Supporting high performers on a journey towards change

About

Hello, and welcome

My name is Julian. I am a therapist, executive coach and former lawyer working out of London, Bristol and online.

I understand how the capable, high performer can experience burnout, anxiety, loneliness, and emptiness in success. I am familiar with navigating systems of power in organisations, families and competing cultural contexts.

My work bridges psychotherapy and executive coaching to support leaders and high performers to make change a reality in ways that are meaningful for them.

Who I work with

Those who mask what they carry behind capability

High Performers

Whose success masks feelings of burn out, loneliness, emptiness or feeling stuck.

Couples or Groups

Who find themselves repeating patterns of behaviour that lead to frustration, conflict, emotional distance or stagnation.

Organisations

Seeking a relational approach to doing business as a strategy for growth and differentiation.

My approach

A bridge between therapy and coaching

Coaching

Can create momentum without the deeper work that supports sustainable change.

Therapy

Can create insight without the action needed to make sustainable change a reality.

The intersection

Can be a space where deep work, understanding, and lived experience combine to make change real.

Approach

Working together

Julian Danobeitia

The key factor underpinning our work together is the relationship between us. That's why it starts with a chemistry session to understand if we are a good fit. Our first formal session is an opportunity to explore what brings you into a therapeutic space, and for me to think about how we might best work together. The duration, pace and structure of our sessions will be guided by you and your needs, in a safe, ethical and confidential space.

Contact & booking

There is no expectation to explain everything perfectly. The chemistry session is simply a chance to see whether this feels like the right fit.
