You’ve held it all together.

For a long time.

But, you just can’t do it anymore.

You're not broken. You’re not failing.

You’re at a threshold, where the old way has run its course and the new way hasn't shown itself yet.

Therapeutic coaching for people moving through life, leadership, and identity transitions.

" I came to Amanda feeling like I was failing at everything, work, relationships, myself.

What I found was someone who could hold the complexity of all of it without needing to simplify it or fix it.

For the first time in years, I felt genuinely understood.

The work we did together changed not just how I think but how I actually live."

Amelia, Senior Leader

What’s Actually Going On

Something brought you here. Maybe it built slowly, pressure accumulating over years until the weight of it became impossible to ignore. Maybe it arrived as a crisis, or as a success that felt strangely hollow. Maybe the ground is already shifting and you just need somewhere to land while it does.

You’re aware that the version of life you've been living isn't sustainable anymore. And that recognition, however uncomfortable, is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It means you're paying attention.

But attention doesn't create change on its own. This is what most people discover at the threshold - you can understand your patterns with complete clarity and still find yourself repeating them. You can know exactly why you over-function and still over-function. You can see the pattern, name the origin, trace the logic, and still not move.

Insight isn't the missing piece. What's missing is movement at a deeper level - in the body, the nervous system, the layers of identity that formed long before the mind had any say in the matter.

That's the work we do here.

What Begins to Change

When the work begins, something starts to settle.

Not because life suddenly becomes simpler, but because you stop fighting yourself.

The internal noise quietens. You notice what you actually feel, want, and need, often for the first time in years. Decisions become clearer. Relationships have room in them again.

The version of you that existed before the performance, before the accumulated weight of other people's expectations, before you learned to manage yourself into someone more acceptable, that version begins to return.

Not as a regression. As a reclamation.

The Work

The work draws on psychology, neuroscience, somatic practice, and spiritual wisdom. Sessions are online. The pace is yours.

My clients are leaders, professionals, and people in significant life transition who are done managing their way through and ready to start actually changing.

They do not need more analysis. They need something to actually move.

If that’s you, I’d love to talk.

About Amanda

I spent more than 25 years in global leadership, working across people, change, and transformation in complex organisations, including a period as Acting CEO.

I know what it is to carry significant responsibility, to be the one who holds it all together, and to quietly wonder how long you can keep doing it.

I also know what it is to reach the point where the old way stops working entirely, and to have to find out who you are without it.

That experience, alongside formal training in psychology, counselling, and nervous system work, is what I bring to this work.

I work with people one to one, online, at whatever pace makes sense for where you are.

  • “I believe I’ve truly, truly grown since starting to work with Amanda.” Before this, I’d done therapy but had never felt secure enough to fully open up. With Amanda, that changed — I opened up a lot. From the outside, my life worked. I was capable, responsible — the one who holds everything together. But inside, it felt like constant effort. One of the biggest shifts for me was separating who I am now from who I had to be at different stages of my life. “I’d never separated 6-year-old me, 15-year-old me, 20-year-old me… and being able to do that really helped me see me for me now, not then.” Focusing on my nervous system has been life-changing. “My focus on my nervous system… has just changed my life.” I’m calmer with my family, calmer with myself, and I don’t react in the same way under pressure. My boundaries have shifted, and I’m no longer constantly accommodating everyone else. “I’m sick of living my life feeling like I have to prove my value… I’m just done.” I feel more like myself now — without the pressure to prove anything.

  • “Before I started working with Amanda, I was struggling with a reliance on pornography and found it difficult to regulate my emotions.” Day to day, it felt out of my control. It was affecting my relationship and my self-esteem, and I didn’t like who I was becoming. I had tried using willpower to push through and suppress how I was feeling, but it would quickly become overwhelming and I’d end up back in the same place. “Reaching out was difficult because I felt a lot of shame… but from the beginning, I never felt judged.” What stood out to me was that Amanda didn’t focus on the behaviour itself, but helped me understand what was driving it. She gave me practical tools that made a real difference. “My turning point came early on… I started to see real change and began to feel more steady and understand myself better.” Now, when difficult situations come up, I respond differently. I don’t feel as overwhelmed, and I feel more grounded in how I handle things. “Overall, I’m more confident and have a much greater sense of self-respect.” Working with Amanda was a turning point for me.

  • " Before working with Amanda, I struggled to understand myself — especially how my past experiences were still affecting how I felt and reacted in the present. I found myself easily triggered and overwhelmed, without really knowing why. Traditional counselling hadn’t worked in a way that felt meaningful, as it stayed mostly at a cognitive level. Now, I’m able to recognise when stress is building much earlier. “When I feel stress mounting, I can pause, breathe, and begin again from a more regulated place in my body.” I’m less reactive in my work and relationships, and I no longer take on things that don’t belong to me. I’ve also stopped blaming myself for things outside of my control, which has shifted how I feel about myself. “Amanda is like a calm, warm blanket in the middle of the storm of life.” There’s a sense of being supported, while also being reminded that you are the one guiding your own direction.
