A former soldier from Dagenham is set to launch his new online coaching business for veterans to ‘change as many lives as possible’.
Nicky Morris served as a lance bomber in Iraq and Afghanistan with the 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery, but left the army in 2012 to care for her father, Raymond.
He hopes to launch a new business in the coming weeks, hosting one-on-one Zoom sessions with new clients while promoting his website and associated e-book online.
The 12-week program it will offer is an opportunity for veterans to “discover their values, find their purpose…and build their goals around what they really want to do.”
Nicky says he will help veterans ‘recover your identity, find your purpose and live a fulfilling life’
The 33-year-old said he felt ‘lost’ after leaving the military aged 24 and described a ‘huge journey of self-development’ where he was kicked out of his council-owned home, was relocated and worked to save money for years before moving. in the frame.
“That’s where I felt lost…I was working 13-14 hour days for someone else and it wasn’t aligned with my own values…then I discovered coaching.
“I always wanted to work for myself and build my own life instead of just going to work and working for someone else.”
Nicky said coaching is about helping the client stay “in the present” and meeting their human needs such as confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
“We have a number of human needs that need to be met, you have a lot of those needs met when you’re in the forces, like a sense of belonging, self-esteem.
“When you serve Queen and country you are part of something bigger than yourself, but when you leave you lose a sense of belonging.”
Nicky completed a 15 week coaching course in 2021 to become certified and is also training to become a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner to help veterans battling PTSD.
Pricing for the program will be decided during each introductory call with a client, Nicky said.
It comes after Nicky came to The Post in 2015 to talk about her housing issues.
