Surrey-based Executive Therapist and Coach, Nicky Anstey, has launched the Transform to Perform Method™, a neuroscience-based programme aimed at helping business professionals break free from hidden mental blocks that lead to burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and fear of failure.
The programme was inspired by Nicky’s own struggles, including battling severe burnout, enduring multiple operations, and raising a miracle child with complex health challenges. Drawing from her personal experiences, she now supports executives, entrepreneurs, and high performers in achieving success while maintaining balance and wellbeing.
Anstey, an internationally recognised coach, trainer, and speaker, said:
“I know what it feels like to push until you break. I don’t just help clients perform better, I help them become better from the inside out. Success should never come at the cost of your health, happiness or family life.”
Nicky’s journey became deeply personal during her pregnancy, when at 30 weeks she received devastating news: her unborn son was missing a vital part of his brain. After previously losing her first child, she was advised to consider termination. Choosing her instincts over medical advice, she carried her son to term — and he overcame every prediction, becoming a living reminder of resilience and hope.
Her challenges continued, however. A nursery meeting later revealed her son had fallen behind, and her own ongoing recovery and stress had caused her to miss early intervention opportunities. That moment led to a complete nervous-system collapse in a park, which Nicky describes as the pivotal turning point that inspired her to develop her signature method for helping others overcome adversity.
“I couldn’t do it anymore,” she said. “I was exhausted, in pain, and terrified I had failed him. That’s when I knew I had to completely change my life, for both of us.”
Traditional methods like counselling, yoga and meditation provided temporary relief, but did not address the root causes of Nicky’s burnout. She immersed herself in neuroscience, NLP, hypnotherapy, Gestalt therapy and psychotherapy, applying the insights to herself and her son. The result was a complete rewiring of their neurology and unconscious patterns and the creation of the Transform to Perform Method™, a process now used to help others achieve lasting transformation and next level success.
Since then, Nicky has invested over £150,000 in her own growth and supported more than 1,000 clients across the UK and internationally. Her clients include entrepreneurs who
have rediscovered joy in their businesses, leaders who have regained balance and focus, transformed their energy and health problems and couples who have strengthened relationships and created supportive home environments.
One client, entrepreneur Billy West, said: “Before working with Nicky, I was at breaking point. Within weeks, I felt energised, confident and in control again. My business grew, but more importantly, so did I. Life and my Business, is better than I ever imagined.”
For Nicky, the message is clear: high performance does not need to come at the expense of health, happiness or family.
“Most coaching only addresses the surface level. If you want to invest in an awe-inspiring penthouse, you need to ensure the foundations are solid and strong first. Once you rewire the unconscious mind, the outer world changes fast.”
Nicky now shares her expertise through her 12 week proven Transformation Circle group Programme, her Reset Room community, workshops, podcasts, corporate training and one-to-one coaching, helping high achievers reset and rise before burnout forces them to stop, and halts their success.
Business owners, leaders and professionals who are ready to establish where they are on the Burnout Scale, and want to elevate to sustainable success, without sacrificing health or family life, can
