You might look like you’re coping on the outside — working, caring, coping — but inside, everything feels heavy, noisy, or overwhelming.
You’re tired of pushing through. Tired of overthinking, and tired of feeling like you “should” be handling life better than you are.
Therapeutic coaching is a one-to-one, reflective coaching space for women who want to understand what’s going on beneath the surface — not just fix symptoms or push themselves harder.
It’s not therapy, and it’s not performance-based coaching.
There’s no fixing, no pressure to improve, and no expectation to arrive with clear goals.
Instead, we slow things down.
We work with awareness, breath, reflection and gentle enquiry — helping you notice patterns,
understand why they exist, and begin responding to life differently.
Often, what brings women here looks like:
But underneath those patterns is usually something deeper — nervous system load,
long-held beliefs, protective strategies that once helped but now exhaust you.
This is the space where we make sense of that.
Sessions are calm, spacious, and led by what you bring on the day.
There’s no agenda to perform and no need to “have it together.”
We work gently with awareness, breath, reflection, and practical insight — helping you notice patterns,
understand why they exist, and begin responding to life in a different way.
This work is particularly suited to women in midlife who are navigating stress,
grief, burnout, health changes, or identity shifts.
It may not be the right fit if you’re looking for advice, diagnosis, or a quick fix —
or if you’re in acute crisis and need therapeutic or clinical support.
Sessions are 60 minutes and delivered 1:1 via Zoom.
You can book a single session or choose to work together over time — we’ll decide what feels right
after an initial conversation.
This is collaborative work. It’s confidential and paced to suit you.
If you’re curious about therapeutic coaching and want to explore whether it’s the right fit for you, you’re welcome to reach out.
Completing the enquiry form helps me understand a little about what’s bringing you here, so we can decide together whether this work is appropriate.

After meeting Glynis at our local menopause cafe,I was invited to give her 7-wk Midlife Shift course a go. My goals were to get a better understanding of why at my age I wasn’t getting the results from my usual diet plan.I realise now it was only a quick fix with very little support afterwards. This course is a game changer.The printable information sheets & questions were a valuable part of the course for me.Also I enjoyed the zoom meetings every week. I went from being the one that just listened to actually taking part in conversations learning lots from Glynis & the others taking part. Glynis offers vast practical advice & information that helps your long term change of mindset.Also because I’m working with her towards my fitness I feel I’m taking steps in the right direction without putting too much pressure on myself. I would recommend this course & working alongside Glynis as she has an amazing understanding of the body & how it works.The course is easy to follow,we have a laugh & there’s no unrealistic expectations apart from what you want to get out of it yourself. Glynis really is a one off,knows her stuff & makes you feel at ease.Im thankful for her wisdom & so grateful at getting the opportunity to take part in this course.Sign up now!!!!
I decided to join the Midlife Shift programme as I’ve tried lots of different weight loss programs in the past that never worked as I lost interest & never stuck to them. Also I felt Glynis is very professional & also provides a lot of in depth knowledge & is 100% committed to her work. When I started the program my goals were to feel stronger & fitter & loose weight, without depriving myself of foods which I enjoyed. The most valuable part of the program was the fact that I was certainly not eating enough protein on a daily basis & I was eating too much carbohydrates. I also learned about macros. My mindset has changed since completing the course I now realise when I am full I need smaller portions & need to move more for a healthier lifestyle. I have already recommended this program to friends & clients as I now realise if we don’t lead a relatively active & healthy lifestyle it can have a detrimental effect on our overall health as we age. The program was easy to follow, Glynis was very informative & responded quickly to any of our questions with attention to detail.
I’ve tried countless programs in the past, but they always felt generic, & I never really learned anything. Glynis’s program was different. She broke everything down in a way that made sense for me & helped me build habits that I actually enjoy. For the first time, I understand why I’ve struggled for so many years, & now I know how to make changes that will last. I’ve let go of the guilt & self-loathing I used to feel around food & not exercising. I finally feel more in control of my health & my life than I have in years. I’m starting to get a handle on my stress—something I didn’t even realize was holding me back. I’m sleeping better than I have in years, I have more energy, & I feel more confident. Most importantly, I feel genuinely happy within myself. Oh, & I lost 9lbs! I still don’t quite understand how to do a deadlift, but everything else has been a win!
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first joined Midlife Shift, as this was my first online group program that I had done with Glynis. But it far exceeded expectations! The wealth of knowledge, resources, practical advice & tools were second to none. Every topic proved to be more relevant than the last & tied together perfectly. My main goal was to lose weight, which I fully expected would require strict dieting & endless exercise. The very thought made me miserable! And as an emotional eater, the thought of white knuckling through intense craving for red wine & cheese at the end of a stressful day made me even more anxious. Thankfully, this was not the case. Instead we looked at adding to our diet rather than taking away, & for me, tackling my stress & emotional eating triggers that drive me emotional eating in the first place. My take home was how stress affects sleep & hormones. How they then affect appetite & influence my food choices. How this all impacts my weight gain & mental health. It was fascinating. Now I know & understand the connections, I can actually do something constructive about it, rather than blaming all of my troubles on menopause. I completed this course during the lead up to Christmas. I didn’t restrict my eating. I didn’t do any of the workouts because I hate exercise. Yet I still lost 10lbs, without actually thinking about it & without that destructive diet mentality. I feel happier, more confident, & in control for once. I’m a long way from where I want to be, but this course has been the perfect kick start, & I feel ready to tackle what lies ahead. My advice to you, ‘Sign Up & Take The Course!’ You will not regret it.
To be honest, I was sceptical when I first signed up. I’d tried so many things before, & I wasn’t sure this would be any different. But Glynis made all the difference. She helped me understand nutrition, weight loss, my body, my habits, and my mindset in ways I’d never thought of before. I’m walking away with a clear plan for how to keep progressing, & for the first time, I believe I can stick to it.
I joined the Midlife Shift Program at a time when I felt stuck in a rut & needed some help with looking after myself better & some support from a professional (Glynis) & talking to other people in the same boat. My goals at the start was really to lose weight but I found as time went on there were a few things that I really needed to prioritise like movement, sleep & stress that all go together. One of the most valuable parts was the online sessions where I could ask ‘stupid’ questions & Glynis always had the knowledge & support for all the group, I also really liked that the sessions were recorded so that you could go & listen back then message Glynis with yet another question. There was always support from Glynis & the other people in the group. I found as the weeks went on that the small changes added up & became permanent habits. I still find myself looking back over the weekly download sheets just as reminders
I joined this program Midlife Shift to build on my strengths, but learnt alot more on the way. I workout 3 times a week (if I can) & previously done a nutrition course so thought I knew it all (appears I don’t). This course gives you a bit of everything, you are not just going to a slimming class you are gaining knowledge of what you can get out of different foods. Example- I wanted to gain strength so focused on foods to help with this. Exercise programs you can do at home, so if I couldn’t get to class I had access to a workout programs. It’s a small group so not intimating, everyone had different goals. Weekly zoom meeting to chat, also a page where you can I interact daily, which I found encouraging even though you don’t need to participate yourself every day. I would highly recommend this course as it has helped me a lot & I have managed to maintain my weight now for 4years, it’s simple & easy to follow.
