my FREE DIY Burnout Survival Guide now!

You’ve built success in a high-pressure world.
But it's come at the cost of your wellbeing.  
Now it’s time to take back control.

Coaching helps you clear the fog, refocus your energy, and redefine success - so you can thrive in your career without losing yourself to burnout.

Lets get to the root of your exhaustion, reset your boundaries, and design a sustainable way of working that fuels your performance without costing you your wellbeing.

You’re brilliant at what you do.
You care deeply about every role you play, and people rely on you.

But lately, it’s taking everything just to hold it all together.

You’re juggling meetings, deadlines, family, inboxes - running at full pelt with no time to stop, reflect, or breathe.

Outwardly, you're bossing it. But inside? You're unravelling.
You know this isn’t sustainable. But you don’t know how to step off the treadmill without everything falling apart.

How do I know this? 

Because I've been there too. 

I know the world of high performance - the pace, the expectations, and the satisfaction of doing work that matters. During more than 15 years in PR and Communications, I saw how easy it is for drive and diligence to turn into exhaustion when success depends on constantly doing more.

​

I chose to find a different way of working - one that still values purpose, ambition and impact, but not at the expense of personal wellbeing. Now I help high-achieving professionals do the same: creating sustainable success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on paper.

​​

I’m Helen - a coach for high-achievers in fast-paced, high pressure jobs who want to keep doing meaningful work without losing themselves in the process.

Just think...

…what it would be like to feel on the front foot again.

​

To be able to show up fully as your best self, both at work and at home. 

​

To know in your bones just how good you are, without seeking others' approval.

​

To feel more in control and to think more clearly.

​

To be able to leave work at work, and to know how to quieten those relentless thoughts...
