for creative professionals who are feeling lost within themselves and their identity
Feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure what direction to take next?
UK based on line 1:1 coaching for when you feel that you are changing and need help to navigate and understand what you are going through.
Your Current Reality
On the surface…
Everything looks good, you have created a successful career, financial stability and a fulfilling home life.
But beneath the surface…
Something’s off and you can’t quite put your finger on what it is, you just don’t feel like yourself any more.
There is a friction you feel inside you that you don’t understand what it means or where it’s coming from. You feel like you’re going through the motions of life without being fully engaged or fulfilled with your surroundings.
You are feeling disconnected from yourself, and confused about how you actually feel. Sometimes you feel numb struggling to feel anything, other times you are battling a range of emotions from low level persistent anxiety in the pit of your stomach, to full blown all consuming stress and mental overwhelm.
No matter what you try nothing seems to work and you end up in a never ending cycle of repeated thoughts and behaviour, exhausting and draining your energy, leaving you utterly fed up of feeling this way.
For the first time in your life you are feeling lost within the identity you have created, you just don’t think and feel the same as you used to.
The decisions you once made with effortless ease now feel challenging as you struggle to find the clarity on what direction to take next.
You just don’t enjoy the same things you used to but you are afraid of the impact these new feelings will have on your life. You have less clarity about your purpose in life as your priorities change.
You’ve been trying to make sense of it all on your own but you are going in circles not getting anywhere apart from putting strain on your mental and emotional wellbeing, causing you to dysregulate your nervous system in the process.
You know you need to address your health and wellbeing but you don’t know how or where to start.
You are desperately craving some clarity and peace of mind about what you do next. You need rest bite from your mind and the sabotaging internal narrative.
Sometimes you need to pause and recognise that you need help and that you can’t figure this out on your own.
The problem with holding everything together is that at some point, you are going to come unstuck. You cannot avoid the fact that without intervention, these symptoms will continue to dominate your mind and body, pushing you further away from yourself, keeping you emotionally numb and mentally exhausted.
we evolve as we age making it harder to maintain an outdated identity
If you’re thinking “I don’t know who I am any more” then it’s likely you have outgrown your current identity.
When you start to lose your sense of self it can leave you feeling lost and lonely.
Ignoring or avoiding this internal shift won’t make it go away.
At some point you have to acknowledge what’s going on for you beneath the surface.
Are you looking for external solutions for an internal problem?
If you’ve spent your life side lining your emotional needs in favour of your external pursuits and achievements, you pay the price further down the road when you are faced with mental exhausted and emotional disconnect.
Persistent stress and anxiety and a direct implication of ignoring your emotional needs, which is causing so many people to experience burnout.
Identifying what you are actually looking for help with can be confusing and overwhelming. It’s common to not know where to start, usually because there are several areas that need your attention, this is what leads people to feel stuck about what to do next.
Often what you think the issue is, tends to be a symptom of the true meaning that sits beneath it.
The relationship you have with yourself and the story and beliefs attached to it directly impact every area of your life, but most importantly, it affects how you see yourself and the way you feel inside.
Carrying around an outdated identity that hasn’t been designed to nurture, encourage or love you, over time poisons your mind and body, leaving you feeling like an alien in your own skin.
Your identity and the coping mechanisms attached to it have now served their purpose, it’s time to reattune to your emotional needs by creating resilience and acceptance to restore your internal balance for your future health and prosperity.
who I’m helping…
I work with UK based creatives and creative professionals. Although every human is creative, I am specifically referring to individuals who are actively following creative pursuits as a profession or way of life. I’m not from a corporate background and as much as I’m not fluffy or ethereal in my demeanour, I am more aligned to creatively minded individuals.
I work with both men and women between the ages of 30 to 50 +. I don’t feel people starting out would benefit from my help. My specialities are better suited to people who are already established within themselves and their careers.
Although you are willing, you are not currently managing your internal environment, at the moment, the relationship with yourself is somewhat of an after thought.
You are committed to improving the relationship you have with yourself as a matter of priority, using sustainable practices that build habits to help you create long lasting change from the inside out.

the coach
Hi,
I’m Harriet, a fully qualified personal performance coach based in the UK. I offer private online 1:1 coaching for creative professionals, who are feeling lost within themselves and uncertain about what to do next
My ethos is to keep it simple and focus on the core elements that lead to long lasting change. I prefer to use streamlined approaches rather than overly complicated frameworks making it easier for you to digest and implement actions.
I spent the vast majority of my life avoiding myself and ignoring my emotional needs working and playing hard until I was exhausted and fed up from trying to please everyone except me.
The sooner you start to listen to what your body is trying to tell you the sooner you will reconnect to yourself creating internal balance and external alignment.
Clients words
don’t sacrifice your potential for the sake of an outdated story!
No one is too old, too busy or too broken to be able to reconnect to themselves. The relationship you have with yourself is too important to side line any longer.
Once you start doing the work, in the end you’ll realise, it was all so simple…
