I’m the Founder of the self-development agency, A Life I Choose. I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m Emma

ou’re successful by every external measure. You’re also tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix.
You’ve built something — a career, a company, a reputation — and from the outside it looks like you’ve cracked the code. But achievement is starting to feel less like a journey and more like a sprint with no finish line. You wonder when the striving will be enough.
You wonder if you’ve forgotten how to feel anything at all.
You don’t want less ambition. You want a way of working — and living — that doesn’t burn you out to sustain it.
That’s the work I do.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with top performers who want fulfilment too. Leaders, founders, executives, and professionals at the top of their fields. People who already know how to perform — and who sense that performance alone isn’t going to land them where they actually want to be.
You’re emotionally regulating for everyone except yourself. You’re holding the
relationship together while losing touch with the version of you that fell in love in the first place. You’re harder on yourself than you’d ever be on anyone you love. You don’t need more discipline. You need a different relationship with the part of you that’s been driving the bus.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT
You want to do work that matters and come home to a life you love. You want the high standards without the punishing inner voice. To be present with your partner, your children, your closest people — not just available to them. To feel things again: pleasure, peace, awe, ease.
You want achievement to be sustainable. An enjoyable journey, not an exhausting sprint. You want to excel professionally and feel fulfilled personally. Both.
MY STORY
I understand the top-performer struggle because I have lived it. As a teenager, my
standards got so high they tipped me into an eating disorder. The long work of recovery is where my real work began. I had to learn how to make high standards work for me, instead of letting them run me. I had to learn what fulfilment actually felt like in my body, not just as an idea on a page.
That’s how I fell in love with the study of what it means to be human, and what it takes to stay in love with life. I have’nt fallen out of love with it since.
HOW I WORK
I’m a licensed Gestalt-trained psychotherapist with eleven years of clinical practice. I integrate Gestalt psychotherapy, existential therapy, NLP coaching, the neurobiology of change, and lifestyle strategy. Most therapists go deep and skip the action. Most coaches drive action and skip the depth. I do both — which is why the change holds.
The methodology is The Choose Method: a five-phase therapeutic arc — settle,
gratitude, challenge, vision and activate, integrate.
The promise: Excel professionally. Feel fulfilled personally. Sustainably.
WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
1:1 therapy and lifestyle strategy. Private online sessions for top performers ready to do the deep work. The most precise, individual transformation — the work that changes how you lead, how you love, and how you live with yourself.
Corporate training and workshops. For companies who want their leaders and teams resourced from the inside out. Psychological depth in rooms that usually only get high-performance frameworks. Results show up in retention, communication, and decision-making.
IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR
You probably already know there’s something on the other side of your striving that you haven’t quite touched yet.
The good news is it’s reachable. And it doesn’t require you to grind harder. The work is to make your achievement sustainable — so the life you’ve built and the life you actually want become the same one.
I’d be honoured to help you get there.
LIFESTYLE STRATEGY SESSIONS
