"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
"I’ve been able to recognise that I’m now able to to stay present in my body, whereas previously I would have been analying in my head, or drifted off into a subconscious state while using the same techniques. This has been useful in the way of acceptance, presence and identifying and expressing needs, listening to my body and overall feeling more grounded."
— M. Cook, Business Owner

Capacity & Physiological Audit Profiling
Confidence and self-trust aren't built through insight alone. They're developed through experience and practice.
Just as we don't become better swimmers by talking about swimming, we build confidence by practising new ways of responding, showing up and moving through the things that challenge us.
For those who want to go deeper, we can explore how your capacity influences the way you show up and influence others, from sleep, energy and focus to stress, breathing patterns and physiological responses.
We establish a baseline and revisit relevant measures throughout our work together to help you recognise patterns, explore what works for you and track changes over time.
The aim isn't simply to help you feel more confident in one conversation or moment of visibility. It's to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and build the capacity and self-trust to express your ideas, communicate your value and have an impact without feeling you have to mask, perform or run on empty.
Lead with embodied confidence.
“I began coaching to explore difficulties I was experiencing with Imposter Syndrome and Anette made me feel at ease straight away and created a safe and supportive environment for me to explore what was going on. I was drawn to Anette because she is trauma-informed and I really valued being able to work with both the body and the brain during our sessions and to work in a holistic way. 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 if you are looking for coaching support. "
— Lisa H.
Before I started coaching with Anette, I felt pretty stuck, like I was going through the motions but not really getting anywhere. I had this sense that something was holding me back, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Working with her has been a total game-changer! I've discovered barriers I didn't even know existed, and more importantly, I've started moving past them. I feel so much clearer about what I want and what's actually possible for me. What I absolutely loved about working with Anette is how she creates this incredible safe space where you can just breathe and really explore what's going on. She has this amazing ability to ask exactly the right questions that get you thinking about things you'd never considered before. I'd walk away from our sessions with these genuine 'aha!' moments that I know I never would have reached on my own.

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. -
Traditional mindset and leadership coaching often starts with your thoughts, beliefs and behaviours: What are you thinking? What is holding you back? What could you do differently?
My approach includes those things, but it also considers your nervous system state and the capacity (sleep, focus, energy, interoception awareness, regulation etc) you're bringing to the situation.
-
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.
