Therapeutic support for humans in business
Therapeutic support for humans in business
Relentless pressure, navigating risk, exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix, constant 3am wake ups, fractious office dynamics with a team member, the exhaustion of always being "on," chronic low-grade anxiety even when there is no immediate reason, imposter syndrome despite all the success, the loneliness of leadership, feeling trapped in a career or identity that no longer fits, disconnection from purpose and meaning, resentment building quietly, fear of failure or being found out, difficulty switching off, hypervigilance, the hollow feeling of achieving everything you aimed for and still not feeling happy or enough.
"chronic low-grade anxiety even when there is no immediate reason"
You’re delivering on all the metrics, constant AI integration targets, rolling month-end metrics, latest KPIs and performance indicators; you shoulder and meet diligently, but the pressure never stops… ever!! You push through the fear (that you can't admit to anyone), the racing heart, shallow breath and dodgy stomach, but over the last 12 months something has been drained, and you're starting to run on empty. The holiday hasn’t fixed the anxiety; the new protocol or app did for a bit but has faded; fear of failure is starting to catch up with you…. Maybe success has meant you have to become someone else, and you have shaved off parts of you to fit the brief, but underneath it unhappiness bubbles…or the feeling inside is starting to feel deeply uncomfortable.
"the pressure never stops… ever!! "
Investing in therapy is a commitment to your health and your future. My goal is to help you lead authentically as a more integrated human, clearer, calmer, and more connected in your relationships, at work, and in your body.
Why invest in therapeutic support?
In the corporate world of ultra-independence, secrecy, emotional repression, disconnection, and zero vulnerability, therapy can be an empowering tool that drives change by helping you understand your thoughts, emotions, and reactions to constantly shifting targets, situations, difficult people, and uncertainty. It helps you come into relationship with your mind-body connection, which is difficult to navigate on your own. It provides a rare space to be honest and open about how hard business can be and the cost it exacts on all aspects of your life. A space for you to admit, own, and face truths that are hard to say to anyone.
"It is a place where old patterns can be safely uncovered, made conscious, and gently replaced"
In the presence of a patient, finely tuned listener, your scattered thoughts can begin to make sense. It is a place where old patterns can be safely uncovered, made conscious, and gently replaced, allowing you to meet yourself and those you work with with more clarity, compassion, and curiosity, even in the crunch of delivery. Ultimately, over time, therapy can help you increase your window of tolerance, develop greater agency and autonomy over your emotional state and how you experience yourself, both at work and at home, and, in turn, how others experience you.
How we work
Using a dynamic combination of bottom-up (body-informed) and top-down approaches, we identify the unconscious patterns and survival strategies that no longer serve you. We map out and explore your world so you can see the interdependent pieces that impact you. By increasing awareness of the cues your body gives you, along with learning to calm, soothe, and build a healthy relationship with your whole being, you can start to expand your window of tolerance, gaining insight and clarity into why you feel the way you do. Through connection and co-regulation, we aim to build a more resilient system that can flex and respond to challenges rather than get stuck in high-stress states, allowing you to meet demands with grounded thought rather than a constant stress response. Therapy is a process that can be challenging at times, and it involves your willingness to go there and feel parts of you that don’t get the light of day, but often the answer to the change we are looking for lies buried in these parts.
