Leadership Confidence Coaching for Women

Move past imposter syndrome and lead, speak, and succeed with calm, authentic confidence.

You’ve worked hard to get here - but part of you still wonders when everyone else will realise you’re not as capable as they think.

You question compliments, downplay achievements, and overprepare for every opportunity - convinced that competence means never getting it wrong.
Whether it’s speaking up in meetings, leading a team, handling a difficult conversation, or going for a promotion, you hold yourself to impossible standards - always striving to prove you deserve the success you’ve already earned.

You’re not lacking ability - you’re caught in a gap between who you are and what you believe about yourself.
That gap is what we call imposter syndrome - and it’s one of the most common barriers for women in leadership and progression.

This isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about feeling safe enough to own who you already are - your expertise, your value, and your voice.

Through leadership confidence coaching, you’ll learn to manage the fear that surfaces when you’re visible, quiet the inner critic, and lead with calm authority that feels authentic - not forced.

What This Coaching Offers

Imposter feelings don’t mean you’re not capable - they mean your self-perception hasn’t caught up with your success.
This coaching helps you close that gap.
We’ll combine neuroscience, psychology, and practical leadership tools to help you build genuine, grounded confidence that lasts under pressure.

You’ll learn to:

💫 Understand what triggers your imposter thoughts and performance anxiety
💫 Recognise how perfectionism and comparison hold you back professionally
💫 Rewire unhelpful thought patterns into self-trust and calm assurance
💫 Communicate with authority - without overthinking or self-editing
💫 Set boundaries that protect your confidence and wellbeing
💫 Step into visibility, leadership, or new opportunities with steady confidence

What We Work Towards

Using The Mental Freedom Framework, we’ll work through the core patterns that create imposter feelings and rebuild true leadership confidence:

  1. Identify your triggers - Notice where (and how) fear of failure or visibility hijacks your mind and behaviour.

  2. Normalise your mind - Understand the neuroscience of self-doubt so you can manage it, not be ruled by it.

  3. Reframe perfectionism - Challenge unrealistic standards that keep you trapped in “never enough.”

  4. Rewire self-belief - Strengthen new, evidence-based narratives about your capability and success.

  5. Regulate your inner critic - Use compassion-based tools to respond to pressure calmly and confidently.

  6. Reclaim ownership - Lead, speak, and make decisions from self-trust - not performance.

This isn’t a pep talk.
It’s a practical, science-backed process for changing how you think, lead, and show up - so you can finally feel as capable as you already are.

Real Women. Real Change.

  • “When I first reached out to Vivien, I was waking up with anxiety every morning, snapping at my kids, and overthinking every email I sent. I genuinely thought there was something wrong with me. Working with her has been the most transformative experience of my life - my mind feels quiet for the first time since I became a mum.”

    Laura H., Senior Project Manager & Mum of 3

  • “I’ve done therapy, coaching, mindfulness - nothing touched the root like this. Vivien helped me understand what was actually happening in my mind and body. I now set boundaries without guilt and feel steady in a way I didn't know was possible. It's been life-changing.”

    Priya M., HR Director

  • “I came to Vivien burnt out, overwhelmed, and convinced something was wrong with me. She helped me unravel the pressure I was putting on myself and taught me how to regulate my mind in ways no therapist ever has. I wish I’d found Vivien years ago!"

    Hannah C., Marketing Consultant & Mum of 2

  • “As a GP, I knew the science of stress - but I couldn’t apply it to myself. I was constantly braced, waking up with a knot in my chest, and overthinking every interaction. Vivien’s approach was the missing link. For the first time in my adult life, my anxiety doesn’t run the show. My internal world feels...kind. Thank you so much, Vivien!”

    Emma R., GP & Mum of 2

  • “I didn’t realise how much energy I was wasting on overthinking until it stopped. Vivien helped me see it for what it was. I now have space in my mind, space in my day, and space for myself. Vivien’s work is powerful.”

    Sophie L., Tech Product Lead & Newly Single Mum

  • “I was sceptical, but this is the first time anything has actually changed my internal world. I no longer start the day in survival mode. I feel steady, clear, and so much kinder to myself.”

    Rachel K., Entrepreneur

  • Vivien is the best! She taught me so much and I am forever grateful. I can honestly say I feel calm and peaceful most of my days. I now live without fear and from a place of gratitude and excitement. Cannot recommend this woman enough!

    Amelia B, Business Owner & Single Mum of 1

  • “When I started with Vivien, I couldn’t see a way out of the stress cycle I was in. I’d switched jobs twice thinking things would get better, but the anxiety always followed me. For the first time, I feel in control of my mind - not the other way around. I’m sleeping better, making clearer decisions, and feeling hopeful again.”

    Liz R., Head of Innovation, Recently Returned from Maternity Leave

  • “I highly recommend Vivien - she brought me through a tough transitional period with a huge amount of support, compassion and practical advice. By the end of my first session, Vivien had created a pathway to helping build a better mindset with practical tools that I continue to practice today. In short, Vivien is awesome, a positive force and a brilliant guide towards a better future.”

    Sam B, Marketing Manager
