Lesley Kerrigan | Emotional Recovery & Nervous System Coaching for Women, Teens & Family Dynamics – Rooted Support for Real Life Transitions. Wirral & Online

Welcome

Support for real-life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and the invisible weight women and teens carry — this is where nervous system relief becomes real-world steadiness.

Support that meets the woman behind the roles. Nervous-system safe coaching, intuitive bodywork - and grounded guidance for young people quietly carrying more than they can say.

Real Life Doesn’t Separate the Mind, the Body, or the Relationships That Shape You — Neither Does This Work.

Most women I work with arrive carrying more than they can name — and they’re done trying to sort it into categories.

Is it burnout? Hormones? Family tension?


Coaching? Mentorship? Therapy-adjacent?

The nervous system doesn’t care. It just wants relief.

This is an integrative space — where coaching, emotional recovery, mentoring, and hands-on care don’t compete, they converge.

We start with your real life: the unseen labour, the quiet unraveling, the moments you almost held your breath instead of setting a boundary.


And from there, we build steadiness — in your body, in your relationships, and in your sense of self.

This isn’t a menu of services.


It’s a grounded way home to yourself.

Who I Work With — and Why It’s Different Here

Most of the women I work with aren’t falling apart — they’re just carrying more than anyone sees, including what their children can’t say and what their families don’t know how to name.

You’re not here because you’ve failed.


You’re here because you’ve carried things no one else could — and now your system is asking you to stop doing it alone.

My work meets women and teens at emotional thresholds.


The moments when language falls short, when coping isn’t working anymore, and when the body starts saying what the mind has been trying to override.

Whether you come in for coaching, mentorship, or just the sense that something needs to change — this space is built for integration, not fragmentation.

I don’t separate nervous system care from emotional overwhelm.


I don’t split teen support from family dynamics.


And I don’t treat your process like a checklist.

Here, we listen for the root.


We work with the body, the emotions, and the relationships that shaped you.


And we choose methods that meet you where you actually are — not where you “should” be by now.

You don’t need to explain everything perfectly.


You just need a space that knows how to listen beneath the surface.

That’s what we do here.

Four Pathways into This Work:

Not every woman needs a programme. Not every teen needs a diagnosis. These are grounded, flexible entry points — designed to meet you where your system actually is.

The Unfolding — Coaching for Women

A 12-week journey for high-functioning women who are done performing peace and ready to live from a place that feels real.

You won’t be given worksheets or pep talks — you’ll be witnessed. Held. And gently challenged to return to yourself.


This is where emotional recovery begins, nervous system patterns shift, and identity starts to realign.


The Pattern Breaker Session — One-Off 90-Minute Coaching

For the woman who doesn’t need a programme — just a pause that actually lands.


This 90-minute session is a powerful interruption to the cycle of coping. You’ll leave with clarity, regulation, and something rarer: your own voice, heard again.

A potent standalone, or the soft beginning of deeper work.

Support for Young People + Families

Heart-led, practical support for teens moving through pressure, emotional overwhelm, or transitions no one’s quite named yet — including neurodivergence and identity shifts.

Sessions meet young people where they are, while helping parents regulate themselves and relate with more steadiness.

This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about relational repair that lasts.


Therapeutic Bodywork — Hands-On Support for Nervous System Relief

For those who need to start in the body — or want hands-on care as a co-regulating companion to deeper emotional work.

These aren’t “treatments” in the wellness sense.


They’re grounded, intuitive sessions that meet hormonal shifts, emotional weight, and nervous system fatigue without requiring words.

Touch can be the first language your system understands.


And when it’s what you need — it’s always here.



The Women This Work is For

You’ve been the strong one.


The steady presence.


The one who keeps it all moving — even when something in you is quietly asking: when do I get to stop?

This isn’t a crisis.


It’s a slow erosion of self beneath roles, responsibilities, and the pressure to hold it all.

You’re emotionally intelligent — but insight alone isn’t shifting the tension in your chest.


You’ve done the inner work — but you’re tired of it being all on you.


You’re deeply aware — but no one’s ever met that depth without trying to fix it.

My work is for the woman who is quietly done performing resilience.


For the one who wants to be deeply heard — not managed.


For the one who knows who she is, but has never been fully met in it.

Here, there’s no pressure to transform.


No timelines.


No performance.

Just a place to exhale.

And, by the way - You don’t need to collapse to qualify for care.


To be met in your nervous system.


To return to your inner steadiness — one grounded session at a time.

And if you’re a mother or carer, this work naturally extends to the young people you hold. I support both — because nervous systems are never isolated.


Support for Teens Who Feel Everything and Don’t Know Where to Put It

You’re the one who seems fine.


You go to school. You show up. You get things done.


But inside, it feels like your brain won’t switch off — and no one really gets it.

You’re tired of talking when it doesn’t help.


Tired of holding things in because you don’t want to upset anyone.


Tired of not knowing why you feel the way you do.

This isn’t therapy.


And it’s not a place where you have to perform feelings to get help.

This is a space that reads between the lines.


That pays attention to the part of you that’s holding it all in.


That lets you move at your pace — with someone who isn’t trying to fix, pressure, or parent you.

You don’t need to figure everything out.


You just need somewhere that gets how much you’re holding.

And if your parent or carer is in this space too — that’s intentional. My work supports both teens and adults, because emotional recovery is relational.



Life Coaching & Mentoring for Young People

‘The Unfolding’ — 12-Week 1:1 Coaching

A steady, private space to unravel what’s no longer working — and rebuild from what’s quietly true.

‘The Pattern Breaker’ — One-Off 90-Minute Session

For when you need clarity now. A pause that cuts through the noise and brings you back to yourself.

Monthly 1:1 Sessions

Ongoing Pattern Breaker sessions for women continuing the work at a gentle, sustainable rhythm.

Mentoring for Young People — 60-Minute 1:1s

Emotionally intelligent support for teens navigating pressure, identity shifts, or emotional overload — without being labelled or rushed.

1:1 Gentle Integration of Therapeutic Bodywork

For those who feel it in their body before they can name it — or who simply want support without needing to explain — hands-on therapies are always available. This includes intuitive reflexology for menopause, pre-conception, and maternity care, emotionally grounding facials, EFT/tapping, and gentle support through Bach Flower Remedies. These are not surface-level treatments. They’re co-regulating companions to the deeper work — or a soft, steady place to begin.

Touch can say what words can’t.


And sometimes, that’s exactly what your system needs.

"All you can do for another person is be an 'environment' in which, if they wanted to come up for air, they could."
