I am loving this course. I'm able to do it in my own time yet remain highly motivated by the bitesize lessons, homework and answering questions to help reflect without feeling like a boring forced reflection. I don't have particular surgical anxiety but was looking for tools to manage stress, emotions and self inflicted pressure etc in the working context so would also recommend this course beyond just those with surgery worries, or even work specific worries! ~ Charlotte M

I seriously thought it was just me. That my negative feelings around surgery made me a BAD surgeon. In reality I was doing fine. I just couldn't see it and was making things worse for myself. 

The coaching has really changed the way I think and feel. Thanks!

Before I worked with Louise I dreaded my surgery days. Now I still feel those butterflies but I see them for what they are. A signal it's time to go to work!  Thank you!

My surgical anxiety gets better each day. I no longer ruminate on potential outcomes and can discharge patients without the 'what if' feelings that used to plague my evenings.
