Sound familiar?
You're exceptional at what you do. Lately, it's costing you more than it should.
Long hours and constant pressure — and the stress follows you home.
You feel unseen or undervalued, and unsure how to ask for what you want.
You want the next role — promotion, leadership, a career change or your own practice — but the path isn't clear.
Boundaries slip, rest doesn't restore you, and your creativity has gone quiet.
You don't have to choose between ambition and wellbeing. You need a strategy that honours both.
The programme
The Career Wellbeing Programme
A private, 1:1 coaching engagement for leaders, professionals and architects who want to achieve more and thrive — without paying for it with their health.
Discover
Gain clarity on where you are and where you're going: practical tools for burnout recovery and prevention, a clear direction for your career or business, and a reconnection with your creativity.
Create
Design a strategy that works for your life, not against it: a wellbeing plan that re-energises you, a clear path to your next role, and a work–life rhythm that suits you.
Perform
Step up with confidence, minus the hustle: perform at your best without constant stress, lead with authenticity, and reach the next level while enjoying the life around it.

Client experience
"Shortly after starting, I had a challenging quarter where I'd normally have overworked, lost sleep and become very anxious. It turned out to be one of the quarters in my 10-year career where I felt my best mentally — and I still hit my target."
Associate Director
"In terms of the tangible outcomes, I have been promoted and now feel more empowered at work."
"Anna has been my Coach for the last half year. She helped me to understand some of my own reactions to stress and we worked together to improve leadership skills."
About
Anna Wolas
Career Wellbeing Executive Coach · ICF · CTI-trained
I spent 20 years in professional services, and I know first-hand how the drive to succeed can tip into burnout. Like many of my clients, I pushed too hard for too long without support, and it cost me both health and fulfilment.
Training in psychology, boundary-setting and executive coaching changed how I worked and lived. Since then I've coached for over 1,000 hours, helping ambitious professionals redefine success so it includes their wellbeing.
Today I help leaders and architects build careers that are meaningful, resilient and true to their values.
As heard on
What does burnout mean, and how can you avoid it?
I joined Jon Clayton to talk about how burnout differs from everyday stress, how to spot the early signs, and why the usual fixes — a holiday, more exercise, a new job — rarely last on their own. I also shared my three-step framework:
- Discover where you are in the burnout cycle, and clarify your strengths and direction.
- Create a personal wellbeing strategy and a healthy work rhythm, with clear boundaries.
- Perform using your own skills and creativity to reach your career goals, with less stress.
Begin the conversation
Ready to thrive at the next level of your career?
A complimentary, confidential consultation to explore where you are, where you want to be, and whether we're the right fit.
Book a complimentary consultationQuestions
Before we begin
What happens in the consultation?
A relaxed, confidential video call. We'll talk about where you are now, what you want to change, and whether the programme is a good fit. There's no pressure to commit.
Who is the programme for?
Leaders, architects and senior professionals who are ambitious, often successful, and feeling the cost in stress, long hours or lost confidence.
Who is it not for?
If you're in a mental health crisis or need clinical support, coaching isn't the right first step; please speak to your GP or a therapist first.
How long is the engagement?
3 or 6 months, with two 60-minute sessions a month and support in between.
How much does it cost? Can my employer pay?
Programmes are £500–£600 per month, for 3 or 6 months, depending on your goals and the support you need. Many clients fund coaching through their employer's learning and development budget, and I can provide a short proposal for your manager.
Can I book a single session?
Yes. A one-off Strategic Career Boost Session is ideal if you're facing one specific challenge or want to experience coaching before committing. A single session is £270 (introductory price £199 when you book by 31 October 2026, for a session in November or December).
