FOUNDER & LEADERSHIP ADVISORY

Psychologist-informed. Strategically Applied.

Advisory for ambitious founders & leaders
who've mastered execution,
and are ready to master themselves.

In a room full of people incentivised to agree with you, I help you see what it’s actually costing you.

You've built something real.

You can hold a room, make hard calls, and execute under pressure.

Most people around you would say you're doing well.

But privately, you know the cost is climbing.

Stress leaking into your leadership.

Decision fatigue compounding.

Relationships absorbing what the business won't hold.

You don't need another coach telling you what to do.
You need a confidential thinking partner who sees what you can't, and says it clearly.

Here’s how to know if this work is for you.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This advisory is for you if

  • You've built something real, and the pressure to sustain it is starting to show.

  • You're competent, capable, and respected, but privately aware that your stress is leaking into your leadership.

  • You can execute strategy, but you know your internal calibration determines the quality of your decisions.

  • You understand that at your level, small misalignments compound quickly.

  • You're not always sure whether people follow you because they trust you, or because they're afraid of you. And that question matters to you.

  • No one else knows your body is keeping score. The panic attacks, the vertigo, the insomnia, the coping mechanisms you've learned to hide behind. You're still performing, but the cost is compounding.

  • You don't need another person to motivate you. You need someone who can see the pattern behind the pattern.

  • You're willing to take responsibility for your blind spots, even when they're uncomfortable.

  • You want success that’s sustainable & doesn't cost you your relationships, your health, or your integrity.

We won’t be a good fit if

  • You're looking for reassurance more than reflection.

  • You want validation without being challenged.

  • You outsource responsibility for dynamics that keep repeating.

  • You want someone to tell you what to do.

  • You're not ready to sit with discomfort long enough for it to become insight.

  • This work requires openness to emotional honesty. If the idea of examining your internal world feels irrelevant to your leadership, we're not the right match.

I'm a confidential thinking partner, not a consultant with a playbook.

I don't tell you what to do.

I help you see what's driving your decisions so you can choose differently.

THE CONTAINER

Twelve weeks of calibration

A minimum three-month private container on a monthly retainer basis.

Every container is bespoke with a minimum investment of $2,500 per month. Structure, cadence, and access are shaped around what you're navigating and discussed on application.

Where appropriate, I integrate evidence-based psychological methods, including EMDR and performance-focused pattern reprocessing, to resolve dynamics at their root rather than manage symptoms.

Focuses can include:

Identify and interrupt recurring leadership patterns So you stop repeating the cycles that are quietly running your business and your relationships.
Reduce costly relational blind spots So you can read the room clearly and lead without second-guessing every interaction.
Strengthen emotional capacity under pressure So your body stops keeping score and you make decisions from an anchored place, not a reactive one.
Navigate conflict and repair with precision So disagreements become productive instead of destructive and your team actually trusts you with the truth.
Make high-stakes decisions without self-sabotage So expansion, hiring, firing, and direction feel clear instead of paralysing.

LIMITED TO FOUR CLIENTS PER QUARTER

You don't need another voice telling you who to be.
You already have the instincts.

You likely already know what needs to shift.

But pressure distorts perception.

Power isolates.

Repetition hides inside competence.

My role isn't to give you answers. It's to help you see clearly enough to trust your own, without distortion.

Meet Laura

I'm a registered clinical psychologist, relational strategist and executive coach based in Sydney. I work with founders and leaders at the intersection of performance, stress management and relational intelligence.

I'm drawn to leaders who care about more than profit.
Those with a vision & mission of building something that matters.
Who want to build something meaningful, lead with integrity, and leave people better for having worked with them.

My practice is queer-affirming, neurodivergent-informed, and built for people who want to be challenged as much as they want to be understood. We need more diversity in leadership.

Most of the people I work with are sharp, driven, and successful by most measures. They come to this work because they've noticed the gap between how well things look and how they feel.

I bring the depth of a clinician and the directness of someone who understands what it costs to build something from nothing.

If you've seen Billions, think of me as your own Wendy Rhoades; A confidential thinking partner with clinical depth who sits in the room where it matters.

The people who hold the most responsibility often have the fewest places to be honest.

This advisory exists because of that gap.

FAQS

Your Questions, Answered

  • Yes. I'm registered in Australia. This advisory is psychologist-informed and strategically applied. It draws on clinical depth but is not traditional therapy.

  • No. Therapy often focuses on symptom relief and mental health treatment. This work focuses on leadership calibration: decision-making under pressure, relational blind spots, and the patterns shaping your impact. Where clinically informed methods are useful, I integrate them.

  • I'm Sydney-based and work with founders & leadership teams across Australia and internationally. Sessions run in person or virtually.

  • Submit a short application through the Apply for advisory button. I review for fit and readiness. If accepted, we begin with a strategic alignment session before entering the full container.

  • Yes. Many founders & leaders enter this work when performance remains high, but internal capacity is thinning. Decision fatigue, irritability, relational strain, or a quiet loss of clarity can all lead to burnout. We identify what's driving the depletion, recalibrate leadership patterns, and restore sustainable capacity, so growth doesn't come at the cost of your health or relationships.

  • Yes. Where relevant, I integrate EMDR and performance-focused pattern reprocessing inside the advisory container to resolve entrenched dynamics at their root. EMDR is not the headline, it's one of the tools available when the work requires it.

  • Containers start at $2,500 per month with a minimum three-month commitment. Every engagement is bespoke. Specifics are discussed on application
