When you're holding everything together but quietly coming apart at the edges.
You're capable, responsible and used to just getting on with things
But perhaps you're overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, constantly putting everyone else first or simply wondering when you stopped feeling like yourself.
You don't need fixing.
You might just need some help untangling what's going on.
A free no pressure 30 minute conversation about what's going on and how I can help.
Life can look perfectly fine from the outside...
You're exhausted from always being the capable one
You say yes when every part of you wants to say no
You overthink decisions and then doubt the ones you make
You keep falling into the same patterns even though you understand them
You spend so much time looking after everyone else you've lost sight of what you need
You know something needs to change but you don't know where to begin
If any of that feels painfully familiar, you're in the right place
What if you're not broken?
What if you're tangled?
The habits, beliefs and patterns that frustrate you usually develop for a reason.
They may once have helped you cope, belong, stay safe or keep everything moving. But some of them are tyring you in knots and may no longer fit the life you now want.
My work isn't about telling you to try harder, think positively or become a completely different person.
It's about helping you understand what's going on beneath the surface and create the change that feels right for you.
The Inner Untangle Method
UNDERSTAND
We make sense of the thoughts, emotions, roles and patterns influencing how you feel, behave and make decisions.
UNTANGLE
You create more space to make conscious choices, trust yourself and respond differently.
CHOOSE
We work with what is keeping you stuck, using the approaches best suited to you and what you need.
Quiet the noise.
Understand yourself.
Create real change from the inside out.
Sometimes the real breakthrough is understanding what's actually keeping you stuck
“Michelle helped me uncover what was really holding me back and identify the steps I needed to move forward.
It was a huge breakthrough, one I had not reached even after working with other coaches.”

Where might you start?
You don’t need to know which coaching approach or technique you need.
Start with what you know about the situation and we can work out the rest together.
One particular thing is keeping me stuck
There is a specific decision, behaviour, fear or pattern that you want to understand and change.
One Knot Untangle offers a focused session to help you explore what is really going on and identify your next step.
If the issue needs more time and support, Focused Untangle gives us six weeks to work with it and turn insight into practical change.
Several parts of my life feel tangled
It isn’t just one thing. Work, relationships, confidence, boundaries, identity or long-standing patterns may all be overlapping.
Core Untangle gives us 12 weeks to understand the bigger picture, work with what is keeping you stuck and create sustainable change from the inside out.
I need dedicated space to work through something significant
You may be facing an important decision, major transition or long-standing issue that deserves more than another hurried hour squeezed into a busy week.
The VIP Untangle Day gives you a full day of focused, personalised support in a private and comfortable setting with the space to think, explore and create a clear way forward.
Core Untangle
For when you're tired of coping with the symptoms and ready to understand what's really going on
Core Untangle is my 12-week one-to-one programme for people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or caught in patterns they can’t seem to shift.
Together, we look beneath the immediate problem and explore the thoughts, beliefs, emotions and inner roles that may be influencing how you feel, behave and make decisions.
This isn’t a rigid, one-size-fits-all programme. I draw from coaching, hypnotherapy, NLP, Voice Dialogue and other approaches to create support around you—not squeeze you into a predetermined process.
Through our work together, you can:
-
Understand why you respond in the ways you do.
-
Recognise patterns before they take over.
-
Make room for your own needs without being consumed by guilt.
-
Handle pressure, boundaries and difficult decisions differently.
-
Rebuild trust in yourself and the choices you make.
-
Create change that continues beyond our time together.
You won’t leave as a shiny new version of yourself.
You’ll leave understanding yourself more deeply, with practical ways to move forward as the person you already are.
Twelve weeks of personalised one-to-one support
A structured but flexible programme combining honest exploration, practical change and support between sessions.
Hi, I'm Michelle
I’m a professional detangler of life's messy stuff, an award winning coach, and hypnotherapist.
After more than 30 years working in and around the NHS, I know how easy it is to become the person who copes, carries and keeps everything moving—even when you’re quietly running on empty.
I also know what it is like to reach the point where something in you says, “I can’t keep doing it like this.”
My approach is warm, honest and practical. I’ll give you the space to explore what’s going on without judgement, but I won’t simply nod sympathetically while you continue going around in the same circles.
We’ll get curious about what is really happening, gently challenge what is no longer serving you and find ways forward that work in your actual life.
Because people are complicated. One-size-fits-all solutions rarely are.
Want to dip your toe in first?
Not everything has to start with 1:1 coaching
You may prefer to explore alongside other people—or quietly begin in your own time.
My workshops and free resources give you practical, accessible ways to understand yourself and start making changes.
Workshops and events
My workshops offer a welcoming and practical way to explore the patterns, inner voices and expectations influencing how you live and work.
They combine honest conversation, useful tools and opportunities to experience things for yourself—because lasting change rarely comes from another set of slides telling you to “be more resilient”.
Whether we’re exploring boundaries, your Inner Committee or the balance between constantly doing and allowing yourself to be, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of yourself and something practical to use.
Explore in your own time
Sometimes you need space to think before you’re ready to talk.
Visit the Resources page for articles, reflections and practical tools to help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself.
You can also sign up for my emails and receive thoughtful, practical support directly in your inbox without daily motivational shouting or manufactured urgency.
You don't need to have everything worked out before we talk
You might know exactly what you want to change—or only know that you can’t carry on as you are.
A free 30-minute Discovery Call gives you the opportunity to tell me what has been happening, ask questions and explore what kind of support might be right for you.
There is no pressure to book anything, and no expectation that you arrive with a neat explanation.
Tangled is allowed.
