Helen Barnes

I help high-performing professionals and leaders in fast-paced, high-pressure work environments to stop burnout in its tracks – so they can thrive in their careers without sacrificing their wellbeing.

As a former PR leader, I know first-hand how easy it is to look successful on the outside while secretly running on empty. That’s why I retrained as an ICF-certified executive coach: to help professionals in high-pressure industries like communications, advertising, law, tech and consulting reclaim clarity, calm and confidence before burnout takes hold.

Many of my clients come to me feeling:
• Overloaded with demands and unable to switch off
• Frustrated by self-doubt, perfectionism or imposter syndrome
• Exhausted by the pressure to perform at work AND keep it together at home

Through coaching, I help them to:
? Build habits and boundaries that protect their time and energy
? Regain confidence in their unique strengths and leadership style
? Manage stress and self-doubt so they can make clear, confident decisions
? Create sustainable success – performing at their best without burning out

My mission is to partner with both individuals and organisations to build cultures where people can work well and live well. Because wellbeing powers performance.
