A short, powerful space for women who’ve built their life on survival

and are quietly reaching the edge of it.


Coaching for high-performing women who are done holding everything together alone.

Supporting women across the Wirral, Cheshire, Merseyside and online.


Would you like to release the emotional load your body learned to carry around your mother, and finally feel free from the pressure to hold everything together alone?

This is where we begin.

You’ve tried to figure it out.

Read the books. Held everything together.

And you’re still wondering why it feels like one more small thing might break you.

You're not failing.

You're just carrying a life that was built on coping — not support.

And your body knows it.

This isn’t a mindset issue.

This isn’t a lack of gratitude.

This is what happens when survival becomes a lifestyle.

You’re not looking for another mindset coach.

You want someone who sees straight through the competence — and knows how to work with what’s underneath it.

This isn’t about giving you more tools you won’t use.

This is about giving you space to lay some of it down.

If you’re:

Emotionally exhausted from always being the strong one

Quietly resentful and perhaps deeply lonely

At capacity, but still performing

Snapping over small things but apologising for the cracks

Afraid of what will happen if you stop — but already breaking from holding too much...


Then this work was built for you.

'The Unfolding'


In the first couple of sessions, we’ll untangle who you’ve had to be — so you can finally start becoming the version of you who moves from self-trust, not self-sacrifice.


A high-touch, trauma-informed coaching container for women who’ve carried it all — and are ready to stop carrying it alone.

This isn’t therapy.

This isn’t mindset work.

This is repair.

We go to the root.

The nervous system.

The internalised roles.


The inner voice that still sounds like someone else.

We soften the strategies that once kept you safe — but are now keeping you stuck.



If holding it together is the only thing holding you back, maybe it’s time to lay it down — not because you’re weak, but because you were never meant to carry this much alone. The competence. The silence. The constant anticipation of everyone else’s needs. It’s not your identity — it’s a strategy. And even the most well-worn strategy deserves to rest.


THE PROCESS: FOUR PHASES. ONE DEEP RETURN.

No pressure to “complete” — we move with your pace, your nervous system, your life.

Phase 1 - Stabilise & Befriend the Body


We build capacity in your nervous system so you can:

Rest without guilt

Respond instead of react

Say “I need…” without shutdown or shame

Recognise the difference between calm and collapse

You’ll learn trauma-sensitive, portable regulation tools you can use in the middle of a meeting, school run, or Sunday lunch with family.

Phase 2 - Meet the Parts & Rebuild Inner Safety


We meet the internal cast you’ve been performing with:

The hyper-competent one

The critic

The peacekeeper

The little girl who had no choice but to cope

Not to fix them — but to honour their positive intent.


Then we reshape the voice inside you — not as a critic, but as a steady, protective presence that finally lets you rest.

Phase 3 - Repattern the Behaviour


Because you don’t just want insight — you want your actual life to change.

Here’s where we bring the internal work into your daily decisions:

Saying no without explanation

Doing “enough” instead of perfect

Making space in your calendar

Dropping the performance

Letting rest be part of your rhythm


Redefining success in a way your body recognises as safety, not pressure

Phase 4 - Integrate, Lead & Leave a Legacy


You create your I Am Enough blueprint:

How you work

How you rest

How you speak to yourself under stress

How you lead, parent and relate without defaulting to over-functioning

How you interrupt patterns — without burning out trying to fix them


This is the quiet return to the woman behind the mask — steady, resourced, and finally living a life that feels her own.

What's Included


This is not “more to do.”


This is a container that supports your system, not strains it.

Weekly 90-min VIP 1:1 sessions (Wirral-based or online)

Trauma-informed coaching, nervous system work and parts-based reflection

Between-session voice-note support (WhatsApp/Telegram)


Regulation tools for your real life: breathwork, tapping, boundaries, rituals


Custom embodiment practices you can use anywhere


Celebration tracking for even the smallest shifts


Progress you can feel — not perform


What Changes - For Real


You stop holding your breath.

You stop breaking over nothing.

You stop parenting yourself with punishment.

You feel more regulated in your body.

More boundaried in your relationships.

More centred in your decisions.

More emotionally available to yourself.

You keep your ambition — but lose the compulsion.

You no longer need a crisis to access softness.


You’ll start to feel what it’s like to be supported without needing to perform. We’ll slow the pressure, steady your body, and make sense of the quiet overwhelm that success never solved.

Why this works


Maybe you’ve read the books.

Maybe you’ve followed the threads of your patterns in conversations or podcasts.

Maybe you’ve thought about therapy — or even started it — but didn’t feel like it reached the places you needed it to.


Or maybe you’ve simply carried on, holding it together, because stopping never felt like an option.

This work isn’t about having done it all.


It’s about being ready to do what finally helps.


Because the truth is:

You’re not stuck because you haven’t tried hard enough.

You’re stuck because no one ever showed you how to feel safe in your body, supported in your relationships, and steady in your own life.

No one ever helped you unlearn the internalised roles that kept you surviving — but are now keeping you small.


Would you like to step out of the roles formed by the mother wound, and finally feel free from the guilt and responsibility that have followed you into every relationship? This is where we begin.


Why Women Trust Me


Because I see what they’ve been carrying — and I don’t flinch.

Because I don’t rush their process.

Because I know how it feels to be the one who anticipates everything and asks for nothing.

Because I’ve lived the hyper-competent role — and walked my way back to calm.

I’m based in the Wirral, work with clients across Cheshire, Merseyside and online, and offer the kind of emotionally intelligent coaching that feels like exhale — not homework.


What Comes Next


You don’t need to collapse to begin.

You don’t need the perfect words.

You don’t need to keep living like this.


Start with a 90-minute clarity session.


It’s where we map your patterns, name your needs, and feel what your next chapter could actually look like — without the pressure.

Or book a 12-week container when you’re ready to go deeper.


This is your return to steadiness.


And I’ll be here to walk it with you.

'Clarity Session' 90 min Session

The 90-minute Clarity Session is where we slow everything down — so you can hear yourself again.

We map what’s actually going on beneath the overwhelm, name the roles you’ve been performing to stay safe, and start to gently untangle what’s yours to carry and what never was.

It’s not surface-level insight — it’s the kind that lands in your body and lingers.

This session is also a felt experience of how I work.

No pressure, no performative breakthroughs — just steady, attuned support that meets you exactly where you are.

Whether we continue into a full coaching container or not, you’ll leave this space with greater clarity, a softened nervous system, and a deeper sense of what’s possible when you stop navigating it all alone.

Coaching for Young People

Support for Young People + Families

For young people navigating pressure, pace, and the quiet overload no one sees — and the families trying to meet them with all the best intentions.

Underneath the quiet compliance, the silence, the outbursts, or the shutdown — something else is speaking.

So many young people are carrying more than they can articulate: anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, emotional dysregulation, sensory sensitivity, a sense of not belonging. They feel unseen, even in homes full of love. This work doesn’t fix them — it helps them feel safe in themselves again.

I offer calm, grounded support for teenagers and young adults navigating emotional challenges, identity exploration, social pressure, or neurodivergent experience — and for families ready to support them with presence, not pressure.

This isn’t academic mentoring or behaviour management. It’s not about performance, productivity, or forcing conversations. It’s one hour a week where they can breathe. Where their nervous system can soften. Where they are allowed to just be.

Sessions are 1:1, one hour, in person or online.

Investment: £60 per session (initial 6-week block recommended)

I am DBS checked and hold over 20 years of experience supporting young people across junior, high school, SEN and hospital school settings — including working with refugee children and young people with complex needs. I am a qualified mentor, coach and educator.

This offer can stand alone or act as a gateway to deeper support.

Because when a young person feels emotionally safe, the whole family begins to shift.

We can begin with a free 15-minute call - A gentle space to explore if this is the right support — no pressure.

If you’ve been holding it all — the plans, the pressure, the pretending — and something in you knows it can’t keep going like this, this work is for you.

You don’t need to be in crisis. You don’t need the perfect words. You just need a safe space to unravel what’s no longer working, and rebuild from something steadier.

That’s what we do here.
