Healer - Writer

At the intersection of coaching, developmental psychology and trauma aware somatics, lies the opportunity to compassionately embrace the full expression of our humanity, especially those parts we have marginalised or placed into the shadow.

Whether you are seeking time to reflect on who you truly are at your core; discover your next step in your leadership development journey, or wish to identify clearly how the past still holds you back then I can help.

About Me

I am a Master Certified Coach, and healer of 25 years experience in the human potential movement. In a desire to escape an awkward and painful past, throughout my life, I frequently mistook my own adaptive and often reactive life strategies as evidence of a purposeful existence.

However, today, I find delight in finally moving slow enough to discover that our purpose and indeed our spirituality can be found at the heart of our messy humanity. This is the realisation that guides all my work whether as a coach, trainer, designer or writer.

Success Stories

What I love about the way Nick works is his ability to hold the ‘darker sides’ of human nature with compassion, love, and insight. He has the ability to access the parts of us that hold pain and shame with enormous compassion and find the gift in them so that the hurt softens, and the beauty is uncovered and integrated into the whole. So gentle and so powerful.

“Nick’s experience and combination of intuition and compassion allowed me to safely explore previous patterns and helped me to understand how previous experiences have shaped me. I’m forever grateful for the deepened self-awareness coaching with Nick has given me. It’s resulted in more conscious relationships with those around me and a better relationship with myself.”

Nick has an enviable breadth and depth of knowledge and experience of meditation. Although I had some experience with different techniques, I had no experience of Advaita Vedanta, the technique that Nick taught me. He is a passionate, patient and empowering teacher. Having practised meditation in various guises for most of his life, whilst also providing for his family and excelling in a business role, I really felt that he understood the challenges and questions I had regarding my own practice. He has inspired me to go deeper and as a result my practice is growing from strength to strength. I highly recommend Nick as a meditation and mindfulness teacher.

In addition to being a highly skilled and respected professional coach, Nick brings his warmth, deep presence, humor, creativity, and powerful intuition to every session. As a client, I have grown immeasurably as a person and leader through the work we have done together. As a Meditation teacher, Nick brings so much knowledge and passion to his teaching which was accessible and powerful in bringing me greater self-awareness in work and personal life. The resulting sense of clarity has lessened my experience of stress in my life and helped me with my decision-making.
