Traditional therapy didn’t help me find relief from high-functioning anxiety so I created my own method – The Devine Method®
Here’s why I created my own method (The Devine Method®) for Entrepreneurs and high performing individuals ↓
Traditional therapy didn’t help me overcome high-functioning anxiety.
Before I continue, I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Mindfulness Practitioner. I studied Psychology (BSc), Clinical Psychology and Mental Health (MSc), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and also received training in other therapies.
I do believe therapy is amazing for gaining self-awareness, learning why you get stuck in vicious cycles of anxiety, stress and burnout (and helping you get unstuck), and learning helpful tools and coping strategies.
But here’s the thing ↓
When I started working with high performing clients, I began to see that therapy only helped them to an extent. It often did not address the unique challenges that high performers or Entrepreneurs experience such as the risks you take; the emotional toll of managing uncertainty; the isolation and loneliness that can come with being a solo founder or Leader; chronic stress and burnout; financial stress; the pressure you put yourself under to succeed when no one truly gets you; navigating business relationships with co-founders, employees, investors and clients; and much more.
I felt like I also needed more after experiencing high-functioning anxiety and being stuck in cycles of chronic stress and burnout for years.
As an ambitious person, I wanted to go on a journey of personal growth, healing and transformation where I could not only master my mind and emotions but also my body and calm my nervous system … we all know this is key to sustaining a successful business, especially as we grow and scale.
I wanted to gain clarity on who I was aside from my achievements and work.
I wanted to learn how to maintain a high level of performance so I could consistently deliver exceptional results.
I wanted to create a clear action plan to not only get myself out of never ending cycles of anxiety, stress and burnout, but so I could also start working towards creating an authentic life and business that aligned with my values (one of them being freedom).
So 11 years ago now, I decided to study a Diploma in Life Coaching and Personal Performance Coaching, Holistic Coaching and Acceptance-Action Coaching and Therapy. I also attended courses in spiritual coaching, human design, energy mastery and alignment and much more.
Over time, it became clear to me that true freedom from high-functioning anxiety and burnout required a holistic approach – a powerful fusion of evidence-based therapies, transformative tools, and personalised coaching.
This resulted in the creation of The Devine Method® – a methodology I curated by blending evidence-based therapies like CBT with compassion-focused therapy, life and high-performance coaching, and mindfulness (I work within this method in my 1:1 Programmes).
If you’ve tried therapy before and you haven’t quite experienced the results you were expecting, you aren’t alone. This is something I hear a lot.
As a previous client stated in a testimonial;
“Your 1:1 coaching program has just opened my eyes to the power of coaching and The Devine Method®, because I’ve tried therapy in the past in different ways and it’s just not been quite right”.
