Stress & Burnout Coaching for Women

You don’t have to keep holding it all together.

You’ve been carrying too much for too long. The deadlines, the expectations, the invisible load no one else seems to see.

From the outside, you look capable and composed.
Inside, you’re running on empty.

Maybe you feel tense, irritable, foggy, tearful, or emotionally flat. Your patience is thin. Your sleep is light. You keep promising yourself you’ll rest “after this week” - but that week never comes. It’s as if the version of you who once had energy, focus, and enthusiasm has left the building.

This isn’t because you’re weak. It’s because your system is overloaded.
Your stress response has been working overtime to protect you - but it’s now stuck in survival mode.
Even when you stop, your body doesn’t know how to switch off.

This coaching is a calm, compassionate space to help you recover.
To help your nervous system feel safe again.
To move from constant overdrive to something gentler, steadier, and truly sustainable.

What This Coaching Offers

When stress becomes chronic, your nervous system gets stuck in “on” - alert, reactive, and unable to fully rest.
It’s not enough to “just relax.” Your system needs to relearn how to feel safe, recover, and restore balance.

This coaching brings together neuroscience, psychology, and holistic mind-body tools to help you gently return to calm, without forcing or pushing.

You’ll learn to:

🌿 Understand what’s happening in your brain and body during stress and burnout
🌿 Soothe your nervous system so you can finally rest and recover
🌿 Rebuild emotional steadiness and resilience, one small step at a time
🌿 Redefine productivity so you stop measuring your worth by output
🌿 Set healthy boundaries that protect your time and energy
🌿 Let go of guilt around rest and replenishment

This work meets you exactly where you are — no pressure, no performance. Just calm guidance and support as you rebuild your strength.

What We Work Towards

Using my Mental Freedom Framework, we’ll explore five key areas that help your system return to balance and ease:

  1. Recognise your triggers – Understand what drains you, what overstimulates your nervous system, and how your stress shows up in body and mind.

  2. Regulate your system – Learn science-based tools to move from fight-or-flight into calm recovery.

  3. Reframe your patterns – Gently challenge the beliefs that keep you pushing - “I can’t stop,” “I’ll let everyone down” - and replace them with healthier ones.

  4. Reconnect to balance – Redefine success so that calm, boundaries, and rest become part of your strength.

  5. Rise with resilience - Move through life’s challenges from steadiness, not survival - knowing you can handle what comes next without burning out again.

This is not about pushing harder. It’s about rewiring how you respond - so you can stay calm under pressure, recover quickly, and feel steady in your own skin.

My Approach: 🧠 The Mental Freedom Framework

Stress & Burnout Coaching is grounded in my Mental Freedom Framework - a structured, science-informed, soul-fuelled method developed through years of study and hundreds of hours coaching women who give everything until there’s nothing left.

It blends:

🧠 Neuroscience – understanding how the brain and body communicate under stress and how to retrain that system for calm.

💭 Psychology & Coaching Science – drawing on cognitive, behavioural, and positive psychology to rebuild emotional resilience.

🌿 Holistic Practices – mindfulness, breathwork, and nervous-system regulation to restore harmony between mind and body.

⚡️ Practical Tools – simple, evidence-based techniques to manage stress in real time and prevent burnout before it takes hold.

It’s science and compassion working together - helping you move from depletion to sustainable strength.

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
