Psychology-informed coaching for business owners leading big lives with lots of responsibility who are feeling the weight of carrying it all
Why does it feel like
you're holding it together alone?
You're good at what you do. The problem isn't the business.
It's the noise underneath it. The overthinking, the overwhelm, the feeling that you're throwing everything at the wall and nothing is landing.
The Reset is four weeks of focused 1:1 work on exactly that.

Sound familiar?
You're not failing. You're not weak. You're carrying a lot. And you've been carrying it alone for too long.
The problem isn't your strategy.
It's what happens in your head when you don't know whether you're coming or going.
The imposter feeling that surfaces when you're in a room with people who seem more certain than you are.
The inability to make a decision and move on from it.
The sense that you're doing everything and still not doing enough.
None of this is a business problem. It's a psychology problem. And no marketing strategy will fix that.
This is not another programme.
You've got enough on your list.
- It is not a content strategy or a marketing plan. You do not need more things to implement.
- It is not a course with videos to watch and exercises to file away. You will not leave with a framework to forget by next week.
- It is not motivational. Feeling energised for three days before crashing back to the same patterns is exactly what this work is designed to stop.
What you actually need is to stop doing it all alone. To make a decision and not spend three days second-guessing it. To get to Friday and feel like the week was yours.
What this is
Four weeks of psychotherapy-informed coaching that works on the psychology underneath the overwhelm. The overthinking. The imposter feeling. The pattern of doing everything yourself because it feels easier than trusting anyone else.
Four 60-minute weekly sessions.
WhatsApp support throughout.
A genuinely different relationship to running your business by the end of it.
Hi, I'm Nicola.
NCPS Registered Psychotherapist · EMCC Accredited Executive Coach · MSc Psychology
Psychology-informed coaching for business owners leading big lives with lots of responsibility who are feeling the weight of carrying it all.
I work with business owners and founders who are wearing every hat, worrying constantly about what comes next, and running on something that isn't sustainable.
I've worked with over 200 senior leaders, professionals, and business owners across organisations including the NHS, Deloitte, KPMG, and the BBC, as well as many small businesses.
This is not standard business coaching.
I bring clinical psychology into the room. We don't just talk about what you're doing. We look at why you keep doing it.
What needs to change underneath for anything on the surface to shift.
"I thought I just needed a better system. More structure. Nicola helped me see that the exhaustion wasn't coming from the hours I was putting in. It was coming from the constant low-level anxiety I was carrying about whether the business would succeed. Once that shifted, the decisions got easier, the clients got better and I stopped feeling like I was one quiet month away from disaster."
Jo, Co-Founder, HR Consultancy, Birmingham
How does it work?
Four weeks. Four sessions. One focus: you.
Week 1
The Pattern
We find what is actually driving the overwhelm. Not the symptoms.
The belief underneath them that keeps recreating the same results. The story you carry about your own capacity that shapes every decision you make.
Week 2
The Shift
We work through the real situations. The decisions you keep deferring. The people you say yes to when you mean no.
The hats you're still wearing because letting go feels too risky. We change how you respond to them.
Week 3
The Build
You start making different decisions in real time.
We look at what shifted, what didn't, and where the old patterns are still showing up. The work starts to belong to you.
Week 4
The Reset
You leave with a genuinely different relationship to running your business. Not techniques for managing the pressure.
A shift in how you experience it. Because how you see yourself inside it has changed.
Between sessions and beyond
WhatsApp support runs throughout all four weeks.
Because the real work happens between sessions. In the actual decisions and conversations you face every day.
As a bonus, support continues for two weeks after your final session. The work doesn't stop when the programme does.
"I was undercharging every single client and I knew it. But every time I tried to raise my prices the anxiety was overwhelming. Nicola helped me trace exactly where that fear was coming from. The week after we finished I sent out new rates to all my clients. Not one of them left. I'd been leaving money on the table for two years because of a belief I didn't even know I had."
Rachel, Owner, Interior Design, Manchester
What changes when the noise settles.
- You stop doing everything yourself and the business doesn't fall apart.
- You make a decision and move on from it. The spiral stops following you home.
- You're in a room with other business owners and you stop comparing yourself out of the conversation.
- You say no to work that isn't right without the guilt that used to follow.
- You send a proposal at your real prices and don't immediately want to apologise for them.
- You get to Friday and the week actually feels like it was yours.
Is this for you?
This is for you if
- You're running your own business and the pressure has started to outweigh the freedom.
- You feel like you're doing it all and doing it all alone.
- You're competent and capable and quietly overwhelmed.
- You've been meaning to get some support but haven't known where to start.
This is not for you if
- You want a marketing strategy or someone to tell you what to post.
- You're looking for business coaching or someone to work on your systems.
- You're not willing to look at what is actually driving the decisions you make.
Investment
Four weeks of focused work on the thinking that has been shaping every decision you make.
Before you look at the number, think about what another year of this actually costs.
Not just money. The decisions you didn't make because the overwhelm got there first. The clients you said yes to when you meant no. The evenings you couldn't switch off.
Another year of wearing every hat and wondering when it gets to feel easier.
Another year of throwing everything at the wall and nothing quite sticking.
Another year of doing it all alone and calling it strength.

Start The ResetSome people finish and that's exactly what they needed. Others carry on into longer-term work. There's no obligation beyond the four weeks.
"I was checking my bank account every morning before I'd even had a coffee. Not because things were bad but because the anxiety had become the background noise of running a business. Nicola helped me understand where that was coming from and change it. The checking stopped. The decisions got easier. I started actually enjoying what I'd built."

Frequently Asked Questions
Business owners and founders who are doing everything, wearing every hat, and running on something that isn't sustainable.
If you feel like you're throwing spaghetti at the wall, struggling to switch off, or quietly questioning whether you're doing any of it right. This is for you.
Business coaching works on strategy, systems and accountability.
The Reset works on the psychology underneath your decisions: the overwhelm, the imposter feeling, the pattern of doing it all alone. That is why the results tend to stick.
It's coaching, informed by my clinical psychology background.
We focus on how you function and how you make decisions, not on processing the past. The sessions are practical and grounded in what's actually happening in your business right now.
You book and pay directly through Calendly. Klarna is available at checkout if you'd like to spread the cost across three payments.
Once your booking is confirmed, you'll hear from me within 24 hours to confirm your first session date.
Sessions are typically available within one to two weeks of booking.
If you're coming to a networking event and want to get started quickly, get in touch directly and I'll do what I can.
Yes. This is a legitimate business investment and can be run through your accounts. If you need an invoice, just ask.
That's entirely up to you.
Some people finish The Reset and that's exactly what they needed. Others choose to continue into longer-term work.
There's no pressure and no automatic renewal. We'll have an honest conversation in the final session about what, if anything, comes next.
