"I felt like I was living someone else's life. I didn't know how to find my way back to myself."
"I was functioning perfectly on the outside. On the inside I was completely lost."
"I kept waiting to feel better. I didn't realise I needed someone to actually help me get there."
You're not broken.
You're running on empty.
You've been coping for so long that coping has become your personality. You're capable, resourceful, probably the person everyone else leans on. And underneath all of that, you're exhausted and you've lost yourself somewhere along the way.
This programme is for you if:
- You know something needs to change but you don't know where to start
- You put everyone else first and feel guilty for wanting something for yourself
- You're high-functioning on the outside and struggling on the inside
- You've tried therapy, self-help books and courses and nothing has stuck
- You want to understand who you actually are, not who you've been told to be
- You're ready to stop surviving and you need someone genuinely in your corner to make that real
“Survival isn’t enough. I know, because I lived there. And I know what it takes to leave.”
Clare Deacon, Blooming Happya
This isn't right for you if:
- You're in active crisis and need immediate mental health support
- You want someone to tell you what to do rather than discover it for yourself
- You're not ready to be honest with yourself
- You're looking for a quick fix
What this programme erodes.
What it creates.
This isn't about patching the surface. It's about going to the root, which is why the results last.
Where you start
- Feeling lost and disconnected from who you are
- Putting everyone else first out of habit or guilt
- An inner critic that runs louder than your own voice
- Boundaries you can't hold or haven't found yet
- Survival as your baseline
- Dreams you've quietly stopped believing in
Where you finish
- A clear sense of who you are and what you actually want
- The ability to put yourself first without the guilt
- Self-compassion that is stronger than the inner critic
- Boundaries that protect your energy and your relationships
- Living, not just coping
- A vision for your life that you're actively building
Three phases.
One complete shift.
The Blooming Happya 1:1 programme moves through Clare's trauma-informed, positive psychology-based coaching framework. It isn't a template applied to a client. It's co-created with you, starting from your actual starting point.
Every phase builds on the last. By session 24 you have a measurable, documented record of how far you have come.
Who are you underneath the roles you've been playing? We start here, with honesty and without judgement, and begin to reconnect you with the self that's been buried under everything else.
The deeper work. Emotional patterns, the inner critic, boundaries you've never quite been able to hold. This is where the real shift happens and where it starts to feel permanent.
You know who you are now. This phase is about building the life that reflects it, with real confidence, permission to want more, and the steps to get there.

Most women who reach
this page have spent years trying
to fix the surface.
Most women who find their way here have already spent years and far more than £297 trying to feel better. Therapy that helped but didn't finish the job. Books that made sense but didn't create change. Courses that faded within weeks. This goes to the root. That's what makes it different.
The monthly structure means your investment grows alongside your commitment and your momentum. No pressure to commit to a lump sum before you're ready.
- Fortnightly 1:1 sessions, 60 minutes each
- WhatsApp and email support between sessions
- Trauma-informed, positive psychology-based coaching
- Three phases across the full year

She understands
what it takes to leave.
Clare Deacon is a positive psychology coach with a Master's in positive psychology and specialist training in trauma-informed practice, counselling, hypnotherapy and EFT. She has worked with high-functioning women for years, helping them move from surviving to thriving.
But what makes Clare different isn't her qualifications. It's that she has navigated profound personal loss and survival mode herself. She doesn't know your story. She knows what it takes to leave a version of it.
"The combination of trauma-informed practice, positive psychology and lived experience isn't common. Most coaches have the training without the experience. Most people with the experience don't have the training. I have both. That's why this reaches women who have tried everything else."
She knows what it costs to stay stuck. She knows what it takes to leave. And she has built an entire coaching approach to make sure the work is structured, measurable and lasting.
In their own words
“I was unable to think and problem solve clearly. Now I am able to pause, regulate my nervous system and assess what is and is not in my control. I am starting to value myself more. I am not responsible for everyone’s thoughts, feelings or reactions and what I can offer is enough.”
Alison
“I have cut cords with past trauma and have boundaries in place that have helped me release negative emotions. I have clarity around my strengths and resilience which means I am now taking intentional action towards goals that are fully aligned rather than what I think they should look like.”
Lisa
“I had been for sessions with counsellors and therapists prior but nothing helped. Really felt like each session was curated just for me, going at a pace that was both comfortable and appropriately uncomfortable when necessary. I always felt able to reach out at other times if I needed support.”

What you're probably wondering
Is this right for me?
If you recognise yourself in the words on this page, it probably is. The Cuppa and Chat is where Clare and you work that out together. No pressure, no obligation. If it is not right, Clare will tell you honestly.
What if it feels too scary to reach out?
That is the most common feeling before a first conversation with Clare. You do not need to have the words or know what you want from it. The Cuppa and Chat is free and there is no pressure. You just need to show up.
What if I feel too overwhelmed to even start?
That is often the moment this work matters most. You do not need to arrive with clarity or energy. Just show up for one conversation. Clare takes it from there, at a pace that works for where you actually are.
Shouldn't I just be able to push through this?
You have probably been pushing through for years. The women who come to Clare are not weak. They are strong. And they are tired of using all that strength just to keep going rather than to bloom.
Do I have the time for this?
One session every two weeks, 60 minutes. If you have time to keep doing what you have always done, you have time for this.
Can this actually make a difference?
Read the testimonials on this page. These are real women who thought the same thing. It works where other things have not because it starts in a different place.
You've been waiting to feel
like yourself again.
The Cuppa and Chat is a free conversation with Clare. No sales pitch. No obligation. Just an honest conversation about where you are and whether this is the right next step for you.
