Here’s what no-one told you when climbing the corporate ladder or building your business:

Your biggest business blocks aren't actually business blocks - they're social blocks.

Your business and/or profession, if you care deeply, is often an extension of yourself (as a therapist who runs my own business, I get it). It’s therefore a representation of you in society.

When something ‘represents’ us, our own blocks can come up.

That "strategy problem" keeping you stuck? It's actually fear of being judged.

That "networking challenge"? It's actually social anxiety.

That "visibility issue" holding back your growth? It's the fear of being seen.

That "pricing struggle"? It's the belief that asking for what you're worth will make people reject you.

The truth is: Every business breakthrough requires a social breakthrough first.

Do you find yourself…

Feeling like an imposter despite your achievements?

Replaying professional interactions?

Struggling with low confidence?

Caught in cycles of overworking?

Unable to trust your own professional judgment or business instincts?

Finding that past workplace trauma (e.g. business betrayals, bullying, bankruptcy), business failures, or harsh criticism continues to impact how you show up professionally or run your business?

Paralysed by fear of failure that keeps you playing small or avoiding the bold moves your business needs?

If these experiences resonate with you, you're often not dealing with simple procrastination or "performance issues" - you might be experiencing the impact of professional trauma, perfectionism, or blocking beliefs, that live in your nervous system and shape how you navigate your career or build your business.

You can have the perfect business plan, flawless marketing strategy, and incredible expertise - but if your nervous system is wired to avoid rejection, minimise yourself, or hide your true capabilities, your business and career will mirror those limitations.

I believe in standard coaching - talking, strategising, problem-solving & use this where appropriate.

But we can talk all day about your business blocks and you'll still be stuck. You already may know logically what to do, but emotionally are not there.

EMDR gets to what really matters: the stored experiences in your nervous system that are actually running the show.

FAQs

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapy technique originally developed for trauma that uses bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements) to help your brain process stuck emotions and memories. It’s got a wide evidence base and is used in the NHS.

    EMDR coaching takes these same principles and applies them to professional challenges.

    Instead of just talking about why you freeze up in presentations or avoid networking, we actually process the underlying blocks that created those responses.

    Here's what makes it different:

    Traditional coaching: "Let's strategise how to overcome your fear of visibility."

    EMDR coaching: "Let's process and release the stored fear so visibility feels natural."

    In practice, it looks like:

    • Identifying the specific memories or beliefs blocking your professional growth

    • Using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or audio tones) while processing these experiences

    • Watching your nervous system calm down and your confidence naturally emerge

    • Installing new, empowering beliefs about your professional worth

    The result? Instead of managing your triggers with coping strategies, you actually resolve them.

    You may find other coaches don’t offer this. This is because generally EMDR can only be offered by qualified therapists.

  • We start by talking - identifying what professional challenge is bothering you most.

    Then we trace it back. What does this feeling remind you of? Often there's a specific memory - being criticised by a teacher, a humiliating work presentation, or even childhood experiences of feeling "not good enough." You may not know now, and that’s ok.

    Here's where EMDR gets interesting: While you think about that memory, I'll guide you through bilateral stimulation.

    It sounds weird, but it works. The eye movements help your brain process the stuck emotion attached to that memory. You might notice the memory becoming less vivid, the emotional charge decreasing, or new insights emerging naturally.

    We keep going until that memory no longer triggers you. Then we install a new, empowering belief like "I am capable and worthy of success."

    The whole thing takes 60-90 minutes. You'll likely feel lighter, calmer, and notice that professional trigger doesn't hit the same way anymore.

    Best part? You don't have to relive trauma, event, or dig into painful details. Your brain does the healing work - I just facilitate the process.

    Most clients are surprised how gentle and natural it feels, even when processing difficult experiences.

  • This varies depending on your goals and history. I can offer you a clear guide at our assessment.

  • This is best discussed in our free call to determine your ultimate goals and difficulties, and what’s likely to be effective.
