Find genuine fulfilment without losing your ambition.

Ambition isn’t the problem. Most of the people I work with are still performing well. What has changed is the cost: success starts to feel like relief rather than reward, rest feels unsafe, and setbacks land as personal threats rather than situations to handle.

Usually that means achievement has quietly become the way you regulate your sense of worth. The work is to keep the drive while ending the dependence underneath it — so success feels worth it again.

High-trust advisory. Grounded in your real context — career decisions, founder stress, leadership, difficult conversations — not abstract coaching.

Nervous system regulation. The work includes the body, not just thoughts. I use somatic techniques — including neurogenic tremor work, which engages the body's natural stress-discharge mechanism to release tension held in the muscles after sustained pressure. This addresses what analysis can't: the chronic activation that keeps you wired after the laptop closes.

Biomarkers. HRV (heart rate variability) is the clearest objective signal of nervous system health. A sustained drop precedes burnout symptoms by weeks; strong overnight HRV signals genuine recovery, not just absence of work. If you wear an Oura, WHOOP, or Apple Watch, we use it. If you don't, I'll explain what to track. This turns 'I feel stressed' into something you can actually see and measure.

Founders, executives, product and growth leaders, and senior operators in tech. People doing well by every external measure who sense their relationship with work, performance, and self-worth has become too costly.

I write about the psychology of ambition, identity, and performance at Undisguised. The writing names what most people in high-stakes careers feel but rarely say out loud. The private work is where we change it.

Before training as a therapist I spent 18+ years in B2B SaaS growth, from early-stage startups to IBM’s enterprise portfolio, advising 50+ companies. I still work as a fractional growth advisor. More on that →
