Do you find yourself constantly rushing, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to switch off at the end of the day?

There are days when joy feels easy to spot: a warm drink, a kind message, a laugh at the right moment, a small job finished. On other days, it can feel hidden behind worry, self-criticism or the sense that we are falling behind. The important thing to remember is this: joy is not always a dramatic feeling. Sometimes it is a direction of attention.

Stress is now one of the biggest challenges facing UK workplaces. It affects energy, focus, confidence, communication and performance — and when it is left unchecked, it can quickly lead to absence, burnout and disengagement.

In today’s fast-paced professional world, burnout at work doesn’t happen overnight. It builds gradually—through constant demands, unclear priorities, and a sense that everything is urgent.

...one of the behaviours expected of employees of a well-known high street building society.  Particularly helpful for those that are neurodivergent, making it easier for members to co-create success. 

That's me in the photograph, the one all the way up there.  I used to be scared of heights but as part of my Traumatology training I attended EFT training (Level 1 and Level 2) and I no longer worry about heights, or spiders actually (which was my other great fear).   Commonly referred to as "tapping", I use EFT with clients when we notice that they are stuck on their developmental journey.  It might be working through emotions such as overwhelm, anxiety, anger - everyday unwanted emotions that become cognitive distortions that hold people back from time to time.  

August 2025 brought some major changes: I completed my time working with the NHS, and with that comes a real sense of freedom to embrace whatever comes next—more about that below. I also achieved my ADHD coaching certification, a formal recognition of the extensive experience I’ve gathered coaching over the last 20 years or so.

Our emotions are shaped by three systems: threat, drive, and soothing (Professor Paul Gilbert). Balanced interaction among these systems supports wellbeing.

Coaching is a creative and inspiring journey—an engaging dialogue where you, as the client, take centre stage. In this safe and supportive space, you’re encouraged to explore new perspectives and unlock fresh possibilities.

If you feel constantly anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted—even when life looks “fine” on the surface—you may be experiencing nervous system dysregulation.
