Trauma-Aware Leadership Coaching - For leaders who know that real strength begins with self-understanding

Not all leadership coaching is created equal

You might be doing a good job—hitting your targets, holding things together, staying composed. But underneath, there’s a current of tension: a sense of being on high alert, difficulty trusting others, emotional fatigue, or moments where you feel unexpectedly triggered or shut down.

This coaching is for leaders who want to grow and lead well without ignoring their lived experiences. You might have past trauma, difficult life events, or simply a heightened sensitivity to people and pressure. Whatever your story, this space is here to support your leadership and your humanity.


When past experiences shape how you lead

You may be:

  • Struggling with trust, boundaries, or people-pleasing
  • Constantly scanning for potential conflict or rejection
  • Holding back your voice or overcompensating for self-doubt
  • Feeling emotionally exhausted or disconnected
  • Finding it hard to switch off, soften, or delegate
  • Taking on more than your fair share—and paying the price

These patterns aren’t signs of weakness. They’re adaptations that helped you survive.

In a trauma-aware coaching space, we work with compassion and curiosity to understand these patterns—and gently shift them so you can lead from a more grounded, empowered place.


What this coaching supports you to do

  • Feel safer and more stable in emotionally charged situations
  • Set clearer boundaries without guilt or second-guessing
  • Handle feedback and conflict without spiraling
  • Step into leadership without betraying yourself
  • Reconnect with your strengths, vision, and values
  • Build relationships at work that feel trusting and manageable
  • Reduce the cost of leadership on your body, mind, and energy

  • A psychologically safe space for growth

    This coaching isn’t therapy, but it is trauma-informed. That means:

    • We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable
    • You’re never pushed to disclose anything before you're ready
    • We integrate somatic and emotional awareness where helpful
    • Sessions are based in respect, consent, and co-creation
    • Your survival strategies are never judged—only explored with care

    My background includes work in positive psychology, trauma-aware wellbeing, emotional intelligence, and leadership development. I’ve supported senior professionals, founders, and purpose-driven leaders to navigate high-stakes environments with greater calm, presence, and clarity.


    Is this for you?

    You may already know that your leadership is shaped by past adversity. Or maybe you just sense that there’s something deeper going on behind certain stress responses or relationship challenges at work.

    If you’re seeking coaching that respects your inner life and your leadership ambitions, you’re in the right place.
