Press Release

Godalming, UK - 10/06/2026

Transform To Perform Coaching has announced the launch of The Reset Room, a pioneering new coaching service created by mindset and performance specialist Nicky Anstey to address the escalating crisis of burnout, imposter syndrome and emotional exhaustion among high-achieving professionals in the UK.

The launch comes at a time when national data shows mental health pressures have reached unprecedented levels. Mental Health UK’s Burnout Report 2026 reveals that nine in ten adults experienced high or extreme stress in the past year, while one in five workers took time off due to stress-related poor mental health. At the same time, MHFA England reports that stress, depression and anxiety caused 22.1 million lost working days last year, with average sickness absence rising to 9.4 days per employee – the highest in more than a decade. The Health & Safety Executive’s latest figures confirmed that 964,000 workers suffered work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2024/25, the highest level ever recorded.

Against this backdrop, The Reset Room offers a timely and much-needed intervention. Unlike traditional coaching, which often adds more strategies to an already overwhelmed individual, The Reset Room focuses on removing the unconscious emotional patterns that drive burnout, self-doubt and chronic stress. Using Nicky’s signature REWIRE Method™, the process works at a neurological level to release deep-rooted emotional blocks, limiting beliefs and survival-mode responses that keep high performers stuck in cycles of exhaustion and overwork.

Importantly, while The Reset Room’s Reset Academy Programme provides the structured pathway for transformation, the REWIRE Method™ itself is achieved through personalised one-to-one work, as the removal of emotional patterns cannot be accessed through conscious learning alone.

Nicky, who has rewired more than 1,000 high-achieving clients over the past 15 years through her 1:1 REWIRE Method™, explains that many high achievers appear outwardly successful while privately struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism and the pressure to keep performing. She notes that clients often arrive exhausted, disconnected from their families, unable to switch off and on the brink of walking away from careers or businesses they once loved. She says that burnout rarely happens because someone is weak, but because they have been strong for too long without the internal foundations to support the pressure. The Reset Room, she explains, gives people the space and tools to reset their emotional and neurological patterns so they can rise again with clarity, confidence and balance.

A key theme Nicky sees repeatedly is that while her clients’ businesses and careers have evolved and grown, their neurological wiring has not, leaving them operating at high levels of success with outdated internal patterns that no longer serve them.

The urgency of this work is echoed by several well-known UK entrepreneurs who have spoken openly in interviews with Nicky about their own experiences with imposter syndrome, burnout and emotional strain. Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies has shared that she was “riddled with imposter syndrome” when she first joined the show, and described how stepping back during maternity leave allowed her team to grow in ways she hadn’t expected. She emphasised the importance of having the right support, saying that coaching and mentoring have been vital in helping her perform at her best. Fellow Dragon Sarah Willingham has spoken about using imposter syndrome as a “superpower”, explaining that being underestimated can sometimes help you get what you want. Their experiences reflect the very patterns Nicky sees daily in her clients: high-achieving individuals who appear confident and capable, yet privately battle with self-doubt, pressure and emotional fatigue.

Fitness entrepreneur Joe Wicks has also highlighted the emotional toll of leadership and public scrutiny. He has spoken about how, a decade ago, he “didn’t have the confidence to talk about mental health, depression and anxiety,” and how taking responsibility for his emotional wellbeing has become essential to his success.

The Reset Room builds on the profound transformations Nicky has already facilitated. One client, Billy, a multi-million-pound business owner, arrived burnt out, angry and overwhelmed. After working with Nicky, he has gone on to achieve his highest ever revenue, almost doubling his business performance, while feeling more energised and focused, working fewer hours and experiencing the best family life he had ever known. Another client, Natalie, has since stepped into a top-level Senior Sales Director role, transforming the way she leads her team by moving away from traditional sales approaches and instead managing individuals based on their behavioural patterns, resulting in stronger performance and a more effective win-win dynamic for all involved. Graham, who came to Nicky in the depths of grief after losing his daughter, found renewed hope, balance and the ability to enjoy life again. Barry, an NLP practitioner and dentist, experienced breakthroughs that surprised even him, gaining clarity, resilience and stronger relationships at home and at work. These stories illustrate the depth of change possible when emotional and neurological foundations are rewired rather than simply managed.

The Reset Room is designed for entrepreneurs, executives, senior leaders and high-performing professionals who are struggling behind the scenes with exhaustion, anxiety, imposter syndrome or the emotional toll of leadership. It is also suitable for individuals preparing for major life transitions, including retirement, where unresolved emotional patterns often resurface. Nicky emphasises that the approach is not about quick fixes or surface-level motivation, but about creating long-term, sustainable change by addressing the root cause of burnout.

The Reset Room is now open for applications, with a dedicated consultation process available at: https://pages.transformtoperformcoaching.com/the-reset-room:
