The Pause & Beyond Programme

The Pause & Beyond Programme

Private, personalised support to help you navigate menopause and the wider identity, emotional and lifestyle shifts of midlife

Overview

Overview

Every 1:1 programme moves through four stages. Recognition, noticing what's actually shifting, often before you have words for it. Clarity, understanding what's really driving it, rather than filing it under stress or "just my age." Direction, deciding what you're actually working toward now, on your own terms. Design, reshaping your actual week so the change survives an ordinary one, not only a good one.

The Programme

The Programme

The programme is £2,650 for 12 private coaching sessions, with 60 minutes reserved for each session.

We meet weekly or fortnightly, depending on what gives you room to reflect and try the actions you choose. We review the pace together when circumstances change. Monthly sessions are an individually agreed exception.

Your programme includes resources to support our work, including the Quick Start Toolkit, a Symptom and Sleep Tracker and a Direction worksheet.

Email support runs from your first session to your twelfth. It covers brief reflections and questions about agreed actions, with fuller coaching conversations kept for our sessions. I reply within two working days, Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays and leave notified in advance.

A separate 60-minute check-in is included around three months after session 12. We arrange this at your final programme session.

If you would like to continue after your 12 sessions, optional extra sessions are available at £150 each.

Our commitment to the work

Our commitment to the work

We review how the coaching is working for you throughout the programme. If the actions we have agreed are not fitting your life, we revisit them together within your programme.

Your part is to bring what you can, try the actions you choose and tell me honestly when something is not working. My part is to listen, offer perspective and help you find a useful way forward.

Coaching does not guarantee a particular outcome. This is a commitment to paying attention to the work as it develops.

Payment & Policies

Both options have the same total price. Your booking confirmation records the exact payment dates. Any payment due on your first-session date must arrive before the session starts.

Have questions?

Have questions?

A few practical answers about the programme, how it works, and what you can expect from taking part.

What happens in a 1:1 session?

Sessions are calm, structured, and spacious. Together, we explore what is happening for you emotionally, physically, mentally, and practically, at a pace that feels safe and manageable. The aim is to leave each session with greater clarity, insight, and a more grounded sense of direction.

How long is a 1:1 coaching session?

We reserve 60 minutes for every session, giving us time to explore what matters and agree what you want to take forward.

What can we work on together?

The work can support menopause-related emotional, physical, or cognitive changes, as well as confidence, identity, self-worth, boundaries, people-pleasing, burnout, overwhelm, leadership fatigue, career transitions, and life after a major shift such as divorce, loss, caregiving, an empty nest, or health challenges.

How do I know if 1:1 coaching is right for me?

If you want a private, steady space to explore what is changing in you, 1:1 coaching is often the best fit. It allows us to go deeper into your patterns, identity, and menopause experience in a way that is tailored entirely to you. Unlike the group programme, which offers shared learning and connection, this work moves fully at your pace and centres your specific needs. Some women also come to 1:1 coaching after the group programme when they are ready for more personalised, transformational work.

Do I need to know what I want to work on before I start?

No. Many clients begin coaching because they cannot quite name what feels off. You may simply feel disconnected, stretched, or unlike yourself. The work begins exactly where you are, even if all you can say is that something needs to change, but you do not yet know what.

Is everything we discuss confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is central to the work. What you share stays within the coaching space, except where there is a legal or safeguarding duty to act. The intention is to offer a space where you can speak honestly, reflect freely, and explore what is happening beneath the surface without judgement.

Will this feel like a straight line to the outcome I want?

Not exactly, and that's deliberate. Most women move through Recognition, Clarity, Direction and Design more than once, each a little further along, rather than ticking each one off in order. If a session feels familiar, like you've been here before, that's usually the method working, not a sign you've gone backwards.
