Using Psychological Fitness to navigate a pressure filled world.
With Dr Vanessa.
CPsychol AFBPsS
Chartered Psychologist
I started taking a proactive approach to psychological health seriously when I was working with people in some of the world's highest-pressure environments. A frontline military operation, a high-stakes legal case, a make-or-break client pitch - the brain runs the same set of mechanisms every time. Learn to supervise & intercept those mechanisms, and you get a far better return on everything you invest in yourself, in your teams, and in the people around you. That's where Psychological Fitness came from. And why it’s needed. For performance. For feeling good. For life.I work with individuals and organisations across a range of sectors, building programmes that support long-term change — from one-off training for small businesses, to end-to-end frameworks for blue-chip organisations, to executive coaching and speaking at industry conferences. The model is always the same:
science-backed, results-focused, and built to help people see the patterns, catch them, and respond differently. Because the brain can't just be left to its own devices, , I’d love to work with you.”

Who can benefit?
"Dr Vanessa has a skill at taking a complex topic and making it easy to understand, she helps others make sense of things before moving to action and ensures every session has practical tips that are easy to action.Working with Dr Vanessa is like having an extension to our team, spending time understanding the organisation and adapting content and delivery where needed to meet the needs of our colleagues means we have had consistently great feedback over the 5 years we have worked together.
“I have gotten a huge amount out of coaching with Vanessa. As a time-poor leader who wants to be brilliant, effective and fair, the risk is I will achieve none of those by spreading myself too thin.Vanessa has helped me to think clearly and prioritise. I have enjoyed having space to think out loud and relished being challenged. Every minute of our sessions has helped to give me clarity.”
