You've Done the Work But You're Still Stuck

You understand your patterns – where they came from, why they show up. You've journalled and meditated and read all the right books. And yet...

You still freeze when you want to stand up for yourself. Your relationships still follow the same script. Your nervous system is still braced for impact, even when there’s no impact coming.

As a nervous system practitioner based in Shrewsbury (and online), I’ll go beyond the brain with you. We’ll shift into the physical, emotional, and energetic too. This means you don’t need to have the right words or explain what you’ve been through in detail. You don’t have to relive painful memories.

Clients often describe sessions as feeling somewhere between talking therapy and hypnotherapy.

Let Me Help You...

Stop Studying Your Pain and Start Living Past It

You are highly intelligent. You can articulate why you’re facing challenges, what your childhood wounds are, and what your triggers mean.

But you also know that understanding your difficulties doesn’t help you move on from them.

Find a Soft Place to Land (Within Yourself)

You are the ‘strong one’. The one who takes care of everyone else.

You want to drop the armour without collapsing. You want to be able to sit still without feeling like you’re vibrating out of your skin.

Relieve Yourself of the ‘Second Tax’

You’re tired of paying the emotional tax on everything you do.

You can deliver a flawless presentation, set a boundary, or make a major life choice, but you pay for it with a 3:00 AM wake-up call, a tight jaw, and hours of second-guessing.

It's Time for Visceral, Unshakeable Relief

with the Secure Self Model

I designed the Secure Self Model based on my training in nervous system regulation. It highlights the core issues my clients often experience (subconscious identity patterns, shame, and fear of the future), the way these can integrate, and the outcome of working through them with me as your practitioner.

Having a secure self means:

Speaking up confidently without doubt instead of shrinking.

Setting boundaries that come from self-respect rather than resentment.

Trusting your decisions, even the big ones, + feeling steady in them.

Enjoying calmer relationships that don’t cost your well-being.

Holding emotional stability with ease… even on the hard days.

Feeling safe to be fully, visibly you around anyone (yes, even that person).

The Secure Self Model Explores Three Experiences:

Fear of the Future

Transitions are disorienting. Leaving a relationship, becoming a mum, changing careers, losing someone you love – these ruptures crack your identity open.

The ‘dark night of the soul’ is difficult, but it’s the space where something new can be born.

Subconscious Identity Patterns

You’ve tried to think your way out of patterns that keep returning, but mindset work only addresses the top of the iceberg.

We’ll go below the waterline – exploring the somatics of tension rather than replaying the events that caused it.

Shame

Shame lives in hiding. When we push down the parts of ourselves we’ve been told aren’t acceptable – the anger, the need, the desire, the grief – we create a quiet but persistent sense of not being good enough.

We’ll gently uncover the shame that’s been buried and release it so you no longer carry the burden.

Who You'll Be Talking To

I’m Charlotte – a nervous system practitioner, trauma-informed embodiment coach, and former corporate marketing exec who spent years achieving everything on the outside while my nervous system quietly unravelled on the inside.

When I finally understood that no amount of strategy, thinking, or willpower was going to fix a dysregulated nervous system, I trained in embodiment coaching (based on Polyvagal theory). Then everything shifted: my business, my relationships, my relationship with myself.

I’ve supported women through identity transitions, burnout recovery, self-worth rebuilding, people-pleasing patterns, career pivots, and the overwhelm of becoming a mum while still trying to know yourself.

Where You Are and Where You're Going

Right now, you might be someone who:

Gives so much in relationships + work that there’s barely anything left for you.

Finds it impossible to make a decision without spiralling into doubt, anxiety, + confusion.

Has done talking therapy + found it helpful to a point – but your body is still vibrating with stress.

Is going through a major life transition + feels like the person you used to be no longer fits.

Is ready to build something new – a career, a truer identity – but fear has you frozen.

On the Other Side of This Work, My Clients Experience:

Relationships that feel more reciprocal + less exhausting.

Fierce confidence in their judgement + fewer f***s about what people think.

 Clarity about what they want from their career, relationships, + selves.

A quieter mind (because their nervous system has regulated). 

A body that finally feels safe to live in, enjoying sovereignty + calm.

We’ll build the middle part – the how – together, specifically for you.

A Few Things I Get Asked

Yes. Talking therapy works brilliantly at creating understanding. Embodiment and nervous system regulation goes into the physical residue that understanding alone can’t always clear. You don’t need to re-explain your history. We work with what your body is holding right now.

The modality I’m trained in is embodiment coaching, which is rooted in Polyvagal theory – a well-established framework in nervous system science. Sessions begin with grounding and include somatic practices. So if body-based and holistic approaches interest you, you’ll love this. If you’re looking for a purely clinical talking therapy, I’ll signpost you elsewhere.

Yes – and you’re probably one of the women this work is best suited for. A lot of my clients come in feeling a vague but unshakeable sense that something isn’t right, without being able to name exactly what.

We start with a gifted session. I won’t pitch my services to you in this session. It’s 100% to help you.

If, based on the gifted session, we are a good fit for a longer-term partnership, you can request a custom plan. I will then propose a coaching journey to help you reach the transformation you’re looking for. You can choose whether or not you’d like to move forward with this plan.

Client Love Letters

I started coaching with Charlotte really hoping to come away with some direction for my new business. The coaching was incredible. The techniques used, and the reflection back, really worked! I'm still blown away by the clarity I came away with on my steps forward. I was surprised at how I was instantly taken past all of my overwhelming thoughts and ideas and straight to the direction I was seeking. It was a truly magical experience. Now, I'm feeling excited about my future, my business, and the steps I need to take to get there. No more overthinking! If you’re considering receiving coaching, just do it. Your future self will thank you for it.
Before working with Charlotte, I was feeling tired, scattered, and in need of direction. It was eye-opening how quickly Charlotte was able to make me feel relaxed and gently guide me to find my own solutions. The emotions I had buried that surfaced caught me off guard, and we found solutions to the fear those emotions brought up. If you are considering this programme, go for it. You will be in great hands. You will feel safe, held, and seen in the magical space Charlotte creates. She is doing something very special and has the knowledge and skills to facilitate real change in people if they want it.
Before working with Charlotte, I felt excited but stuck in moving forward with rounding off a training certification and creating my offer so I could start my business. However, I felt comfortable, safe, and great during the coaching experience. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to gain so much wonderful insight from my body about my new business offer, especially the tightness in my hips, which had been keeping me stuck and made it difficult to move forward/take steps.

Now, I still feel good, I feel motivated, and I don't feel the business offer to be 'daunting' anymore. I feel excited to create! I've even been to the beach to start my plans, taking steps after just one call. So, don't hesitate, book the coaching. Charlotte holds a beautiful space for you and is able to support you comfortably and at ease, even when uncomfortable feelings come up. She is able to allow the softness to show up as well. I felt so supported that she was able to switch so smoothly between my heavier feelings and still being able to find the softness within me.
Before working with Charlotte, I felt frazzled, tired, and a bit all over the place. However, I felt so very nurtured, held, and seen as I entered the coaching space. I felt Charlotte’s sincerity and warmth right away. She was really able to drill down and clearly articulate what I had going on. After just one session, I now feel at ease and I'm finding that I can have space between work and create moments of rest for myself. So I would tell anyone considering working with Charlotte to do the fucking thing. She has great warmth and an amazing capacity to hold others. She is just so sincere, and that truly shines throughout.
Before working with Charlotte, I was curious and a bit nervous because the topics I was bringing felt quite tender. However, Charlotte has an openness that made me feel comfortable. I never felt afraid to bring things up or worried about being judged. She validated my experience, which really helped me feel less alone – and less weird! She is deeply understanding, kind, and genuinely open to new people. It’s clear that she puts a lot of thought and care into her work, and I truly appreciate how thorough she is. I appreciate her kindness, her thoroughness, the precision in her communication, and her compassion.
Before working with Charlotte, I felt agitated and defeated. But Charlotte led me through a drop-in process that was top notch, helping me relax into the experience. I really appreciated how she matched my energy – I was angry at my situation and she really validated that. I was able to finally word out loud that I needed to set better boundaries at work and that I was exhausted with the dynamics. Since working with Charlotte, I’ve been able to have conversations with my manager about how to make my work more aligned to my goals and needs, and I’ve also started to consider new positions.
Charlotte made me feel comfortable and helped me explore what I want to put out in the world next as I go out on my own after recently leaving corporate. She has an incredible energy that's contagious. I left feeling more sure of my future direction and excited about next steps.
Before working with Charlotte, I was stuck due to the change I am making from a corporate career of 20 years to starting for myself. She brings such a beautiful energy to sessions. I felt completely seen and held by her. She really understands what one is going through making a change in career.

Since working with Charlotte, I feel much more sure in the choice I have made to switch from my corporate career to starting for myself.
Before working with Charlotte, I had some apprehension as I knew I would feel vulnerable talking about certain emotions. However, I knew this was what I wanted to do. I really enjoyed my coaching experience. Charlotte provided a safe and friendly space to explore particular emotions, and she empowered me to look into how these were impacting my life.

I felt comfortable communicating in depth, and Charlotte helped me perceive things from a different perspective. I surprised myself at how my brain really tuned into exploring possible links to certain emotions, which was helped by how comfortable I felt with Charlotte coaching me. I can now happily acknowledge the feelings that we focused on and not shy away from them. I can see clearly how these emotions impact my life, both in my past and in my present. Going forward I can tackle these emotions with an understanding of why I may experience these. I absolutely would highly recommend Charlotte! Give coaching a go. You will not regret it.
Before working with Charlotte, I felt a bit stuck as I wasn’t moving forward with my new coaching business. Charlotte created a very safe space to feel into both my fears and excitement. I was surprised by the way my body spoke to me. Not editing or denying the visuals and sensations that came up led to great insights and realisations. By the end of one session, I felt confident in the next step I needed to take towards setting up my new business. Charlotte’s enquiry allowed me to feel into what was present in my own body, to draw insights and decide on my next action towards my goal. Highly recommend.

A Note

I am not a psychotherapist. If you’re in acute crisis or require clinical mental health support, I’ll gently encourage you to seek that first. This work is best experienced by women who are ready to explore and grow, not in the middle of a mental health emergency. If you’re unsure, reach out – I’ll be honest about whether this feels like the right fit.

You’ve Scrolled This Far...

Investing in yourself when you’re already depleted can feel like a lot to ask. I get that. And I’d rather you reach out with your questions than talk yourself out of something that might genuinely change things for you.
