Therapy and Coaching Often Get It Wrong

You and me are going to work differently.

A lot of therapy and coaching asks women to fix themselves. I find that exhausting on your behalf. You don’t need to be fixed. You need to lift the burdens that have been piled on you  clear the physical stress response that often comes with a dysregulated nervous system.

I Offer This Work Because I Needed It

I’m Charlotte, a nervous system practitioner and trauma-informed coach based in Shrewsbury who serves clients worldwide.

Before this, I was the woman in the high-stress corporate job. And then the woman with the ‘successful’ business who couldn’t switch off. The one who understood her patterns – but still felt them running the show.

I trained in embodiment coaching (based on Polyvagal theory) because therapy alone hadn’t helped my stress and anxiety. Meanwhile, trauma-informed embodiment coaching shifted my anxiety in ways therapy hadn’t managed.

Now I support women who are ready for that same shift – in their work, relationships, and sense of self.

Meet me properly

High-Functioning Doesn't Mean Fine

You’re good at being what everyone needs. You show up. You deliver. You hold it together. And somewhere along the way, the version of you who knew what she wanted got harder to find.

The Career: Maybe you’re in a high-stress role that looks prestigious + pays well (or not) but is costing you your peace, health, time, and sanity.

The Motherhood Shift: Maybe the person you were before having children doesn’t fit anymore + you’re no longer sure who you are.

The Patterns: Maybe you’ve spent years pleasing others + you don’t know how to take up the space you deserve now.

The Frustration: Maybe you’ve tried therapy. You understand your past. But your nervous system is still stuck in survival mode.

Thank You Notes

Before working with Charlotte, I felt excited but stuck in moving forward with rounding off a training certification and creating my offer so I could start my business. However, I felt comfortable, safe, and great during the coaching experience. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to gain so much wonderful insight from my body about my new business offer, especially the tightness in my hips, which had been keeping me stuck and made it difficult to move forward/take steps.

Now, I still feel good, I feel motivated, and I don't feel the business offer to be 'daunting' anymore. I feel excited to create! I've even been to the beach to start my plans, taking steps after just one call. So, don't hesitate, book the coaching. Charlotte holds a beautiful space for you and is able to support you comfortably and at ease, even when uncomfortable feelings come up. She is able to allow the softness to show up as well. I felt so supported that she was able to switch so smoothly between my heavier feelings and still being able to find the softness within me.
I started coaching with Charlotte really hoping to come away with some direction for my new business. The coaching was incredible. The techniques used, and the reflection back, really worked! I'm still blown away by the clarity I came away with on my steps forward. I was surprised at how I was instantly taken past all of my overwhelming thoughts and ideas and straight to the direction I was seeking. It was a truly magical experience. Now, I'm feeling excited about my future, my business, and the steps I need to take to get there. No more overthinking! If you’re considering receiving coaching, just do it. Your future self will thank you for it.
Before working with Charlotte, I was feeling tired, scattered, and in need of direction. It was eye-opening how quickly Charlotte was able to make me feel relaxed and gently guide me to find my own solutions. The emotions I had buried that surfaced caught me off guard, and we found solutions to the fear those emotions brought up. If you are considering this programme, go for it. You will be in great hands. You will feel safe, held, and seen in the magical space Charlotte creates. She is doing something very special and has the knowledge and skills to facilitate real change in people if they want it.
Before working with Charlotte, I felt frazzled, tired, and a bit all over the place. However, I felt so very nurtured, held, and seen as I entered the coaching space. I felt Charlotte’s sincerity and warmth right away. She was really able to drill down and clearly articulate what I had going on. After just one session, I now feel at ease and I'm finding that I can have space between work and create moments of rest for myself. So I would tell anyone considering working with Charlotte to do the fucking thing. She has great warmth and an amazing capacity to hold others. She is just so sincere, and that truly shines throughout.
Before working with Charlotte, I was curious and a bit nervous because the topics I was bringing felt quite tender. However, Charlotte has an openness that made me feel comfortable. I never felt afraid to bring things up or worried about being judged. She validated my experience, which really helped me feel less alone – and less weird! She is deeply understanding, kind, and genuinely open to new people. It’s clear that she puts a lot of thought and care into her work, and I truly appreciate how thorough she is. I appreciate her kindness, her thoroughness, the precision in her communication, and her compassion.
Before working with Charlotte, I felt agitated and defeated. But Charlotte led me through a drop-in process that was top notch, helping me relax into the experience. I really appreciated how she matched my energy – I was angry at my situation and she really validated that. I was able to finally word out loud that I needed to set better boundaries at work and that I was exhausted with the dynamics. Since working with Charlotte, I’ve been able to have conversations with my manager about how to make my work more aligned to my goals and needs, and I’ve also started to consider new positions.
Charlotte made me feel comfortable and helped me explore what I want to put out in the world next as I go out on my own after recently leaving corporate. She has an incredible energy that's contagious. I left feeling more sure of my future direction and excited about next steps.
Before working with Charlotte, I was stuck due to the change I am making from a corporate career of 20 years to starting for myself. She brings such a beautiful energy to sessions. I felt completely seen and held by her. She really understands what one is going through making a change in career.

Since working with Charlotte, I feel much more sure in the choice I have made to switch from my corporate career to starting for myself.
Before working with Charlotte, I had some apprehension as I knew I would feel vulnerable talking about certain emotions. However, I knew this was what I wanted to do. I really enjoyed my coaching experience. Charlotte provided a safe and friendly space to explore particular emotions, and she empowered me to look into how these were impacting my life.

I felt comfortable communicating in depth, and Charlotte helped me perceive things from a different perspective. I surprised myself at how my brain really tuned into exploring possible links to certain emotions, which was helped by how comfortable I felt with Charlotte coaching me. I can now happily acknowledge the feelings that we focused on and not shy away from them. I can see clearly how these emotions impact my life, both in my past and in my present. Going forward I can tackle these emotions with an understanding of why I may experience these. I absolutely would highly recommend Charlotte! Give coaching a go. You will not regret it.
Before working with Charlotte, I felt a bit stuck as I wasn’t moving forward with my new coaching business. Charlotte created a very safe space to feel into both my fears and excitement. I was surprised by the way my body spoke to me. Not editing or denying the visuals and sensations that came up led to great insights and realisations. By the end of one session, I felt confident in the next step I needed to take towards setting up my new business. Charlotte’s enquiry allowed me to feel into what was present in my own body, to draw insights and decide on my next action towards my goal. Highly recommend.
