Psychological Fitness: because under pressure, your brain can’t just be left to its own devices.

With Dr Vanessa

CPsychol AFBPsS
Chartered Psychologist

"I started taking psychological health seriously while working with people in 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 mechanisms every time. Learn to supervise and intercept those mechanisms, and you get a far better return on everything you invest in for yourself, your teams, and the people around you. I build Psychological Fitness programmes across a range of sectors, all science-backed and results-focused, built to help people see the patterns, catch them, and respond differently.

Because the brain can't just be left to its own devices."

The benefits

My ground-up approach to psychological health provides an understanding of the brain's operating system and why it responds the way it does, allowing individuals and organisations to intercept the brains autopilot and build a psychologically fit mind. Set within a structured framework, The Mindflex Method gives you a science-backed approach to performing under pressure, at less cost to you, and getting a better return on the time and energy you're already putting in — as an individual or an organisation.

“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.”
