Back From the Brink

A 3-month Transformative Coaching Programme for leaders and high-achievers who are exhausted, overwhelmed - and ready for change.

How much longer do you think this can go on for? 

You’re brilliant at what you do — but it’s coming at such a cost.

You’re running on empty.
Saying yes when you want to say no.
Firefighting, not leading from the front.
Holding it all together on the outside… while you're quietly losing yourself on the inside.

You're no longer thinking as clearly as you were before.

Decisions are harder to take.

You doubt yourself.  

It's taking a toll on your family. Your friends. Your sense of self. 

You’ve convinced yourself you've just got to push on through.

But deep down, you know:
This isn’t sustainable.

It's ok.  You're not alone...

It's time to rise up from the chaos

You don’t need to keep pushing until you break.

You don’t need to hold it all together on your own.

 

Back from the Brink is a transformational coaching programme for high-achievers who are ready to stop firefighting and start living - with purpose, strength, and clarity.  I’ll help you  to rise up from the chaos and finally make the changes you’ve been too busy - or too overwhelmed - to face.

 

Together, we’ll build the strength and resilience to handle whatever challenges come your way.  You’ll develop practical, personalised burnout prevention strategies to manage stress and pressure - without sacrificing your sanity or your sense of self.  You'll learn to put your wellbeing first. You’ll remember your greatness.  And you’ll start showing up as the best version of yourself - in your work, your relationships, and your life.

Your Personal Roadmap

Coaching is all about change.  Identifying what's specifically not working and developing a plan for what will. Your situation will be unique and your journey your own, but I offer a structured pathway to guide you in the process of unpacking it.  Through a series of weekly or bi-weekly 1-2-1 sessions over 3 or 6 months, we cut through the chaos of the day-to-day and put you firmly back in the front seat of your life.  

The programme covers three phases:
