"Social Work is Not Self Harm"...
...But is can sure feel like it at times...
Join me in the journey of writing the above book that will support Social Workers globally on the journey from Personal Awareness to Professional Excellence whilst also preparing for the NEW SPACE in social work!
Hey Lovely, I'm Nadine
The soul behind Social Work DISCovery, a Passionate Advocate of transformation in social work and a believer in the power of intentional living!
Let me tell you a story: I landed what I thought was my "dream" job in social work, only to have it undermined by whispers of "she only got the job because she’s Black". That narrative hit hard.
At the same time, my personal life was unraveling, and as someone who struggles with perfectionism, I felt like I was failing at everything. It was a crippling spiral of doubt, burnout, and frustration.
I reached a point where I was sick and tired
of being sick and tired.
Something Had to Change
That’s when I embarked on an intense, intentional journey of self-re-discovery and life re-design.
I packed my bags and moved to St. Lucia—where the sun, sea, and people who looked like me helped me heal. I worked remotely for organisations in the UK, coached people around the world, began writing our book, and laid the foundation for Social Work DISCovery - a Personal Development Academy to inspire and equip social workers to thrive.
Through intense self-investment—both time and money (the two things I once told myself I didn’t have)—I found my confidence, gained clarity on what I wanted, and took intentional steps toward it.
I didn’t expect everything to work out perfectly (life rarely does), but I trusted myself deeply to handle whatever came my way.
Now, I’m committed to helping others do the same. Whether it’s through my upcoming book
"Social Work Is Not Self-Harm"

—one intentional step at a time.

"Social Work is Not Self Harm" Book
A Working title
After years of talking, my ONE THING for 2025 is to
write, publish and launch our book.
The working title is intentionally controversial as it is important we have these conversations about the wellbeing for social workers and have intention/actions to follow through.
Our book will be a guide for social workers on the pathway from personal awareness to professional excellence using the SAVI Approach
Self Aware - Authentic - Valuing - Intentional

This isn’t training.
It's not supervision
It's a non-negotiable pause - in a profession that rarely allows us to breathe.
• This is not annual leave.
• This is not something to feel guilty for.
• This is your CPD.
• This is your professional anchor—your way to stay connected to your humanity, your career, and your mission.

"From Personal Awareness to Professional Excellence"
"Heroic Workshop: Unlocking Clarity and Anti-Fragile Confidence"
"Im a Great Communicator... It's the Rest of Them!"

Testimonials
Coaching
Before I started life coaching with [Your Life Coach Company], I felt stuck and overwhelmed in both my career and personal life. The guidance and support I received were truly life-changing. My coach helped me set clear goals, reframe my mindset.

Facilitation
I've always been a skeptic about coaching, but my experience with [Your Life Coach Company] has been nothing short of extraordinary. The coaching sessions allowed me to explore my inner self, confront deep-seated fears.

Speaking
I was at a point in my life where I felt disconnected from my loved ones, and it was taking a toll on my happiness. [Your Life Coach Company] provided me with the tools to improve my communication and emotional intelligence.
