1:1 Leadership Support

Clear response.
Authentic choice.
Autonomous decisions.


This is the work.

Trauma-informed, Polyvagal- and TA-based support for leaders facing emotional load, tension, or change with someone who really sees you.


“If you want to improve the world, start by making people feel safer.”
— Stephen Porges

What We Mean by Trauma

Trauma isn’t just a single shock.
It’s also sustained pressure without recovery.
Long-term overload with no safe reset.
The system keeps running — but at a cost.

When You Might Reach Out

– A tough decision about letting someone go — or being laid off yourself, despite seniority and expertise
– A role where you’re leading the team, but feel disconnected — they smile, nod, and nothing really shifts
– Pressure you can’t leave at the office — or tension from home that quietly follows you into work
– Exhaustion that your title, success, or performance doesn’t soothe
– A quiet realisation: you’ve been adapting for too long, and it’s costing something inside

“Trauma is a chronic disruption of connectedness.”
— Stephen Porges

Beneath the Surface

– In this work, we look at patterns — not to judge, but to understand
– The reactions that come faster than you’d like — are they habit, or choice?
– Familiar tensions in new roles — could they be old dynamics replaying themselves?
– The quiet weight of responsibility — are you holding unspoken agreements that were never truly yours?

There is no growth without change — no change without growth.”
— Adrienne Lee

How We Work

This isn’t a formula — it’s a process built on trust, clarity, and presence.

We start by clarifying what brings you here.
Sometimes there’s a clear challenge or decision point.
Other times, it’s less defined — a sense of inner pressure, disconnection, or quiet fatigue.

We agree on a shared contract:
– Are we working toward a specific outcome?
– Or are we staying with a process that’s still unfolding?

I bring structure, reflection, and a nervous system-aware lens.
You bring your experience, patterns, and willingness to notice.

We move at a pace that respects your system — not pushing, not fixing.
Just enough contact to shift what’s ready to shift.
