Coaching and Therapy For Business Owners 

Therapist for business owners, entrepreneurs, and agency founders

My name is Paula Gardner and I am a therapist for business owners, entrepreneurs and agency founders. 

Before becoming a therapist I was a business psychologist, and previous to that, the owner of a PR and marketing agency. With over 35 years in business, I bring understanding and lived experience to our work together.

Business success is wonderful, but it can bring its own problems. Typical issues I see could be around the transition from working solo to running a business, the difficulties around managing others, or the change in status with your peers and family when they see you as a successful business owner. I also help business owners whose life issues are impacting their business, making it hard for them to focus or concentrate, as well as those who just keep going – they cannot take a break and rest. 

How does business therapy work?

I see clients for 60 or 90 minute sessions, usually online. I also offer a one day retreat in Folkestone for those who would like a more consultative approach to an issue like burnout, or building a business that supports their mental health. 

My work is based on the Human Givens framework, which is Solution-Focused and ideal for busy business owners. Practical and embedded in getting your needs met, this means that you can start to feel more in control from as soon as our first session. 

Sessions are £160 for 60 minutes, or £200 for a 90 minute session. A key ingredient of success in therapy is our relationship, which is why I offer a free 25 minute consultation to see how we might work together. You can book a no-obligation chat with me here or contact me here
