How to Work with Me

This work is for you if:

✓ You have built a life that looks impressive but feels hollow

✓ You are exhausted from performing for invisible standards

✓ You are navigating a major transition (career change, life stage, organisational change) and old rules do not fit anymore

✓ You make decisions based on guilt and should rather than what actually serves you

✓ You are tired of chronic anxiety that will not respond to typical approaches

✓ You want to stop living on autopilot and start choosing consciously

Common situations that bring people here:

  • Career transitions where the old playbook stops working and you need to write your own

  • Life stage shifts (becoming a parent, midlife, empty nest, menopause) that expose rule conflicts you have been managing unconsciously

  • Organisational changes (mergers, acquisitions, leadership transitions) where cultural rules collide before anybody has named them

  • Recovery work (eating disorders, body image, relationship patterns) where diet culture and other systems have written vicious rules

  • High achievement without satisfaction where you are winning by external measures but losing yourself

  • Chronic anxiety or burnout that persists despite all the right interventions (because the rules themselves are the problem)

How we work together

Individual work

Therapy

Deep, sustained exploration of your unwritten rules - where they came from, how they have shaped you, what they are costing you, and comprehensive support in consciously choosing your path forward.

Best for: People ready for depth work, those with complex histories, anyone who needs a therapeutic container for identity-level shifts, recovery work that requires examining deeply embedded rules.

Coaching

Focused, strategic work to identify your operating rules and design your conscious path forward.

Best for: Life or career transitions, people who have done therapy before and want targeted intervention, those who need clarity and strategic plan more than processing.

Body Image: Group programme and workshops 

Diet culture writes especially vicious rules. Let's examine them together and choose consciously what we keep. Specialised group programme and introductory workshops surfacing and shifting the unwritten rules that govern how we relate to our bodies.

Co-facilitated with marissa-catherine carrarini, Nutritional Therapist.

Group programmes and workshops

Organisational Work

What Are the Unwritten Rules in Our Team?

90-minute to half-day workshop surfacing the invisible cultural norms that shape behaviour, decision-making, psychological safety, and performance in your team or organisation. Make them visible. Examine them. Choose consciously which ones to keep.

Breaking the Rules Holding Me Back in My Career

Professional development workshop helping individuals identify and shift the unconscious rules limiting their advancement, leadership, and career satisfaction.

Breaking the Rules on Burnout

A wellbeing workshop supporting individuals to identify the unwritten rules that shape our behaviour and can lead to burnout. For example, 'I shouldn't need to ask for help' 'I must always say 'yes''.

Merger & Acquisitions Integration

Before cultural clash sabotages your merger: surface the unwritten rules in both organisations. Name them explicitly. Negotiate them consciously. Build shared norms rather than letting hidden rule conflicts create friction, confusion, and failed integration.

Because two organisations merging is literally two rule systems colliding. And nobody examines the unwritten rules.

Breaking the Rules Testimonials

  • "Thank you for a great, insightful masterclass. It was rather engaging and I appreciated how the speakers not only shared their expert knowledge but also fostered an environment that encouraged us to reflect on our behaviours."

    —Corporate client feedback

  • "It shifted my whole perspective and made me realise I am not alone. A lot of the examples shared were relevant to my experiences and I felt really comfortable sharing my own experiences. I really enjoyed the overall experience and got a lot out of it."

    —Group programme feedback

  • "Every question or comment was handled well - loved that the presenters were never dismissive of anybody’s comments. I loved how reflective the session was and the scope for engagement. I especially enjoyed the stories that marissa shared, as they reminded me of a lot of things I had heard growing up."

    —Webinar participant

  • "I found this session to be such an eye-opener into how hard I can be on myself. It really allowed me to reflect on my feelings around food, spoken and unspoken rules and how these have shaped my emotional responses over the years."

    —Webinar participant

  • "I became more aware each week of the unhelpful rules I was following. I am now much better at recognising these and ‘calling them out’. I am also getting better at trying to trust myself and trying to be more compassionate to myself."
