You already know the pattern
- what you don't have yet is why.
When you have why,
you have a way forward.
Maybe it's the low hum of stress that never quite switches off, the constant overthinking, the self-criticism that runs underneath everything, feeling on edge, reacting in ways you wish you didn’t. Sometimes it lasts an afternoon, sometimes days at a time. It lifts, and then somewhere down the line, it comes back.
You've probably wondered whether this is just who you are - whether you're someone whose brain is busier and more difficult to live with than other peoples, or whether you'll ever escape this cycle, if there's actually something that could shift.
There is. And the reason it keeps coming back isn't a flaw in you - it's a pattern being produced by your brain and nervous system, one that can be understood and, with the right knowledge, fundamentally shifted. Once you understand how your mind actually works, you can't un-know it, and that's where real, lasting change begins.
Amy Outterside
Coach, Mind-Body Scientist I understand how people work the way an engineer understands how planes work - not just in theory, but in the kind of depth that comes from a lifetime of immersion in it.
How I WorkMost people arrive not quite knowing how to describe what's wrong. Through careful listening, coaching, and science, we find the shape of the problem together - and then we change it. With a deep curiosity and a quality of attention that most of us rarely receive, something deeper begins to shift - not just your understanding of yourself, but your relationship with yourself.
Ways to work with meOne-to-one work provides the circumstances for deep and lasting change to happen. On commencing coaching, sessions are weekly because meaningful change requires consistency. Learning yourself is not unlike learning a language: how far would you get if you practised for an hour or two a month?
I recommend giving the work enough time to take root - meaningful change rarely happens in a single session - but you are never committed to a fixed number. The pace is always yours. Some clients work with me intensively over several months, others move to a fortnightly or monthly check-in once the foundation is in place.
❋ 1:1 Coaching
❋ The Space to Choose
For people living in the most cognitively and emotionally intense phase of their lives who want to cope better - not by slowing down, but by operating more effectively. Over eight weeks, in a small closed group of six to eight people, you will develop the understanding and the skills to create space between what you experience and how you respond - so that for the first time, you get to choose.
8-WEEK NEUROSCIENCE-BASED GROUP PROGRAMME
Tuesday evenings, 5:30-7:00pm
Starts 12th May 2026 · £360 for full programme
I translate complex psychology and neuroscience into accessible, actionable understanding - for organisations, events, and communities who want to give their people something genuinely useful.
From June until October 2026 I am in residency at a longevity farmstay on the Greek island of Ikaria, contributing to their retreat programme. I am available for remote talks and online sessions during this time - and available for in-person events from November 2026.
❋ Talks and Education
Say hello.
You may relate a little or a lot to what you've just read. Either way, taking action is never easy. This may be because it's not the right time, or you're not confident I'm the right fit. This is why consultations exist - and because commitment is tricky unless we feel sure, I always offer mine for free. Just a chat, no bells or whistles. If it doesn't feel right that's okay, if it does, I'd be honoured to go on this journey with you.
