Is This You

You want to lead with greater clarity and have a deeper impact.

You take on too much

You are in every decision, every thread, every escalation. Handing something over feels risky, so you stay braced and keep hold of it. Your team can do the work but your system doesn't trust that it's safe to step back.

 

You can't rest

A free evening leaves you restless, and on holiday it takes a few days before you settle, if you ever do. Your body is quick to switch on and has forgotten how to switch off. Even when there is nothing demanding your attention, part of you remains alert, anticipating what might come next.

 

Imposter syndrome

You appear composed and capable, yet beneath the surface, self doubt keeps you questioning your place, your decisions and whether you truly measure up.

You have gone quiet inside

You still perform, but the drive has thinned. Things that used to matter feel flat, and you feel detached in meetings or blank when a real decision is needed. After years of running hot, your system may have started to shut down to cope. It's easy to mistake that for lost motivation.

 

If this resonates, SPIRA is designed for leaders who are ready to do the deeper work.

Let's talk about it
What Drives It

What we work with.

What brings leaders to this work is rarely one event or one pressure point. It is a set of deeply ingrained patterns formed long before the career, the seniority, the responsibility — that high-performance environments amplify until they can no longer be managed through discipline alone.

What Lies Beyond Achievement

You've achieved a great deal, and it hasn't settled what you expected it to. We look at what your sense of worth rests on when results aren't the measure.

 

The Leader You’re Becoming

How you handle pressure sets the tone for your whole team. We work on the leader you are when it's tight, not only when things are going well.

 

The Relationships That Matter

Closeness requires a settled enough nervous system. After years running hot, other people's needs can feel like one more demand. We work on finding the thread of real connection again.

 

Knowing But Not Changing

You understand your patterns and still repeat them, because the response starts in the body before the thinking does. We work at that level, catching the early signals so understanding can change what you do in the moment.

 

The Need To Carry It All

People rely on you, and stepping back can feel risky. We work with what keeps you holding on, so you can share responsibility without feeling everything rests on you.

 

Freedom To Be Fully You

You've spent years meeting expectations, and it's hard to know what you'd choose without them. We work on separating what's yours from what you learned to do, so your choices come from you.

 

The Approach

Leadership coaching that goes beyond the usual.

Most leadership coaching works with what you think, what you do and what you want to change. SPIRA goes further, working with the patterns that shape you under pressure, in both mind and body. That’s what helps insight become real change, not just another thing you understand.

S

Sense

Access information beyond the thinking mind and recognise what your body knows before you consciously do.

P

Pattern

Recognise the beliefs, behaviours and strategies shaping how you think, lead and respond.

I

Integrate

Bring mind and body together so insight becomes a deeper way of knowing and being.

R

Regulate

Build the inner capacity to stay present, open and powerful in the moments that matter.

A

Anchor

Turn new possibilities into a way of living, leading and relating that feels truly your own.

This is what the commitment looks like in practice.

 
How It Works

A focused coaching engagement, built around your leadership.

Work begins with a private intake conversation to understand where you are, what is at stake, and what you want to change. From there, we agree the focus, pace and shape of the coaching around your role and priorities.
Sessions are purposeful and confidential, creating space to work on the situations that matter most, from leadership presence and decision making to relationships, pressure and the parts of leadership that rarely get discussed openly.

Online

60 minute one to one coaching sessions, held online.
Sessions are focused and purposeful, with space to step back from the demands of the role and look at what is really happening.

At Your Premises

The same coaching engagement, conducted at your premises when preferred. Currently available in Limassol only.

Arrangements discussed on enquiry.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is the foundation of this work. Everything shared within sessions remains entirely private.

The work can continue, deepen or conclude as your leadership needs evolve.

Why This Works

I know this world from the inside.

I spent over a decade as a senior leader in global financial services. I know what it is to be the person in the room who has to hold everything together — the pressure, the visibility, the performance that doesn’t stop when you close the laptop. I also know what that costs over time, because I lived it.

I trained as a psychologist and counsellor before that career, and I am currently completing Somatic Experiencing practitioner training. SPIRA grew from a specific question I couldn’t find anyone else answering: what do you do when you understand yourself well and it still isn’t enough? The answer required both worlds — the clinical training and the lived experience of what high performance actually demands.

  • BSc Psychology
  • MSc Counselling
  • CBT
  • Mindfulness-Based Approaches
  • Addiction Counselling
  • Somatic Experiencing (in training)
  • 10 years clinical practice
  • 10+ years senior leadership
