From Survival Mode to Self-Leadership

From surviving to thriving

You’re coping…mostly. You’re juggling stress, numbness, exhaustion—or maybe an endless sense of “just getting through.”

Welcome to survival mode: the unspoken default setting for too many smart, capable people. I should know, I was one for far too long.

But here’s the truth: survival mode is not a personal failure. It’s a nervous system strategy to keep you going in the face of ongoing uncertainty. It's how you've adapted.

You do’t need to snap out of it. What you need is a new map that lets you shift from bracing for every curve-ball about to be thrown at you to designing a reality that fits you. These sessions aren’t about fixing you. They’re about freeing you—so you can think more clearly, feel more in control and confident in your ability to navigate any storm.

Whether you're dipping your toe in with a one-off recalibration, taking the full CLIMB journey, or growing in community with others—this is coaching for your psyche, not your performance review.

Individual Coaching Options

  • SPARK - one off session

    Light the fire, change your lens.

    If you're stuck in a cycle of overthinking, emotional shutdown, or chaotic stress, SPARK offers a 60-minute reframing session designed to change the way you see your struggle. This is behavioural triage meets emotional clarity—a pressure valve and a launchpad. You’ll leave with new insight, nervous system-friendly strategies, and most importantly, a sense of possibility. Because sometimes, the right question at the right time can change everything.

  • CLIMB - 5 sessions

    Five sessions over ten weeks to take you from surviving to thriving.

    CLIMB is my signature 1:1 programme. Using a trauma-aware, behaviourally informed framework built around the word C.L.I.M.B, we’ll work step-by-step to transform negative coping strategies and give you the breathing space you need to work out what you want next.

    You’ll get five 75-minute sessions, spaced fortnightly for integration, plus exercises and optional nudges between sessions. This is for you if you’re ready to stop fire-fighting and start navigating.

  • RISE - 12 monthly sessions

    You’ve done the work. Now to design what you want next!

    RISE is monthly ongoing 1:1 support for clients who’ve completed CLIMB—or anyone already familiar with their own internal terrain, but looking to sustain progress with guidance, reflection, and subtle course corrections. One session per month. WhatsApp in-between. The antidote to backsliding, burnout or bouncing between breakthroughs with no one to process them with. We don’t just heal. We grow. Consistently.

Group Coaching Options

  • CLIMB TOGETHER - 10 week course

    Same structure. New synergy. Unexpected magic.

    CLIMB Together is the group version of my 5-step survival-to-thriving framework, delivered in an intimate, safely-held container. We meet fortnightly over Zoom for 10 weeks, moving through the same structured arc—but with the added power of social witnessing, shared language, and mutual support. You’ll still receive tools, reflection prompts, and guidance—but you’ll also gain a cohort of fellow climbers. For those who want change with connection.

  • RISE Circle- 1 year course

    Stay grounded. Keep growing. Show up real.

    The RISE Circle is a monthly group coaching and reflection space for those who’ve done deep work and want to stay connected to it. One call per month. One theme. No masks, no “I’m fine,” no pretending. This is for you if you crave rhythm, reflection, and real talk in a world that keeps telling you to keep going and “just be positive.” We do presence, not performance.
