Executive Therapeutic Coaching
Beyond coaching. Deeper than mentoring. Built for what leadership actually costs.
Leadership at the top can be relentless. The pressure, the isolation, the weight of accountability. Over time these take a toll that standard coaching simply is not equipped to address.
Executive Therapeutic Coaching works at the clinical level, addressing the trauma, burnout, chronic stress, and deep psychological patterns that drive leadership behaviour.
This is not coaching with a therapeutic flavour. It is clinical work, designed for leaders.

What Is Executive Therapeutic Coaching?
Executive Therapeutic Coaching sits in a category of its own. It is not coaching, though the work will develop you. It is not therapy in the traditional sense, though it is clinically grounded and therapeutically rigorous.
It is specialist one to one support for senior leaders whose challenges have outgrown what performance coaching can reach, delivered by the UK and Europe's only specialist of her kind in corporate trauma prevention and recovery.
IS THIS YOU?
The Signs and Symptoms This Work Is Designed To Help
Most leaders who come to us have already tried something else. If any of the following feels familiar, you are in the right place.
None of these are character flaws. They are ordinary responses to extraordinary pressure, and they are recoverable.
You do not need to arrive with the right words for any of this. Arriving is enough.
01
Burnout that rest has not fixed
You have taken the holiday. You have delegated. You have done the things you were told would help, but the exhaustion, flatness, or dread remains. This may be what we call Burnout Trauma©, and it responds to clinical intervention, not more rest.
02
A significant event you have not put down
An exit, a lawsuit, a betrayal, a public failure, a redundancy round you had to lead. Months or years later it still surfaces in your sleep, your temper, or your confidence.
03
Success that no longer feels like yours
The results are there and the identity behind them is not. Loss of motivation, loss of meaning, or a persistent feeling of being an impostor in a role you have earned.
04
Decision fatigue and anxiety that follow you home
Generalised or specific anxiety, an inability to switch off, and a nervous system that treats every email like a threat.
05
Relationships fraying under the load
At work, at home, or both. When the role consumes the person, the people closest to the person feel it first. This is one of the most common and least spoken about costs of senior leadership.
A CATEGORY OF IT'S OWN
Why Standard Support Often Is Not Enough
Executive coaching and traditional therapy are both valuable. But senior leaders regularly fall into the gap between them. One understands the boardroom but not the nervous system. The other understands the nervous system but not the boardroom.
How The Work Happens
Clinically Grounded, Personally Delivered
There is no fixed programme and no one size fits all methodology.
The work is built around you, your situation, and the pace that is right for your recovery and development. It is conducted with warmth and directness, in complete confidence.
Sessions are held online or in person, across the UK and internationally. Frequency and duration are agreed together and reviewed as the work progresses.
A private conversation
Every engagement begins with a free, confidential initial call. No obligation, no pitch. A conversation to understand your situation and whether this work is the right fit for you.
Assessment and understanding
Anna works with you to understand what you are carrying, how it developed, and how it is showing up in your leadership and your life. For many clients this is the first time the full picture has ever been laid out.
The clinical work
Depending on your needs, this may include trauma reprocessing using EMDR II, TIR, or TRAT protocols, work on Burnout Trauma© recovery, and addressing the internal patterns Anna calls Inner Brutality. Always at your pace, always explained and contracted with you clearly.
Integration and sustainable leadership
The goal is not simply to feel better. It is to lead differently. The final phase of the work turns recovery into durable change, so that what you have been through becomes integrated wisdom rather than a recurring cost.
Who This Is For
Designed For The People Who Carry Organisations
We works with CEOs, founders, managing directors, C-suite executives, and senior people managers. Clients come from every sector, and they share one thing: a level of responsibility that makes ordinary support inadequate.
Some arrive in crisis. Many arrive long before crisis, having recognised the early signs in themselves. Both are the right time to come.
If you lead, and you are carrying more than you can comfortably name, this work was designed for you.
Leaders experiencing burnout symptoms that rest and time off have not resolved.
Leaders recovering from significant business events: exits, disputes, failures, restructures, or public scrutiny.
Leaders navigating loss of identity, motivation crises, decision fatigue, or anxiety.
Leaders who are performing well externally and quietly struggling internally.
The first step
A Conversation, Not a Commitment
Every engagement begins with a private conversation.
There is no fee for an initial call, no obligation, and no pressure. Just a confidential conversation to understand your situation and whether this work is right for you.
