Therapy can give you an incredibly useful understanding of yourself: where a pattern came from, what triggers it, how it shows up. The frustrating bit is when you can explain the whole thing beautifully and still find yourself doing it.

That’s why Life Redesigned works on two additional levels: The Rewrite uses subconscious work to address beliefs that understanding alone hasn’t necessarily changed, and The Design turns what shifts there into decisions and experiments in your life.

So we’re not starting again. We’re working with what you already know and going somewhere different with it.

There is, thankfully, no minimum level of misery required. Your life doesn’t need to be falling apart for you to question whether you still want it in its current form. And you don’t have to wait until something becomes unbearable to change it.

In fact, that’s often what makes this so easy to put off. You could keep going like this. The more useful question is whether you want to spend another ten or twenty years doing so.

And if the same thought keeps coming back, even after you’ve given yourself plenty of sensible reasons to dismiss it, it’s probably worth paying attention to. You don’t need to wait for “I don’t want this any more” to become “I genuinely can’t do this any more.”

If you’re unsure whether Life Redesigned is the right support, that’s what the Clarity Call is for. Bring me what’s going on and we’ll figure that part out together.

You might. Most people I work with are exceptionally good at solving problems, which is largely how they got here.

The difficulty is that we’re all considerably less objective when the problem contains our identity, our income, our relationships, other people’s expectations and the last twenty years of our own life.

My role is to spot what’s harder to see from inside your own life, ask the questions you keep circling, and help you turn all that thinking into an actual way forward.

Less than you’re imagining, and rather more than you’d expect. RTT stands for Rapid Transformational Therapy. It uses hypnosis – a deeply focused, relaxed state, think completely absorbed in a film rather than stage hypnotist making you forget your own name – to get underneath the patterns showing up in your life now.

Beforehand, we spend 90 minutes getting clear on what we’re working with and what you want to change. During RTT, we use regression to find where some of those old rules were formed and start rewriting them. Not digging through your childhood for the sake of it; we know what we’re looking for.

Afterwards, we have a separate integration coaching session to consciously process what came up. Plus, you’ll have a personalised hypnosis recording, made for you after your session. You’ll listen to it every day for at least 21 days, which is what helps the changes settle in.

And if you’re sceptical, that’s fine. So was I, right up until I booked a three-hour hypnosis session myself. No mystical visions arrived. What did arrive was the realisation that I’d spent years solving the wrong problem entirely… which turned out to be rather more useful.

We’ll go deep, yes. It doesn’t have to be terribly serious, though. Some of this work is emotional. Some of it is fascinating. Some of it is surprisingly funny once you see what your brain has been doing all these years.

This is a 12-week one-to-one programme, so yes, it asks for some of your time.

The first phase includes a 90-minute Deep Dive intake, a 120-minute RTT hypnotherapy session, a 60-minute integration coaching session and your personalised hypnosis recording, which you’ll listen to daily for at least 21 days. Week four deliberately has no coaching session so there is room for that work to settle.

From week five, we meet for eight 60-minute life design coaching sessions, usually weekly. There will also be reflection or practical experiments between sessions, depending on what we’re working on.

I’m deliberately not giving you forty-seven modules to catch up on at 1.5x speed on Sunday night. The supporting resources, including a selection of meditations, hypnosis audios, grounding practices, breathing exercises and prompts, are there when they’re useful, and you have access to me between sessions so something that comes up on Wednesday can be dealt with on Wednesday.

The time you put into this should give you time back by ending some of the circling, overthinking and carrying that currently takes up far more of it than appears in your calendar.

That’s exactly why this is one to one. Nothing here is a framework you’re squeezed into. There isn’t a predetermined answer I need to steer you towards, and I’m not going to hand you the same five-step career-change worksheet I gave the person before you. We use a structure, but the work follows your life, your decisions and what is coming up as we go.

And because I spent more than a decade working at Strategy Director level myself, you don’t need to translate the peculiar combination of ambition, politics, client pressure, responsibility and surely the answer cannot be another bloody resilience workshop before we can get started.

Life Redesigned is designed for people who are functioning in their lives but can see that something needs to change: the same patterns keep repeating, work has started costing too much, they’re circling a decision, or the successful life they built no longer feels like one they consciously want to keep choosing. We can work with exhaustion, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-responsibility, career questioning and the deeper beliefs underneath them.

There are also situations where I won’t be the right person. Life Redesigned isn’t acute mental-health treatment, and RTT and coaching aren’t replacements for medical or psychiatric care. If what you’re dealing with needs clinical support beyond my scope, I’ll tell you that.

Then don’t. There is no secret “quit corporate and move to Bali” agenda hiding in week eight. (So please don’t hand in your notice on my account before our first session.)

You might choose a different career, a business or a move abroad. You might keep the career and change how much of your life it gets. You might change roles, work fewer days, start something alongside it or eventually decide you do want something completely different.

There’s no predetermined exit here, and no prize for making the most dramatic change. If you love your work and want to keep doing it, that’s a perfectly good outcome. We’re interested in what really fits your life. So the aim is for the choices inside your life to feel much more like your own, however it looks from the outside.

I’m not going to promise that your whole life will look dramatically different twelve weeks from now, or that you’ll have the next ten years neatly figured out. And if anyone does promise you that silver bullet, by the way, I’d be a bit suspicious.

What I can promise is that we won’t confuse understanding the problem with solving it. I’m not interested in you leaving with a beautifully articulated explanation of why you’ve been stuck and a life that’s essentially unchanged, so the whole programme is built around turning insight into decisions and experiments in your actual life. Thirty days after we finish, we come back together to look at what stuck, what moved and what needs another look.
