Surrey-based Executive Therapist and Coach, Nicky Anstey, has introduced the Transform to Perform Method™, a neuroscience-led framework designed to overcome unconscious barriers behind burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and fear of failure.
The methodology stems from Nicky’s own experiences of resilience, having faced severe burnout, multiple surgeries, and the unique challenge of raising a miracle child with serious medical conditions. Her mission is to help executives, entrepreneurs, and high achievers reach their goals — without losing balance in their personal lives.
Anstey, an internationally acclaimed coach, trainer, and speaker, shared:
“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.”
At 30 weeks pregnant, Nicky received devastating news: her unborn son was missing a critical part of his brain. Having previously lost her first child, she was advised to terminate the pregnancy. Defying medical opinion, she trusted her instincts — and her son survived, becoming a daily source of inspiration and hope.
However, the early years remained challenging. During a nursery meeting, she learned her son was developmentally behind and had missed opportunities for support due to her own chronic stress and recovery from surgery. This realisation culminated in a nervous-system breakdown in a park, an emotional turning point that drove Nicky to redefine her path and develop the tools she now uses to help others transform their lives.
“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.
