You want something to be different. This is where that starts.
1:1 coaching using Internal Family Systems to help you understand what's actually happening, and work with it instead of against it.
“I would highly recommend Anna if you are looking to challenge yourself and look inward. I was able to really see myself take those risks and then debrief with her on what happened and how to keep refining.”

This is parts work.
Most approaches to change focus on behavior. Do more of this, less of that. Better habits, better systems. And sometimes that works.
Sometimes you do need a better plan. I'm happy to build one with you. I spent over ten years doing exactly that. When the plan exists and you still don't move, a part of you doesn't want what another part of you wants. Or a part is scared. Or exhausted. Or has been carrying something for a very long time.
IFS gives you a way to actually talk to those parts. To understand what they're protecting you from, what they need, and how to work together instead of at war with yourself.
There is nothing broken. This is about getting to know what's there.
And the outside gets attention too.
When something needs building, we build it in the same sessions: a plan with real milestones, the CV, the script for a hard conversation. When AI can carry part of the load, we set up a simple system around your real work, and meet the part of you that resists it.
Here mostly for AI? Start with an AI Clarity Session.
If you'd rather feel this before booking anything, start with the writing. Three years of essays, sorted by what they are about, including shame and perfectionism. Or read my novel Already in a Meeting. Five colleagues, one struggling company, and the meetings running inside them.

What is Internal Family Systems?
IFS is a model of the mind developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. The core idea is that we are not one single self but a system of parts, each with its own perspective, feelings, and role. Some parts push hard. Some protect. Some carry old pain. None of them are bad.
At the center of this system is what IFS calls the Self. Calm, curious, clear. Not something you build. Something that's already there, waiting to lead.
In sessions we work directly with your parts. We slow down, listen to what they're saying, and help them feel understood. When a part feels heard, it can relax. When it relaxes, you have more access to yourself.
IFS is used by therapists and coaches worldwide. It is evidence-based, practical, and has a way of making sense to people very quickly. Clients often tell me something moved in the first session.
What to expect
We start with a free call.
30 minutes. You tell me what's going on. I tell you how I work. We figure out if it's a good fit.
We go inside.
In sessions we slow down and pay attention to what's actually happening inside you. Not just the story you tell about it. The sensations, the images, the voices. IFS gives us a language for all of it.
Parts begin to shift.
When a part feels truly heard, it can relax. When it relaxes, you have access to more of yourself. Clarity, calm, confidence. They're already there. I help you reach them.
It shows up in your life.
The point is what changes after the session: in the meeting you walk into, in the argument you didn't start, in how you sleep. Sometimes that means we build something too, like a plan, a script for Thursday, or a setup that handles the admin you've been avoiding.

Your employer may cover this.
Many companies offer learning and development or professional development budgets that employees never use. 1:1 coaching often qualifies under leadership coaching, executive coaching, or personal effectiveness. I provide invoices and session documentation. Ask your HR department or manager about covering coaching as professional development.
