10-Month Deep Work Programme
Therapeutic Purpose Coaching for People Looking To Make Sense of
Their Lives, Heal & Find New Direction
The Transformative Journey to
Rediscover Purpose, Master Your Shadow Work & Find Direction
Profound Insights From Neurobiology & Deep Enneagram Work That Creates Clarity on What You Need Most, and Where To Get It
A DEEP WORK THERAPEUTIC COACHING PROGRAMME
Transform Confusion, Dullness or Lack of Fulfilment Into Clarity - A 10-Month Journey Rediscovering Yourself - Going on a Growth Journey to Create More Inner Peace & Outer Satisfaction
First I help you process and regulate: You’ll join me for 4 intensive coaching experiences (spread over the first 4 months) facilitating deep self-discovery and a sense of peace. Then we progress to fortnightly or monthly therapeutic coaching sessions to fit your schedule, using a structured framework that blends neuroscience, the Enneagram and transformative cognitive strategies.
Heal & Rediscover Yourself - Find Direction in a Dedicated, Supportive Space that Guides You Through Your Self-Discovery & Change Process Without Agenda
Your nervous system needs regulation to find purpose and direction. When that doesn’t happen the cost goes far beyond just job satisfaction.
Operating out of alignment with your brain’s regulation needs and purpose signals leads to:
Decreasing satisfaction despite achievements
Diminished personal confidence (imposter syndrome)
Personal or professional relationship strain as stress spills over
Mental exhaustion that vacation time doesn't fix (burnout)
Chaotic mind that masks as fits of inspiration (or escape plans) but doesn’t evolve into tangible results
Confusion about what’s missing / lack of clarity on where to go
Lack of motivation for opportunities that should excite you
Growing fear that you're on the wrong path
Because lacking connection to yourself isn't just unfulfilling - it's neurologically exhausting.
Why I Created This Programme
In 2011, I co-founded Social Bite, which became a national social enterprise. From the outside, it looked like I was living the dream - bringing George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio to Scotland, helping to house, employ and feed the homeless community, and receiving much public recognition, including the ITV Pride of Britain Award and Honorary Doctorate Degrees.
But beneath the success lay a deeper truth: I'd given up my own well-being and sense of self in exchange for what looked like societal approval. I was experiencing burnout after burnout, feeling increasingly disconnected from myself and any joy that had initially driven me to make a difference.
So I learned about the neurobiology of purpose and how we set and achieve goals, and then I tried everything I could get my hands on: different schools of therapy; coaching; guided breathwork; Ayahuasca ceremonies in the Amazon; Huachuma ceremonies in the Andes; sweat lodges - you name it.
I came to realise that we all experience the same kind of blocks - internal ones. This forced me to dive deeper into how we really become trapped, and what it is we really long for. Using inspiration from Jungian shadow work and tools such as the Enneagram, Internal Family Systems and breathwork, I started noticing the transformation me and my clients really needed happening in front of my eyes. Nowadays I work with clients on a much deeper level and have abandoned the title of “Business Coach” or “Career Coach”, though career transitions are often a result of what we do together. Nowadays it’s probably more accurate to call me a Therapeutic Purpose Coach or Deep Work Coach. Call it what you like, I’m concerned with getting you meaningful results.
With over 2000 hours of experience coaching individuals, groups and teams, I created this programme for people who want to dive into healing, rediscover themselves and find more peace and meaningful direction - so you don’t have to wear a mask or pretend to be something you’re not anymore. This programme combines everything I wish I'd had during my own period of soul searching, recovery and navigating professional crossroads.

Programme Breakdown
-
A comprehensive 3-hour introduction session with an evaluation of each aspect of your life & career. You’ll explore how things are now and any ideas you might already have about how you’d like things to change. Alice facilitates exercises to help dissipate any confusion and create space for clarity to emerge.
-
A 5-hour 'Find Your Purpose' intensive session that takes you back through your most important experiences to discover authentic values and how they manifest today. A deep dive into your nervous system’s history to explore & nurture the most meaningful lessons your life has to offer.
Having trained with Simon Sinek’s team, Alice closely follows the ‘Find Your Why’ process, paired with her knowledge of neurobiology which helps to intensify the results.
-
This 5-hour workshop allows you to explore the Enneagram and find answers about yourself and others.
The Enneagram creates a much deeper insight into how we operate, what drives our behaviour & how those patterns we repeat in life can get in our own way.
This allows you & Alice to notice them with compassion as they show up throughout the coaching journey, so they can be gently challenged when necessary, or leaned into when they can help.
-
A 3-Hour Breathwork & Guided IFS Session: The Enneagram is not meant to just be discussed and intellectualised, nor was it designed just to hold up a mirror to us, or tell us which box we belong to.
The Enneagram is meant to be experienced in our body, heart and mind in a way that allows us to reclaim parts of ourselves we left behind, and to explore parts of ourselves and our lives that we haven’t integrated yet. It shows us the box we’re already in, and how we can get out of it.
This session is a deeply healing space where we combine breathwork and bodywork with a guided visualisation.
-
Alice's coaching is compassionate, explorative and direct. This solid block of coaching allows you to build on the foundations you created in the first part of this programme. Find clarity and take action, as you work through the ‘4 Pillars’ together which map over the 4 different parts of your brain involved in setting and achieving goals.
Those pillars are:
Pillar 1 - Clarity (Amygdala & lateral prefrontal cortex)
Pillar 2 - Purpose (Orbitofrontal cortex)
Pillar 3 - External Map (Lateral prefrontal cortex & ventral striatum)
Pillar 4 - Internal Map (Unconscious nervous system integration)
This work is designed to create light bulb moments for different people at different times, depending on your personality type. So whether you’re introverted or extroverted, a thinker or a doer - the ‘4 Pillars’ create a solid structure for transformation that sparks insight and generates forward momentum.
-
A 3-hour evaluation session reviewing your progress, exploring the most valuable lessons you’ll take away and cementing your next steps. We'll identify ways for you to sustain momentum in a realistic way & continue the inspirational work you’ve put in place to take control of your life and deliver action that means something to you, without burning out.
You’ll leave with a structured action plan of exactly what you want to create in your life going forward.
Alice only wants to work with people who she can genuinely help and support on their journey. If you aren’t satisfied with the programme, Alice offers a 100% money-back guarantee.
