Private Mentoring
A refreshingly real approach
Building real capacity to transform reactivity
Perhaps you are self-aware and still find yourself exasperated at times. We all react, shut down, or get overwhelmed in certain situations. Under stress, your nervous system takes over. Together in this confidential space, we will build real capacity, so you can stay present, speak clearly, and trust your choices.
This is for you if:
You’re drawn to depth and seriousness (not quick fixes)
You carry responsibility (leaders, practitioners, helpers, change-makers)
You want your communication to hold up when it gets hard, we will bring rigor to connection
Old patterns keep repeating, especially in relationships, we will get to the bottom of these.
Noticing how far you can move toward others without compromising yourself.
What we do:
Track body cues (tension, urgency, collapse, shutdown)
Unwind the systemic patterns that impact our actions to our detriment
Practise companioning discomfort so you have more choice
Structure:
This works best in a 3–6 month container. Sessions are 90 minutes, online, weekly or fortnightly.
Nonviolent Communication
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a mindfulness practice of attending to the way we use language – not just in speaking, but in how we listen and the meaning we make of what people say. Incorporating NVC into our worldview involves learning both to connect to the deep longings and values that lie within our speech, and learning what common habits of speech create disconnection.
A Nonviolent Communication practice begins with an understanding of the way that our needs, passions, and deepest values lie beneath our words, thoughts, and actions. As we become familiar with these concepts, we learn to hear them everywhere, and we start to understand the relationship between our body sensations, our emotions (feelings), and our needs.
A committed practice of NVC takes ongoing long-term learning and immersion to change the deeply wired habits of lifetime.

"Susie has a deep tethering to the core of humanity that allows you to see yourself and others without prejudice so you can let go of judgment and see people truly as they intend.
The work you do is not superficial but delves deep within. It reveals your own 'triggers' and that of your partners, but instead of getting hurt by them, you learn to see why we say or do the things we do and in so doing support ourselves and others to be more authentic.
Through Empathy we start to build bridges back to each other.
After a 10-week session, I now feel calmer, a lightening of spirit.
Happiness has returned and I feel I have more space to allow others to be themselves without it impacting on me.
I am rediscovering curiosity and joy, something that was dormant in me for a number of years, and I am also aware of the language I choose to use.
Owning my part and accepting responsibility aligned with my integrity. Finding my way back to true North allowed the downward spiral I was on to be stopped, letting me ascend back onto my path in the light.
Susie's approach to healing is a very healthy way to grow stronger both internally and externally without causing collateral damage.
I highly recommend her to anyone needing help to realign."
Sincerely, Claire Burnett
