The overworked conservationist - You're worried that if you don’t do ‘it’ no-one will. You end up taking on more work than you have time for. You feel guilty not checking your email at night ‘just in case’, you lie awake thinking of things you haven’t done or wake up in the night and write yourself notes to add to your to-do list. Busyness has become a bit of a badge of honour for you but you’re starting to worry you might be heading towards a burnout and want some help figuring out how to avoid this.

The tireless, dedicated, conservation leader - You’ve dedicated your life to working for a good cause, whether environmental or social. The scale of the problem you are working on is so huge, you wonder how you can ever rest and feel relaxed, knowing that there’s so much to do. Your work has been your life and your life is your work but lately you’ve started to wonder what you’re missing out on. You noticed in lockdown that ‘having a life’ was even harder and you’re feeling a bit isolated. You can't afford to burn-out because the world needs you now more than ever before. Together we can work out what a more balanced life looks like for you so you can keep pursuing your passion without sacrificing your wellbeing.

Individual sessions or monthly packages. I generally work with monthly packages as it often makes goal setting easier. It also provides a bit more flexibility to schedule in extra time from your package allowance to prepare for life events such as interviews. The number of sessions included in each package are listed - sessions will normally be 90 minutes. For monthly packages, sessions can vary in length and these will be deducted from the overall hourly allocation.

Contact me for one-off session rates and session-only rates.

All packages include a personal session outline which we will discuss and decide together.

All packages include a free 45 min reflection call 3-6 months after the package ends to discuss progress.

These rates are for individuals paying for themselves, contact me for organisation rates.
