About this work
What professional relationship coaching with Nicky Anstey actually involves
Professional relationship coaching with Nicky Anstey is one to one work for senior leaders, founders and executives whose effectiveness is being capped not by skill or strategy but by the quality of their working relationships with peers, boards, co-founders, direct reports and key clients. The work uses the trademarked Rewire Method to address both the unconscious pattern shaping how you show up in difficult rooms and the practical skill of reading, repairing and leading those relationships.
This page sits in the wider relationships cluster.
When you can hear yourself softening, deflecting or avoiding in important rooms
You are good at your job, and losing time to specific relationships that are slightly off
You are good at your job. You are also losing time and capacity to specific working relationships that have gone slightly off, where you are not quite saying what you mean, or you are spending more political energy than the relationship is worth.
Underneath, you usually find people pleasing or perfectionism shaping how you show up in those rooms. Communication training alone does not move it because the pattern lives below the words.
How the work moves
Professional Relationship Coaching for Senior Leaders
Three levels at once.
- Pattern. The unconscious move you make in difficult rooms (over-softening, deferring, going quiet, escalating).
- Skill. Specific work on hard conversations, repair, alliance-building, board dynamics, peer feedback. Often paired with influential communication work.
- Application. Real situations from your week, rehearsed before they happen and reviewed after.
Common situations the work addresses:
- A board chair or non-exec who has become difficult.
- A co-founder relationship that has cooled or curdled.
- A direct report who is underperforming and has not been confronted.
- Peer dynamics where credit, scope or politics are eating real energy.
- Key client relationships where you are giving away more than you intended.

Why Nicky
Why Work With Nicky Anstey
She has lived it. Nicky experienced severe burnout during her own corporate career, then built her businesses through significant personal and health challenges. The story is not background. It is the reason the work goes deeper than most coaching.
She has the qualifications to go deep. Nicky is a qualified Executive Psychotherapist, Master NLP Coach, Master Hypnotherapist, Master Life and Business Coach, and a Registered Nutritionist aligned with medicine. Five disciplines inside one practitioner. Most coaches hold one.
She has the results. Over 1,000 clients have worked with Nicky and gone through the trademarked Rewire Method. Reduced pressure, clearer thinking, stronger leadership, healthier lives.
She is not a generalist. Nicky works specifically with high-achieving business owners and senior leaders. The people who others assume are fine, because they are still performing. Read more about Nicky here.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How is this different from leadership coaching
Leadership coaching is broader: how you lead, how you decide, how you recover. This is narrower and applied: specific working relationships and the dynamics inside them.
-
Do you work with co-founders together
Sessions are usually one to one. For co-founder dynamics, both founders working with Nicky one to one (separately) is often more useful than joint sessions, but joint sessions can be discussed.
-
I have a difficult board, can you help
Yes. Board dynamics is one of the most common reasons senior leaders bring this work.
-
Online or in person
Both. Most clients work online.
-
Can my company sponsor this
Yes. Documentation provided.
-
Is this confidential from my employer
Yes, strictly. Sponsor reporting covers attendance and completion, not content.
-
Is this the same as Rewire Coaching
It uses the Rewire Method, with professional relationships as the focus.
