Bespoke 1:1 Coaching · United Kingdom
Lost sight of yourself while holding it all together for everyone else?
Understand your emotional triggers, reframe the old perspectives holding you back, and break unhelpful patterns — so you can make choices that bring you closer to the truest version of yourself.
01 — Manifesto
Less holding it all together. More courage to be yourself.
For 35 years in education, leadership and pastoral care, I watched the most capable people quietly run on empty. They held everything together for everyone else — and lost sight of who they were becoming.
My practice exists to change that. Real conversation, practical tools, neuroscience-led techniques, and meaningful change — without judgement, waffle, or pretending you have it all sorted.
I'm Shiona Head — and I coach to break unhealthy patterns.
A pastoral leader for over three decades, a PASEDA360® Advanced Practitioner, and a specialist in Event Havening® and Limitless Light Therapy®. Warm, safe, non-judgemental and straight-talking — with the humour change deserves.

You don't have to remain trapped by old perspectives and patterns.
Looking after yourself isn't selfish. It allows you to show up more calmly, honestly and fully for the people and responsibilities that matter.
Three steps to achieving your goals.
Locate your 'Hot Spots'
We begin with the significant events still subconsciously influencing you — often triggering unfavourable reactions you may not even recognise. Event Havening® calms the nervous system and disarms the emotional charge.
Reframe limiting beliefs
Limiting beliefs usually start in childhood — a comment, a criticism, an experience held as truth. Through Limitless Light Therapy® we journey back, bring mature understanding forward, and free you from outdated versions of events.
Anchor the truest you
The final phase builds positive affirmation and manageable steps so the change holds. You leave with a long list of positives that are genuinely you — proud, empowered, lighter, calmer, happier.
What clients say after the work.
"Shiona's support helped me understand, accept and move past parts of myself that had held me back for over a decade. I can now focus on the future I want to build while being noticeably kinder to myself and others."
