I have always been curious about life's existential questions

How our experiences, the choices we make, and the life stages we go through shape us, and why we sometimes lose direction even when everything looks right on the outside.

About Nora

I was born in Cork, Ireland, with two philosophy professors as parents, which has deeply influenced me.

I have always sought meaning, connection, and understanding – both within myself and in the world around me.

I have lived in several countries, changed careers, made new choices in relationships, and gone through periods where I have had to re-evaluate direction and priorities.

I love this work – it brings me great joy to see you find your way back to clarity, strength, and courage.

Before starting my own business, I gained over 15 years of experience leading projects and teams in various organizations. I have been responsible for progress, structure, and results – but always with people at the center.

I am a proud mother of two girls and lead an active lifestyle.

VALUES

These are the core values that underpin Nora Clarke Coaching’s practice.

Courage

Finding space to choose, adjust, and forge your own path, even when it is challenging.

Integrity

Living in alignment with your own values creates inner security. I support you in finding your compass again.

Presence

A safe and calm presence makes it easier to hear your own voice. This is the foundation for how Nora listens and creates space for you.

Nora Clarke is a trustworthy and skilled coach who contributes to increased awareness, mastery, and inner strength in the women she works with. Her presence and work have been a valuable addition to the community at Kvinnehelsehuset
