Hello, I’m Vivien Moriarty
- a Therapeutic Coach based in Bristol, offering sessions in person & online.

For over 10 years I’ve supported people who feel stuck in some part of their life - whether that’s anxiety that won’t quiet down, repeating relationship patterns, persistent self-doubt, or a sense that something needs to change but they’re not sure how.

Therapeutic Coaching brings together the insight of therapy with the forward momentum of coaching. It creates space to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, while also developing practical ways to create meaningful, lasting change in your life, work, or relationships.

My approach combines four key elements:

Evidence-informed methods
My work draws on key principles from coaching, therapy, neuroscience, psychology, hypnotherapy, NLP, mindfulness, and developmental theory.

Emotional insight and support
We take time to understand the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships - and begin shifting the ones that are no longer serving you.

A forward-focused approach
While we may explore the past to understand patterns, the focus is always on helping you move forward and creating positive, lasting change.

Practical tools and strategies
You’ll gain tools and techniques that support meaningful change in how you think, respond, and move through everyday life.

You don’t need to arrive with a clear plan or all the answers. Many people begin simply knowing that something in their life doesn’t feel quite right.

Perhaps Some of This Feels Familiar

Many people come to therapeutic coaching because something in their life no longer feels sustainable, fulfilling, or clear.

You may recognise yourself in some of the experiences below:

Your inner critic is loud
You struggle with persistent self-doubt, perfectionism, or a voice in your head that tells you you’re not “enough” - even when others see you as capable and successful.

Anxiety or self-doubt holds you back
Overthinking, imposter syndrome, or fear of getting it wrong makes it difficult to step into opportunities or make important decisions.

You’ve achieved “success” but still feel unfulfilled
On paper things may look good, yet something feels missing - a deeper sense of purpose, meaning, or satisfaction.

You’re navigating a major life transition
You may be facing a career change, relationship breakdown, or a deeper shift in priorities - and feel the weight of the decisions ahead.

Managing stress and emotions feels difficult
You may feel easily overwhelmed, triggered, or emotionally exhausted, as though your nervous system rarely gets a chance to fully settle.

You feel like you’re drifting
You’re going through the motions of life or work without a clear sense of direction or what truly matters to you anymore.

The same relationship patterns keep repeating
Whether at work or in your personal life, you notice familiar dynamics appearing again and again.

You feel stuck between knowing and doing
Part of you understands what needs to change, yet something keeps getting in the way of actually moving forward.

You feel close to burnout
You’re mentally and physically exhausted, and the way you’ve been operating no longer feels sustainable.

What Often Begins to Change

Through therapeutic coaching, many people begin to notice meaningful shifts in how they think, feel, and move through their lives.

Clients often experience:

  • Greater calm and mental clarity

  • More confidence in their decisions

  • Freedom from the inner critic and persistent self-doubt

  • Healthier and more balanced relationship patterns

  • The ability to manage stress, anxiety, and overthinking

  • A clearer sense of direction and purpose

  • The confidence to step into opportunities and make meaningful changes

  • Greater resilience and balance, reducing the risk of burnout

Many people find they are no longer reacting to life in the same ways.

Instead, they begin to respond with greater awareness, confidence, and choice - creating changes that feel both meaningful and sustainable.

What Clients Say

  • “I came to Vivien at a point where I felt completely stuck about my next step in life. Our sessions gave me space to think properly and understand what was really driving my indecision. Vivien has a wonderful ability to ask the right questions while also offering practical insight. I left each session feeling lighter and clearer, and over time I found the confidence to make decisions I had been avoiding for years.”

    Laura H., Senior Project Manager

  • “I’ve done therapy, coaching, mindfulness - nothing touched the root like this. Vivien helped me understand what was actually happening in my mind and body. I now set boundaries more comfortably and feel much steadier in situations that used to trigger a lot of anxiety. It's been life-changing.”

    Priya M., HR Director

  • “I came to Vivien burnt out, overwhelmed, and convinced something was wrong with me. Vivien helped me slow down, understand what was driving that pattern, and develop ways to approach things differently. Over time I’ve become much calmer and more intentional in how I make decisions and structure my life. I wish I’d found Vivien years ago!"

    Hannah C., Marketing Consultant & Mum of 2

  • “As a GP, I knew the science of stress - but I couldn’t apply it to myself. I was constantly braced, waking up with a knot in my chest, and overthinking every interaction. Vivien helped me connect that knowledge with what was actually happening in my day-to-day experience. My internal world now feels much calmer and kinder, and I approach situations with far more perspective. Thank you so much Vivien!”

    Emma R., GP & Mum of 2

  • “I was sceptical at first, but working with Vivien helped me see patterns I’d been stuck in for years. Gradually things started to shift. I no longer start the day in survival mode, and I’m much clearer in how I think and make decisions.”

    Ben K., Entrepreneur

  • Vivien is the best! She taught me so much and I am forever grateful. I can honestly say I feel calm and peaceful most of my days. I now live without fear and from a place of gratitude and excitement. Cannot recommend this woman enough!

    Amelia B, Business Owner & Single Mum of 1

  • “When I started with Vivien, I couldn’t see a way out of the stress cycle I was in. I’d switched jobs twice thinking things would get better, but the anxiety always followed me. For the first time, I feel in control of my mind - not the other way around. I’m sleeping better, making clearer decisions, and feeling hopeful again.”

    Liz R., Head of Innovation, Recently Returned from Maternity Leave

  • “I highly recommend Vivien - she brought me through a tough transitional period with a huge amount of support, compassion and practical advice. By the end of my first session, Vivien had created a pathway to helping build a better mindset with practical tools that I continue to practice today. In short, Vivien is awesome, a positive force and a brilliant guide towards a better future.”

    Sam B, Marketing Manager

  • "Our work together helped me see patterns in my relationships that I had never really understood before. Vivien creates a space that feels thoughtful and non-judgemental, which made it much easier to talk openly about difficult things. At the same time, the sessions were always practical and forward-moving. I’ve noticed real changes in how I communicate and how I handle difficult conversations."

    James R., Business Owner & Dad of 2

  • "Working with Vivien gave us space to slow down and actually hear each other properly for the first time in a long time. We’d fallen into the same arguments over and over again and couldn’t seem to break the pattern. Vivien helped us understand what was really happening underneath those conversations and gave us practical ways to communicate differently. Things feel much calmer between us now, and we handle disagreements in a much more constructive way.

    James & Laura

  • "We came to Vivien at a point where we felt quite distant from each other and weren’t sure how to get back on track. The sessions helped us understand each other’s perspectives in a way we hadn’t managed on our own. Vivien created a space where both of us felt heard, and we began to see the patterns that were keeping us stuck. It helped us reconnect and feel like we were working as a team again."

    Sophie & Daniel

  • "What stood out about working with Vivien was the balance between insight and practical tools. We didn’t just talk about problems — we learned ways to approach conversations differently and understand what was driving our reactions. That’s made a real difference in everyday life. Our relationship feels much more stable and supportive now."

About Vivien

Hello, I’m Vivien Moriarty.

I’m a Therapeutic Coach based in Bristol, working with individuals and couples across the UK both online and in person.

One of the most common things I hear from clients is:
"I know something needs to change - I just don’t know how."

For over 10 years I’ve supported people through periods of change, uncertainty, and personal growth - helping them understand themselves more deeply and move forwards with greater clarity and confidence.

During that time I’ve worked with hundreds of clients navigating challenges such as self-doubt, anxiety, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, and questions about direction and purpose.

My background combines coaching, therapeutic approaches, and meditation teaching. What I’ve seen time and again is that meaningful change happens when people are given both the space to understand themselves more deeply and the tools to move forward differently.

My approach brings these together — blending emotional insight with practical strategies to help you create meaningful, lasting change in your life, work, and relationships.
