Executive Coaching
When the pressure keeps building, something has to change, not just you. You’re holding more than your role was designed for.
The pressure isn’t just workload.
It’s people challenges, constant decision-making, stretched resources, and the expectation that you’ll hold everything together.
You’ve probably told yourself this is just a busy period.
But it hasn’t eased, and it’s starting to cost you.
Burnout Informed Executive coaching gives you space to step back, think clearly, and deal with what’s actually happening so you can lead effectively without absorbing everything.
This is for you if…
- You’re leading a team, but constantly firefighting
- You’re carrying organisational pressure with limited capacity
- You feel responsible for everyone else’s wellbeing but no one is supporting you
- You’re close to burnout, but stepping back doesn’t feel like an option
- You’re good at your job, but the way you’re working isn’t sustainable
What’s really going on
Most leaders I work with aren’t struggling because they’re not capable.
They’re struggling because:
- The pressure keeps increasing
- Boundaries have blurred or disappeared
- People issues are complex and emotionally demanding
- They’ve become the person who holds everything
Over time, this doesn’t just affect performance, it affects clarity, confidence, and energy.
Coaching creates the space to step out of that cycle, so you can make decisions more clearly and lead without constantly reacting.
This isn’t traditional coaching
This isn’t about surface-level goals or abstract conversations.
It’s structured, practical support focused on what you are dealing with right now.
We work on how to:
- Reduce pressure in real time
- Navigate difficult people situations with more clarity
- Make decisions without second-guessing yourself
- Set boundaries that actually hold
- Lead without carrying everything alone
I bring 34 years of HR experience alongside burnout-informed coaching, so we don’t just talk we work through the reality of your role.
How we work together
Support is focused on what YOU need and want.
Block of 6 hours
Initial session (90 minutes)
We get underneath what’s really driving the pressure and identify where to focus
Ongoing coaching sessions (60 minutes)
Regular, structured sessions to work through live challenges and build sustainable ways of leading
Optional strategic HR input
Where people issues require more than reflection, we bring in practical solutions
A small shift that changes everything
Many leaders are stuck in a pattern of stepping in to fix.
It feels necessary but over time, it increases pressure rather than reduces it.
In coaching, we work on how to:
- Step back without things falling apart
- Respond instead of absorb
- Create accountability in your team without carrying the weight
Small changes here create significant relief.
Why this work matters
This level of pressure isn’t sustainable long-term.
You don’t need to keep pushing through or absorbing more.
With the right support, you can:
- Think more clearly
- Make better decisions
- Reduce the pressure you’re carrying
- Lead in a way that feels sustainable again
About me
I’ve worked with leaders across the Third Sector for over 30 years.
I understand the tension between mission, limited resources, and responsibility because I’ve been inside it.
Alongside my HR background, I’m a qualified Executive Coach and Burnout-Informed Coach.
I’ve also experienced burnout personally, which shapes how I support leaders now.
This work is practical, honest, and focused on helping you lead without it costing you more than it should.
