1-1 Therapeutic Coaching.

BRISTOL & ONLINE

Reflective, practical support to help you feel calmer, clearer and more confident in yourself.

When you reach a quiet tipping point.

On the outside, you’ve got it together. You’re managing work, relationships, and daily life. But inside, it feels exhausting.

You’re stuck in overthinking: Second-guessing decisions, replay conversations, or carrying a constant underlying sense of anxiety.
You’re trapped in old patterns: Saying yes when you mean no, putting everyone else first, or feeling like you're constantly on edge.
You’re at a crossroads: Experiencing a major life shift, feeling burnt out, or simply realising that the way you’ve been living isn't working anymore.

You don't need to be in crisis to seek support - you just need to be ready for things to feel different.

What shifts when we work together.

Change rarely happens all at once. It starts in quiet, everyday moments:
Mental Calm: Feeling less consumed by anxious thoughts and learning how to quiet the internal critic.
Self-Trust: Making decisions with clarity and confidence, without needing constant external reassurance.
Clear Boundaries: Expressing what you need easily and setting boundaries without a wave of guilt.
Emotional Resilience: Handling stressful moments and life transitions without feeling completely derailed.

Where insight meets practical momentum.

Traditional therapy often focuses primarily on the past, while standard coaching can push for quick solutions without addressing root causes. Therapeutic coaching bridges both.
We explore what’s underneath: We uncover the experiences, beliefs, and nervous system responses shaping how you feel today.
We build practical movement: We equip you with concrete tools, communication strategies, and mindsets to try out between sessions.
You gain deep self-understanding alongside the practical skills to handle whatever life throws your way.

A clear shape to our work together.

We start with an initial rhythm of 8 weekly or fortnightly sessions (50 minutes each). This gives us enough time to understand what’s happening, introduce new tools, and embed real change into your everyday life.

Session 1: We define your focus and what you want to be different.
Session 4: We review progress, see what's shifting, and adjust as needed.
Session 8: We evaluate how far you've come, consolidate your practical toolkit, and decide if you'd like ongoing support.

Investment:

£640 when paid upfront in full (£80/session)
£85 per session if paying as you go

Sessions take place in person at my practice in Bedminster, Bristol (BS3) or online.

What Clients Say

“I came to Vivien at a point where I felt completely stuck about my next step in life. Our sessions gave me space to think properly and understand what was really driving my indecision. Vivien has a wonderful ability to ask the right questions while also offering practical insight. I left each session feeling lighter and clearer, and over time I found the confidence to make decisions I had been avoiding for years.”

Laura H., Senior Project Manager
“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 more comfortably and feel much steadier in situations that used to trigger a lot of anxiety. It's been life-changing.”

Priya M., HR Director
“I came to Vivien burnt out, overwhelmed, and convinced something was wrong with me. Vivien helped me slow down, understand what was driving that pattern, and develop ways to approach things differently. Over time I’ve become much calmer and more intentional in how I make decisions and structure my life. 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 helped me connect that knowledge with what was actually happening in my day-to-day experience. My internal world now feels much calmer and kinder, and I approach situations with far more perspective. Thank you so much Vivien!”

Emma R., GP & Mum of 2
“I was sceptical at first, but working with Vivien helped me see patterns I’d been stuck in for years. Gradually things started to shift. I no longer start the day in survival mode, and I’m much clearer in how I think and make decisions.”

Ben 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
"Our work together helped me see patterns in my relationships that I had never really understood before. Vivien creates a space that feels thoughtful and non-judgemental, which made it much easier to talk openly about difficult things. At the same time, the sessions were always practical and forward-moving. I’ve noticed real changes in how I communicate and how I handle difficult conversations."

James R., Business Owner & Dad of 2
"Working with Vivien gave us space to slow down and actually hear each other properly for the first time in a long time. We’d fallen into the same arguments over and over again and couldn’t seem to break the pattern. Vivien helped us understand what was really happening underneath those conversations and gave us practical ways to communicate differently. Things feel much calmer between us now, and we handle disagreements in a much more constructive way.

James & Laura
"We came to Vivien at a point where we felt quite distant from each other and weren’t sure how to get back on track. The sessions helped us understand each other’s perspectives in a way we hadn’t managed on our own. Vivien created a space where both of us felt heard, and we began to see the patterns that were keeping us stuck. It helped us reconnect and feel like we were working as a team again."

Sophie & Daniel
"What stood out about working with Vivien was the balance between insight and practical tools. We didn’t just talk about problems — we learned ways to approach conversations differently and understand what was driving our reactions. That’s made a real difference in everyday life. Our relationship feels much more stable and supportive now."

Hello, I’m Vivien.

For over a decade, I’ve supported hundreds of individuals through periods of burnout, self-doubt, anxiety, and major life shifts.

My background spans professional coaching, clinical hypnotherapy, and counseling. That means we won't just talk in circles about the past, nor will we apply superficial, quick-fix goal setting. Instead, we combine deep reflective space with concrete, real-world tools—helping you understand why you feel stuck and giving you the skills to move forward.

I’m a quiet champion of people finding their own way in the world—imperfectly, wholeheartedly, and with a clarity that is genuinely their own.

Each session is a focused, supportive conversation that combines exploration, insight, and practical tools. We’ll explore what’s happening, untangle what’s keeping you stuck, and create clear, actionable steps you can use straight away.
You can choose to meet in person at my practice in Bristol or online via Google Meet. Many clients like to mix both, depending on schedule and preference.
Most clients start noticing tangible shifts within the first few sessions. Deeper mindset and behaviour changes develop over time with practice and support.
I work with new clients in an initial eight-session rhythm, meeting weekly or fortnightly.
You can pay £640 in full (£80 per session), or £85 per session as we go.
I also reserve a small number of reduced-rate spaces for people who might not otherwise be able to access coaching with me. Please get in touch if you’d like to talk about this.
