You deliver.
The doubt doesn't care.
You know how to operate at a high level. But your mind does not switch off when it should. You replay conversations. You anticipate problems. You carry pressure long after the day ends.
The performance is there.
The calm is not.
Who this is for
Built for one
type of person.
You're a senior leader, director, or knowledge worker. You're already good at your job. Probably very good. You perform under pressure, hold yourself to high standards, and rarely stop.
The problem isn't performance. It's what performing at that level costs.
The anxiety that hums in the background. The sleep you can't quite get. The confidence you perform rather than actually feel. You've learned to function through all of it. But functioning through isn't the same as being free of it.
You're not looking for therapy. You don't want a long conversation. You want something evidence-based, precise, and fast. Built for a mind like yours.
Ignis works with performance-related anxiety, sleep disruption, and confidence. It isn't the right fit for addiction recovery, clinical pain, or diagnosed psychiatric conditions. I'll point you to the right specialist if that's what you need.
The Method
One system.
Two levels of change.
Most approaches work at one level. Coaching helps you think differently. Hypnotherapy changes how you respond automatically. I combine both.
Conscious work
What we address in awareness
This is where we work with the patterns you can name, observe, and challenge directly.
- Behaviour under pressure
- Identity, standards, and self-talk
- Emotional regulation and presence
Subconscious work
What we rewire beneath awareness
Many fears, beliefs, and emotional responses are learned early, often before the age of seven. This is where hypnosis helps change the pattern underneath the pattern.
- Automatic fear and reactivity
- Inherited beliefs and protective patterns
- Sleep, safety, and emotional memory
That is why the change holds.
Even under pressure.
Outcomes
What actually changes.
Not occasionally.
Consistently.
Why it works
Not magic.
Neuroscience.
Both layers, at once
Conscious + subconscious.
Most approaches work at one level. Coaching changes how you think. Hypnosis changes how you're wired. Together, they create the kind of change that holds under pressure.
Built for your mind
For analytical thinkers.
The nervous system of a high-performer is calibrated for vigilance. That's your edge. And your burden. This work speaks directly to that wiring, not around it.
Results in weeks
Fast, durable change.
Most clients notice calmer nights within the first few sessions. Quieter mornings. A different quality of presence in the room. Not a temporary lift. A new default.
I led large teams inside FTSE100 companies for over a decade. Director level. Board visibility. Real pressure. And a voice that questioned whether I truly belonged there.
What I offer
Choose your path.
Perform. Lead. Decide.
Executive Coaching
Minimum 3-month engagement. Built for technical experts and leaders who want to strengthen both the harder technical edge and the softer leadership skills needed to operate with clarity, influence, and presence under pressure. We can also work at the unconscious level where it helps the transformation hold.
Sleep. Calm. Fast.
Hypnotherapy
Solution-focused, minimum block of 4 sessions. Designed to shift unhelpful unconscious beliefs, fears, and patterns quickly, while giving us the time to make sure the work lands and lasts.

"Yorik has had a real impact on how I tackle complex challenges and how I show up under pressure. He helped me identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with clearer, more intentional behaviours. I communicate with more confidence and perform far better in high-stakes conversations, with greater clarity and calm."
