Dare to Succeed Sustainably
1:1 Coaching Programme
Women’s Embodied Leadership
For the capable, ambitious and high-achieving woman who wants career confidence and sustainable success, and refuses to sacrifice her wellbeing or sense of self to achieve it.
Does this sound familiar?
“My brain is always on. Even when I’m trying to sleep, I’m thinking, planning, analysing or worrying. I can’t seem to stop.”
→
“I know what to do when it comes to resting and burnout, I just don’t seem to be able to actually do it when it matters.”
→
→
“I know I am capable on paper, but I work in an unsupportive work environment which leaves me doubting myself.”
“I feel like I have to work harder than everyone else to prove I’m good enough. I feel like I am constantly running behind.”
→
“I’ve spent so long doing what I’m ‘supposed’ to do that I’m not sure I even know what I feel or need or what I want next.”
→
“When the system is broken, my first thought is ‘What am I doing wrong?’ I assume I must try harder or fix something.”
→
“I can list all my achievements and qualifications and I still feel like a fraud and like I am failing.”
→
“I know I’m exhausted, but I notice I say ‘I’m fine’ and keep pushing through, until suddenly I have nothing left.”
→
You’ve spent your whole life being rewarded for achieving, pushing harder and getting things right - and somewhere along the way, you started believing that when something wasn’t working, the problem was you and you just needed to try harder…
Now you’re feeling exhausted from overthinking, second-guessing yourself & pushing past your limits.
You really want to figure out what you actually want, rebuild your confidence & sense of self, whilst creating a purposeful career or business that fits the life you now want, without burning out.
You’re not just trying to do things right; you’re trying to be good at what you do, whilst also having purpose, and feel confident enough to put yourself forward to have a successful and sustainable business or career that supports the life you want to live!
What it might be costing you to live in the old way:
Your sense of self-trust & confidence
Your energy & capacity
Your health & wellbeing
Your emotional wellness
Your sense of feeling safe in your body and interactions
Your sleep, underlying physiology & breathing patterns
Your time
Your joy
Your freedom
Connection with loved ones
Your sense of agency
Missed opportunities
Unmet needs
Your sense of purpose and fulfillment
Imagine being able to…
Stay present and connected to yourself when navigating challenges & coming across with influential impact.
Build capacity for sustainable success without sacrificing your energy, wellbeing or sense of self.
Develop embodied confidence and self-trust to show up with courage during moments that matter most.
It all starts with feeling a sense of agency and safety in your body…
"With Anette's knowledgeable and patient guidance through her 8 week programme, I have been able to improve both my breathing and the regulation of my nervous system . These have had positive benefits in many aspects of my life. After working with her, I notice I can now respond with more "choicefulness", when previously I might have been more reactive. I am truly grateful and would highly recommend working with Anette."
— T. Slice, Director and Executive Coach
“I’ve had a wonderful experience with Anette. She has such a calm presence and is so insightful. I had no idea I’ve been breathing so shallowly for so long! I feel so much more calm and grounded after my sessions with her!"
— Rosie B.M. Stylist
Trauma-informed and neuro-affirming transformative coaching, combined with evidence-backed breath and nervous-system protocols, neuroscience, behavioural science, creative play and my real-world experience, including designing women’s leadership programmes for organisations including Disney, AXA and NatWest.

RESTORATION & RECOVERY

Outcome:
Understand how your breathing patterns and physiology influence how you feel, think and respond under pressure.

You learn how to recognise when your breathing is adding to stress, tension or mental overload, and how to use your breath to influence your physiology and shift how you feel and think. -

Develop a greater ability to recognise stress and overwhelm and regulate yourself before you reach depletion, building greater capacity and nervous system flexibility in how you respond.

CONFIDENCE & SELF-TRUST

Profiling
Step forward with confidence…
"I've just landed a new job, and it's genuinely down to the coaching. After our sessions, I stopped trying to be what companies wanted and just started being me. At the start of each interview, I took an embodied breath and 'a step to the right', and had 3 job offers!!!! I can honestly say that my outlook on so much has changed. I take a breath, think, and then make a calm decision, whereas before I was letting my past decide. "
— Nicki M. Operations Manager
“I began coaching to explore difficulties I was experiencing with Imposter Syndrome and Anette created a safe and supportive environment for me to explore what was going on. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to get to the root of the problem and the insights that emerged during our sessions. Anette really helped me to increase my awareness of what was keeping me stuck and to reflect upon what I need in order to move forward. I am so grateful for the support that I received and thoroughly recommend Anette. "

FAQs
-
Therapy often focuses on healing past wounds, mental health challenges, or deep emotional processing.
Coaching is more present, future-focused and action-oriented. It’s about working with where you are now and supporting your growth, decision-making, and self-leadership.
While our work together may touch on emotional patterns (especially in trauma-informed coaching), it’s not a substitute for therapy. If needed, I’ll always signpost or work alongside other practitioners in your support network. -
Coaching is a collaborative process where I ask reflective questions to help you clarify your thoughts, feelings, and next steps. You lead the way, bringing what matters most to you, at your pace.
Depending on what you need, mentoring allows space for me to work with you in a framework and offer tools or science that might support your process. Your results are strongest when you actively engage with the tools and strategies that resonate with you.
It’s never about giving advice, telling you what to do, or centering my own story. This work is always about you and your commitment to yourself to implement positive change. -
Sessions can run in-person - if local, or online.
-
Both the 8-week and 12-week programmes are focused on behaviour change and nervous system regulation. Because of this, they require a level of commitment to regular practice outside of sessions, including daily breathing or regulation techniques. These programmes work best when you are ready to engage consistently with these practices as part of your everyday routine, rather than treating them as something only explored during sessions.
-
Coaching can run weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on the programme and your capacity. The 5-week programme typically runs biweekly, allowing space to integrate and reflect between sessions. The 8-week programme is usually weekly to support consistent momentum and behaviour change. The 12-week programme is more flexible and can be weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on your level of burnout, energy, and nervous system capacity at the time.

Yes! Coaching can be funded in several ways:
Self-funded – Many clients choose to invest in themselves directly, giving full control over the pace and focus of the work.
Employer-funded – Some organisations support professional or personal development coaching. Check with your HR or learning & development team to see what’s available.
Access to Work (AtW) – If you are neurodivergent or have a disability, AtW may provide funding for coaching to support your work and career progression. Your AtW caseworker can guide you through eligibility and application. See the ATW coaching page.
If you’re unsure which option fits your situation, I can help you explore the best approach.
