About me
I’m Dr. Bernadette Dancy, a Stress Management Specialist and Registered Health Coach (UKIHCA) with nearly 10 years of coaching experience and over 15 years teaching the science and psychology of stress, health, and performance.
I work with high-performing professionals to better understand stress, restore energy, make confident decisions and perform at their best.
My approach combines psychology, physiology and coaching to help people make informed, sustainable changes that fit the realities of everyday life.
Understand your stress. Recover your capacity. Perform at your best.
Work with me
Precision Stress and Burnout Coaching
A dedicated three-month coaching partnership for individuals who want to understand their stress better, improve recovery and make more confident decisions about their health, work and performance.
Our approach combines personalised coaching with physiological data, helping you move beyond guesswork and develop a clearer understanding of what is placing demand on you, what supports your recovery and where meaningful changes can be made.
What’s included
Your own Firstbeat Life device*
Firstbeat Life measures heart rate variability (HRV), sleep, recovery and movement, giving us an objective picture of how your body responds to the demands of everyday life. It allows us to explore how life stress is affecting your body and mind, and where your energy is being spent.
We use these insights alongside your own experiences to personalise your coaching and help you make changes that are appropriate for you.
Three months' access to the Firstbeat Life app
Your coaching partnership includes three months' access to Firstbeat Life, allowing you to complete assessments throughout our time together.Rather than relying on a single snapshot, we can track patterns and changes over time and see how your physiology responds as you make adjustments to your lifestyle, workload, exercise and recovery. The app gives you instant access to your own data and real-time insights, helping you become more confident in recognising patterns and making informed decisions for yourself.
Personalised 1:1 coaching
I only work with a limited number of clients allowing to to have access to 1:1 sessions, email support and check ins as needed throughout the three-month coaching partnership. There is no set number of sessions you’re expected to attend - coaching is designed to your needs and availability. We will typically spread sessions across the three months so that we have regular opportunities to review how you're doing, interpret your stress and recovery data where appropriate, work through challenges and decide what needs your attention next.
The aim is not simply to tell you what to do. It's to support your progress, offer accountability and help you develop a much clearer understanding of your own stress, health and recovery so that you can make confident and sustainable decisions long after our work together ends.
Support between sessions
You don't have to wait until your next appointment if something comes up. Throughout the three months, you'll be able to message me through my Client Portal for additional support, questions and feedback when needed.
About the Client Portal
Your secure client portal helps you keep track of progress, appointments, session notes, personalised feedback, recommendations and any relevant resources.
