Erin Nugent

My name is Erin and I am a Master Certified Life Coach.

I was a Police Officer for 9 years, finishing my career as a Detective in the Armed Crime Squad. I previously worked as a Crisis Counselor at a Suicide Prevention Organization and am also married to a fellow First Responder (Fire Fighter) of 20+ years.

I am uniquely aware of the challenges of those roles, the heavy burdens you often carry from all that you see and the duties you must perform. As well as how difficult it can be to support someone you love, who holds a position as a First Responder.

As a Life Coach, I specialize in helping fellow First Responders and Emergency Services Workers, their spouses, partners and loved ones make positive changes and improvements in their relationships and lives. I provide a space for them to work through any difficulties, talk confidentially about their concerns, set goals and support them through the process of achieving those goals.

Other areas I often assist clients with are Relationships, Boundaries, Self Compassion and Self Worth.

I offer a non-clinical approach to helping you overcome any mental health struggles you are facing, by bringing a unique level of understanding, awareness and compassion for what it takes to perform the role of a First Responder, or how challenging it can be to support that person as well.

There can be a certain stigma attached, to engaging in any kind of "help" for many of you; I understand that. You don't want to be perceived as weak, damaged or unable to cope with the job. This is where I come in. As a Coach, you can talk to me, about anything and everything, without fear of judgement, shame, embarrassment or a lack of comprehension and understanding for the things you see and the job you do. Reaching out, speaking up, engaging with someone, and admitting you might need another person to listen and talk things out with you, that actually takes a great deal of strength and courage. There is nothing weak about that.

We all need a helping hand sometimes, I want to be that person for you. For all that you experience, the heavy burdens and traumas you bear witness to, they need an outlet. My promise is "I will hold space for you darkness."

I care passionately about this demographic and am committed to assisting and supporting as many as possible, in my capacity as a Master Certified Life Coach. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I provide complimentary 20 minute consultations. I also offer First Responders and Emergency Services Personnel exclusive discounts. Get in touch to find out further information or to schedule a session.

I look forward to working with you.
