How much longer can you keep this up?

You're running on autopilot. And honestly? It's only a matter of time before something breaks.

You're the MD, the CEO, the founder everyone looks to when things go sideways. You make the calls. You carry the weight. You show up.

But here's what they don't see:

  • The 3am ceiling-staring sessions where your brain won't shut up about the board meeting, the cashflow gap, the team member who's about to quit.

  • The way you snap at your partner over nothing because your nervous system's been in fight-or-flight for six straight months.

  • The fact that you're scrolling Instagram at midnight because you're too wired to sleep, even though you're knackered.

  • The wine that's crept from Friday nights to Tuesday evenings.

You know you should be sleeping better. Moving more. Thinking clearer.

But willpower doesn't work when your brain's running on autopilot.

And that's the real problem, isn't it?

Here's the thing nobody tells you….

Most of your mental fitness - the bit that actually matters when you're under pressure - runs in the background.

It's not about "trying harder" or "being more positive."

It's about the subconscious patterns that kick in before you even notice:

  • The inner critic that tells you you're not doing enough (even when you objectively are)

  • The catastrophising loop that turns a small problem into an existential crisis

  • The stress response that hijacks your best thinking right when you need it most

These aren't character flaws. They're just old programming.

And like any software, you can update it.

What this actually is

The Executive Mental Fitness Reset is an 8-week, 1-on-1 programme where we shift the autopilot patterns that are quietly sabotaging your energy, focus, and confidence.

It's not therapy where we dig into your childhood for six months.

It's not generic "wellness" advice about gratitude journals and morning routines. -though they can help of course.

It's practical, neuroscience-backed work on the specific habits and thought patterns that are holding you back right now - using a blend of strategic coaching and clinical hypnosis to shift them at a subconscious level.

✓ We start from where you are today.

✓ We focus on where you want to get to.

✓ We build sustainable change that sticks.

In 8 weeks.

Who this is for

You're an MD, CEO, Senior executive or founder running a business under £15 million.

You're succeeding on paper, you're delivering results - but you…you're running on fumes.

You want practical tools, not platitudes.

You're done with "just push through it" and ready to actually sort this out at root level.

And you're willing to invest in yourself the same way you invest in your business.

What you’ll actually notice

By the end of 8 weeks, here's what leaders typically report:

  • Improved sleep. No more 3am panic spirals.

  • They've stopped snapping at people. Calmer responses, even under pressure. Better outcomes in high-stakes meetings.

  • They've got their focus back. Less procrastination. Less firefighting, more strategic thinking. More energy for what actually matters.

  • They trust themselves more.Not "fake it till you make it" confidence. Real self-belief grounded in evidence.

  • They've interrupted the autopilot functions.
    Stress eating, late-night scrolling, over-reliance on wine or coffee - replaced with stuff that actually supports performance.

This isn't about avoiding burnout. It's about building a more positive, energising way of leading - where you feel motivated, clear-headed, and able to inspire the best in your team.

Here's your choice

Option 1…

Keep grinding. Keep hoping it'll get easier. Keep white-knuckling your way through the stress and sleepless nights.

Spoiler: it won't get easier.

Option 2:

Invest 8 focused weeks to shift the autopilot patterns holding you back - and step into the calm, clear-headed leadership you've been missing.

This is NOT for you if…

Let's be honest - this programme isn't for everyone. It's designed for senior leaders who are ready to do the work, not those looking for a magic wand.

This isn't for you if:

  •  You're looking for a quick fix
    This is an 8-week commitment. If you want a weekend workshop or a one-off motivational talk, this isn't it.

  •  You expect someone to "fix" you while you stay passive
    I'll give you the tools, the structure, and the support — but you have to show up, engage, and apply what we work on between sessions.

  • You're not willing to look honestly at your patterns
    This work requires self-awareness and a willingness to challenge the autopilot habits you've been running for years. If you're not open to that, we won't get far.

  • You're managing an acute mental health crisis
    If you're in crisis or dealing with severe depression, trauma, or substance dependency, you need clinical support first. I can work with you once you're stable, but this programme isn't a substitute for that level of care.

  • You're not prepared to invest in yourself
    This costs £1,800. If you're not at a point where you can prioritise your own mental fitness the way you prioritise your business strategy, that's okay — but now's probably not the time.

This is for you if:

You're an MD, CEO, or founder running a business under £15 million
You're succeeding externally but running on fumes internally
You're done with "just push through it" and ready to actually sort this out
You want practical, science-backed strategies — not vague platitudes
You're willing to invest time, energy, and money in yourself the same way you invest in your business

If that's you - let's talk.

We'll figure out if this is right for you, no pressure, no pitch.

The hypnosis thing (let's talk about it)

I know. When people hear "hypnosis," they think stage shows and swinging watches. Here's the reality:

Clinical hypnosis is just a focused state of attention - like when you're absorbed in a great book, or driving home on autopilot.

Your conscious mind steps back for a bit, and your subconscious becomes more receptive to new patterns.

You're fully aware. Fully in control. You can't be made to do anything you don't want to do.

Think of it as a shortcut to the part of your brain that runs your habits, emotions, and automatic reactions - so you can update the software instead of just managing the symptoms.

No magic. No mystery. Just neuroscience in plain English.

Hello, I’m Suzanne

After 30 years in fast-paced corporate roles, managing teams while raising a family and caring for ageing parents, I know what it’s like to appear in control on the outside while managing with stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt on the inside.

Facing my own health challenges, fertility journeys, grief, and career pressures revealed just how powerfully the mind affects our wellbeing, resilience and ability to cope. Through these experiences, I discovered the life-changing impact of caring for my mental fitness and seeking professional support when I needed it most.

That’s why I decided to retrain, swapping boardrooms for the chance to help people reset, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with more ease and confidence toward a more positive, hopeful, and happier state of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Good question. Traditional therapy often looks backwards — unpacking childhood trauma, exploring the root causes of patterns, sometimes for years.

    This programme is different. It's forward-looking and goal-oriented. We start from where you are today and focus on where you want to be in 8 weeks.

    Think of it as therapy meets coaching — with a laser focus on performance, decisions, and leadership under pressure.

    No long-winded exploration of your past. Just practical tools and subconscious rewiring to help you show up better, starting now.

  • Nope.

    You just need to be open to it. And honestly, most senior leaders are pretty sceptical at first — until they experience it.

    Clinical hypnosis isn't about belief. It's about focus. It's just a deeply relaxed state where your subconscious becomes more receptive to new patterns.

    You're fully aware. Fully in control. And fully able to think "nah, not for me" at any point.

    But what usually happens? People are surprised by how natural it feels — and how effective it is at shifting stuff that willpower alone couldn't touch.

  • I get it. You're running a business. Time is your most valuable resource.

    But here's the reality: if you keep running on fumes, something's going to give. Your health, your relationships, your decision-making, or all three.

    This programme is designed for busy leaders. Each session is 50 minutes. That's less time than most board meetings.

    And the payoff? You'll get sharper, sleep better, and lead with more clarity. Which means you'll actually gain time by working smarter, not just harder.

    The question isn't "Do I have time?" It's "Can I afford not to do this?"

  • Absolutely. Everything we discuss is completely confidential.

    I've worked in corporate environments for years. I understand the need for discretion — especially at senior levels.

    What happens in our sessions stays between us. Full stop.

  • That's actually really common.

    Most coaching focuses on conscious-level strategies — goal-setting, accountability, mindset work. All good stuff. But if the subconscious patterns aren't shifting, you end up in the same loops.

    This programme works at both levels. We use practical coaching tools and clinical hypnosis to rewire the autopilot patterns that keep tripping you up.

    So if you've tried coaching before and felt like something was missing — this might be it.

  • Yes — as long as you're stable and not in acute crisis.

    This programme is designed to complement other support, not replace it.

    If you're already working with a therapist or taking medication for anxiety, depression, or another condition, that's fine. Just let me know during our clarity call so we can make sure this is a good fit.

  • You'll have:

    • Practical tools you can use in any high-pressure situation
      Two personalised audio recordings to reinforce the work

    • A clearer understanding of your patterns and how to interrupt them

    • Sustainable habits that support your mental fitness long-term

    Some clients choose to book occasional top-up sessions (e.g. quarterly check-ins). Others feel equipped to continue on their own.

    Either way, the goal is that you don't need me forever. This is about building skills and shifting patterns that last.

  • Honestly? The best way to find out is to book a free 15-minute clarity call.

    We'll talk about where you are, where you want to be, and whether this programme is a good fit.

    No pressure. No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation.
