Mark Burgess
Hi, I’m Mark, Existential Coach and Psychology Lecturer.
For over two decades, I've been exploring what it means to live meaningfully, professionally and personally - in research, in practice, in relationships, and in those moments when you're confronted with the fact that this life is your life, and only you can do something to change it.
​
I created and teach a university course on Healthy and Unhealthy Romantic Relationships at Oxford Brookes University, grounded in psychological research and expert practice.
​
Through Transformational Growth, I coach people at life's turning points - especially those who are:
-
Seeking to build authenticity and connection in relationships,
-
Considering or recovering from kidney donation, or
-
Feeling time is passing and want to maximise the next chapter of life​.
​​
I help people attune to what really matters for them now and the future, and I support them to initiate change with confidence and curiosity.
​
I believe we're never a finished product and that we have agency over our development. ​If you're ready to explore how you can shape your life and live differently, I'd love to support you.

Hi, I’m Nicky, Counsellor and Coach
With a BSc Honours in Addictions Counselling and specialised training in woman-centred transformational coaching, I am committed to helping people unlock their potential for growth and healing. My approach integrates trauma-informed counselling, coaching, and cutting-edge technology to create lasting, embodied transformation.
​
Through my own healing journey, I’ve experienced firsthand the profound shifts that occur when mind, body, and soul are in alignment. My personal transformation, combined with years of working with clients, has deepened my understanding of the unconscious patterns that keep us stuck and how to shift them through intentional, embodied action. Working holistically has also led me to incorporate the Theta Chamber into my practice, offering a unique way for clients to access deeper states of healing, self-awareness, and emotional regulation.
​
I specialise in helping women in recovery move beyond shame, self-doubt, and outdated narratives to reclaim their authentic power and purpose. My 3-month program, Breaking Barriers to Empowerment, takes a trauma-informed, woman-centered coaching approach to uncover unconscious patterns that keep them stuck. Through deep self-inquiry and embodied action, we create meaningful transformation, not just through new thinking, but by making real, lasting shifts. With personalised coaching and structured support, I help women to find their voice, rewrite their stories, embody their worth, and take inspired action toward the future they truly desire.
​
Alongside my individual and group coaching work with women in recovery, I co-lead Before It’s Too Late with Mark, a 7-week coaching experience designed for those who have a sense that time is slipping by and feel unfulfilled despite external success. Through small but intentional shifts, this program helps participants gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger connection to what truly matters.
​
Whether you’re navigating recovery from addiction, burnout, trauma, or simply seeking greater clarity and purpose, I’m here to provide compassionate, expert guidance. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, blending deep self-inquiry, nervous system regulation, and transformational coaching to help you heal, grow, and thrive.
