Coaching is powerful, but sometimes you want more: an experience. My one day retreats are a therapeutic opportunity to deep dive into what’s creating unsustainable patterns in your life, learn tools and practices to help you recover, and assess what changes need to be made going forwards.
Retreats by the sea
My retreats are held in a lovely old building five minutes away from Folkestone station (we can also create the experience online if travel is not an option).
The one day retreat is the standard, but I can create a bespoke retreat of up to five days with me, one to one. During this time you will learn how to reset your nervous system, analyse the root causes of pattens of overworking, overthinking or people pleasing, rest and replenish with seaside and park walks, nurturing food and an array of tools for you to come away with.
Patterns of overwhelm
It’s too simplistic to say that you feel like this because you have too much on your plate. The real question is why do you have too much on your plate? For some it’s an inability to say no to employers, clients, other people. Years of people pleasing or feelings of financial insecurity can contribute to this. It’s only by looking at these behaviors can things really change. Equally, it could be that neurodivergency, unrealistic expectations, or an inability to ask for help are contributing factors.
My psychotherapy background allows me to help you investigate these patterns and look at how they can be changed by just taking small, manageable steps, tweaks that have maximum impact. For business owners, by background as a business psychologist and ex-owner of a PR company gives added layers of knowledge and experience.
The tools to recovery
It’s likely that your nervous system has been in sympathetic or fight or flight for a long time. This will affect your cortisol levels, your sleep patterns and your ability to recover day to day. I can show you how to integrate tools and practices into your day that will support you going forwards.
Assessing your environment
Perhaps you don’t have the support around you that you need right now? Or maybe you also have personal or family issues factoring into this. We can look at these and make an honest assessment of where you can improve things or move away from toxicity if it’s there.
Awareness for the future
Tuning in and being perceptive of yourself, your emotions, your body and your mental health is key to creating a healthy and happy future. I share ways to help you can tune into early warning signals for overwhelm and fatigue earlier rather than later.
Details
You can join me for between 1 and 5 days on retreat. You’ll stay in a nearby hotel or Airbnb of your choice (not included in the price) and we will spend our days untangling, analysing and restoring. We’ll have a zoom session beforehand to help me tailor the programme for you and what you need, and get to know each other.
What is guaranteed is that our days are a mixture of practices to replenish your nervous system, coaching around new behaviours that will support you going forward, insights into what is externally and what is internally creating this issue, as well as nurturing lunches, snacks and fresh air. Expect coastal and park walks, along with good coffee.
Prices
Prices start at £960 for a one day retreat. Refreshments and lunch are included. Hotels, breakfast, dinner and travel are not included.
