Imagine breaking  your mental, emotional & behavioural triggers quickly, because you have the right tools to confidently & smartly handle things? Emotional overwhelm is real. It makes us go into fight, flight survival mode.

My 15-year relationship ended. I lost the music PR business we'd built together. And overnight became a single mum to a 7 year old. So I pivoted and re-invented myself… by retraining as a therapist. Which co-incidentally fast-tracked my own emotional intelligence skills (EQ). 

Today I work with small business owners, entrepreneurs & solopreneurs who want clear focused thinking and greater control over their decision making. 

Because when the owner does the 'inner work' .. the business can grow too. 
Personal Growth = Business Growth. 

Still wondering about Emotional Intelligence (EQ)? It's about deepening:

➜self-awareness 
➜labeling & utilizing emotions (to your advantage)
➜greater listening & empathy skills 
➜tuning into internal motivation & flow
➜leading and building strong human connections

➤Here are some of the challenges I've helped female entrepreneurs with:

TRANSFORMATION ❶
A  business owner had heavy family responsibilities. But wanted to reduce her consultancy work, return to the film industry and complete a commissioned book. However she lacked assertiveness, confidence, and had imposter syndrome. 
After 6 months working together she regained clarity, by re-examining childhood beliefs, values and purpose. She learned to say ‘No’ - reduced her consultancy work, and released the book and a short film.

TRANSFORMATION ❷
A corporate client wanted to start her own cosmetic line. But she sabotaged her efforts with feelings of worthlessness, high anxiety, and an over-achievers mindset. 
After 4 months she got to the root of the unhealthy relationships. Her confidence soared, the anxiety normalised, she launched the cosmetic line, employed part-time staff and started dating. These changes built a strong foundation for her new business.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, or simply asking yourself, "Is this all there is to life?" These feelings can often arise from intense work environments leading to burnout—a condition many of us are familiar with. 

However, there's another, less discussed side of the spectrum called "rust-out." This happens when boredom and a lack of motivation take over, which can be equally damaging.

Evaluating Your Personal Life

Take a moment to reflect on your personal life. On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being amazing and 1 being terrible, how would you rate it? Are you making time for deep, meaningful connections with those who truly matter to you, such as your partner, children, parents, or friends? These connections are crucial for a balanced and fulfilling life.

As an emotional intelligence coach and therapist specializing in stress management, I've developed the "Re-view, Re-charge, Re-energise" framework to help individuals improve their life-work balance. This program focuses on reviewing your current situation, recharging your mental and emotional batteries, and re-energizing your approach to life and work.

Neuroscience shows our brains can adapt and change, which means you can shift how you handle stress. By using recognized psychological tools combined with creativity and humor, I help clients build emotional resilience, clarity, and confidence. These improvements can lead to better handling of business challenges and enhanced personal relationships.

"The Thought Catcher" -  Coach & Therapist 

➤Who I Work With:
I specialize in helping business owners, entrepreneurs and senior executives combat overwhelm, stress, depression, and anxiety. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and solution-focused therapy. I  aim to improve your emotional and mental state in eight weeks or less. 

My experience extends to supporting professionals in demanding roles, to regain life-work balance and enhance their well-being. This includes, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. 

Men often benefit greatly from my practical counseling strategies and life coaching. The relief from restructuring thinking patterns can be significant. 

Unlike women, who may express their emotional struggles more openly, men might display the following coping mechanisms:

irritability
aggression
extreme sports
alcohol, porn, substance abuse
excessive indulgence in work (workaholics)

These behaviors are sometimes misinterpreted as personal choices rather than signs of underlying stress or mental health issues.

The societal expectation for men to "man up" and ignore emotional distress contributes to higher mental health risks, including a suicide rate that is significantly higher among men than women. (75% of men versus 25% women).

This "man up" culture discourages men from seeking the help they need, potentially leading to these tragic outcomes. It's crucial to challenge this norm and recognize that seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. 

By addressing these issues head-on, men can improve their quality of life and prevent the severe consequences of untreated mental health issues.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or low, but you are ready for positive changes, reach out to me. ....Because recovery is possible ...thats if you want better future.

Stress & Anxiety Coach / CBT Therapist 

Buckinghamshire College Group 

As a college therapist counsellor I specialized in helping teenagers  and mature adults (from the age of 17 years upwards)  manage emotional and psychological challenges. 

My work centered on issues related to personal relationships, grief, academic pressures, and enduring mental health difficulties.

Emotional Support for Students Included:

Personal Relationships: I guided students through the complexities of friendships and romantic relationships, focusing on developing communication skills and establishing healthy boundaries.

Grief: I provided support for students dealing with significant losses, helping them express their feelings and develop coping strategies.

Academic Pressure: I taught stress management techniques and organizational skills to help students handle the demands of school without burnout.

Chronic Mental Health Issues: For those with ongoing conditions like anxiety or depression, I offered tailored therapy sessions and coordinated with other health professionals to ensure comprehensive care.

I also provided support for the adults in my student academic support team. This included the following nnual Ssaff training:

Educating Staff: I conducted training sessions to equip staff with the skills to recognize signs of student distress and foster a supportive learning environment.

Stress Management: Training also included self-care practices for staff, enabling them to manage their own stress and better support students.

These efforts not only improved students’ mental health and academic performance but also strengthened the college’s community by creating a more empathetic and supportive atmosphere. 

This holistic approach benefited everyone involved, ensuring that both students and staff felt well-equipped to handle emotional challenges.

Who would say 'no' to interviewing Beyonce (of Destinys Child)? This was a taste of my former life in music & radio PR.

Fast forward to today - I help business owners, entrepreneurs & C-suite executives get psychologically stronger. Because stress & overwhelm means you aren't handling things as well as you used to. 

The result? A return to courage & confidence, better decision making, higher productivity & profits.

Business coaches aren't trained to deal with the root causes of stress, anxiety and overwhelm are they? 

And working with a coach who makes you laugh, and is a qualified psychotherapist makes us a perfect match. But it's essential to break harmful belief patterns, strange behaviours and emotional habits.

So I train your brain to break them!  ...so you can remember why you actually started your business and begin enjoying it again. Because personal growth leads to business growth. 

Are you wondering about the benefits of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) skills? Well it builds greater:

- emotional self awareness (and of other peoples)
- listening & empathy skills 
- ability to tune into motivation & flow states
- human connections

Here are some of the challenges I've helped female entrepreneurs with:

TRANSFORMATION 1: 
A business owner in Tech was experiencing stress, anxiety and overwhelm daily. A toxic combination of relationship, health and business challenges led to procrastination and comfort eating. Netflix & social media became her best friend. 

After 3 months of working together it all changed. She started going to the gym, took on a business coach, increased her team, delegated more, and allowed herself to have more personal and business fun.

TRANSFORMATION 2: 
A business owner had heavy family responsibilities. But wanted to reduce her consultancy work, return to the film industry and publish her book. However she lacked assertiveness, confidence, and had imposter syndrome. 

After 6 months working together she regained clarity, examined childhood beliefs, and her values and purpose. She learned to say ‘No’ - reduced her consultancy work, and released the book and a short film.

TRANSFORMATION 3: 
A corporate client wanted to start her own cosmetic line. But she sabotaged her efforts with feelings of worthlessness, high anxiety, and an over-achievers mindset. 

After 4 months she got to the root of the unhealthy toxic relationships. She launched the cosmetic line.
