a year (or half year) of holding
A 1-1 mentoring/coaching partnership, purely for your expression, processing and growth for the whole of the coming year - a place to be fully expressed and met, without needing to perform, please or be perfect.
Twelve months of 1-1 support, focused on meeting you where you are - bring an agenda or allow whatever’s present to emerge in its own way. Part coaching, part mentoring, this is a year long container with ten spacious 75 min sessions drawing on coaching, mentoring, somatic experiencing and daring/wholehearted leadership and shame resilience bodies of work.
I’m not here to fix you - I’m here to sit alongside you and hand you the mirror.
How would it be to let yourself be supported in the next phase of your life and work?
You’ve had an honest place to land each month, in a relationship that was co-created, with encouragement to find your sincere yes and no, which was purely for you to be met in your true self, with full self-expression, no matter how long the words have been locked inside you.
You’ve explored how you’ve been being, what’s felt like you, what’s felt misaligned, and what’s calling you next.
Your experiences have been met, believed, and unshamed. Together we’ve used the raw material of what happened and who you are to create something new (that feels a bit like alchemy).
Our time together has made space for being fully and imperfectly human - we have both been touched and changed by your story, your process, what’s emerging for you now.
You’ve had a professionally trained coach/facilitator and mentor in your corner, cheering you on, holding a mirror, calling you forth, and being a guide and companion for the thresholds you’re crossing.
There are no guarantees with coaching and mentoring work… but there’s a strong likelihood nothing will change without support if you’ve been feeling the same way for some time.
Show up, shamelessly.
Many of the people I work with are looking for a brave space to explore life’s big questions. Sometimes it is to say the unsayable. They’re doing the work of healing old patterns (never good enough, working too hard at life, attachment to what others are doing or thinking about them, perfectionism, over-giving, overriding our internal guidance system and natural rhythms, and controlling everything to feel safe.)
They are finding their voice, rediscovering their power, taking up more space, learning to honour their own needs, returning to their natural selves and discovering what integrity looks (and feels) like. They no longer carry the weight of what they think they should be, so experience the freedom of just being who they are - shadowy parts and all.
This work is a practice, lived through the details of our daily lives. It all begins with awareness.
Our time together is based on everything I’ve learned about showing up fully to life, based on my 30+ years experience of facilitating group processes, 10 years as a workplace psychologist, 12 years as a certified coach working with hundreds of people individually, and 10 years guiding people through a very personal journey on the road to shame resilience and showing up shamelessly as their magnificently messy selves.
The work of becoming real starts with understanding all the ways we currently hide, edit, perfect, please or perform, so that we can tell the truth and redesign our lives based on the new, fresh energy of our most natural selves. After years (a lifetime, for some of us!) of presenting a socially acceptable image to the world, it can take some time to get to know the person we are under all that masking. Finding the joy and creativity in this ‘deconditioning work’ is what I was put on the planet to do*.
*you are welcome to bring any topic to our 1-1 work together, *and* this is the work I most love to do.
Your Journey: Ten 1-1 sessions Over Twelve Months
-
Phase 1: Beginning & Intention-setting
Get clear on what has brought you to this point, what matters most right now, and how our partnership might support you. I’ll invite you to journal before our first session, with some questions to spark your thinking around your current experiences and what ‘flavour’ or atmosphere of our work together might nourish you most right now.
-
Phase 2: the live 1-1 sessions
We meet by Zoom, or by ‘phone, whichever feels right to your nervous system.
Bring something specific, or show up and together we’ll see what’s there wanting to be witnessed or expressed. Sessions might look like talking, feeling, practising skills or just being together, but will have your growth and our intentions for work together as the map for our work together.
-
Phase 3: Reviewing and letting go/letting come
We’ll co-create a healthy reflection of our work together, and this point you might choose to complete, or continue, our partnership. I will always trust and honour your sense of what feels right to you, and what’s emerging/where energy is going.
This Might Be For You If:
You're successful on the outside, or others might see you as so, but you’ve been sensing for some time that something is out of alignment or not feeling quite right, even if you’ve not been sure what to do to resolve it.
You've been keeping something big to yourself for some time, and you’re sensing it might be time to voice things aloud, but don’t have somewhere to do that that feels safe enough.
You recognise the power of eliciting support for what you want to create next.
You’ve been looking for a mentor that feels like a good fit for you and resonate with what you’ve seen or read so far.
You want to work with a wholehearted, seasoned practitioner in a spacious way, over a longer period of time.
You’re looking for a practitioner who blends approaches into a unique way of working.
You are already on a path of self-awareness and personal development, and have been for some time, but feel like you have come to the limit of what your own reading and research is doing for you.
You value depth, playfulness, magic, wildness, and are willing to listen to and trust your body’s messages.

What Happens Next
If this resonates, reach out via email. Share a little of the thinking that has you reach out at this time and how you hope I can support you. I'll respond, and if it feels like we might be a good match, and if you’d like to, we can arrange a conversation to explore working together. .
This isn't a sales call where I convince you. It's a genuine conversation to see if there's resonance and whether this partnership is right for where you are now.
