Executive Coaching
Burnout, leadership, neurodivergence & imposter syndrome
Building something - a career, a business, a startup - is hard. Building something while also managing a team, keeping investors happy, dealing with uncertainty and trying not to fall apart is a lot.
If you're stressed, overwhelmed, second guessing yourself, or think you’re on the verge of burnout, I can help.
I’ve burned out three times and narrowly avoided it on multiple more occasions. I’ve also suffered from imposter syndrome and undiagnosed neurodivergence throughout most of my career.
I built Goth Boss Studios so that no-one else has to struggle in the same ways I did.
I want to help you achieve sustainable success.
What I help with
Burnout - I’m passionate about helping you achieve sustainable success, where you aren’t constantly running on empty
Imposter Syndrome - building your confidence and courage when you’re new to a role or industry
Neurodivergence - I was late diagnosed with ADHD at 41 and awaiting my AuDHD diagnosis. Neurodivergence has its own unique challenges in leadership and I can help you through that from lived experience.
Leadership - Whether you’re new to running a team, or a long-time leader I can help you with team problems, redundancies, hiring struggles and how to navigate these across on-site, hybrid and remote setups.
Founder Struggles - Being a founder has its own challenges. Needing to always be positive and hype up your team, while also keeping investors happy and balancing an ever-shrinking runway. So many founders struggle with burnout and difficult co-founder dynamics. I can help support you through these so you can keep building the thing you love.

Sometimes it’s best to spend a day with someone, get out of the office and have a full reset while talking through your challenges. If you’d like to join me for a day in Edinburgh, or for a walk in the Scottish countryside, we can arrange that. Nature is incredibly healing. Let’s get you off your phone; away from Slack and emails for a day, and give your brain a chance to unwind.
Why me
I'm not a therapist. If you need clinical mental health support, I'll always say so and encourage you to seek it.
I’ve built studios, led teams and had a very successful career on paper, all while silently burning out. I’m not a clinician and I won’t pretend to be one. What I bring is decades of hard won experience, of seeing this pattern up close in my teams, my clients and myself. I’ll help you get to the root cause of why you’re burning out and give you the space and confidence to stop saying “I’m fine”.
