About Sally Barker

I’m Sally Barker, a Mental Conditioning Coach.

I help people in high-pressure roles change their relationship with stress so they can stay sharp at work and switch off at home.

Experience of pressure
Live on air.
No second takes.

Before coaching, I spent years delivering live radio news and television crosses, where “Can we do that again?” wasn’t an option.

I understand what it means to care about your work and need to deliver, even on days when there’s a lot happening in the background.

That experience informs my work with people whose roles carry responsibility, and who want the way they respond under pressure to reflect what they’re capable of.

Since 2018, I’ve worked with private clients through Peak Performance HypnoCoaching. I’m also the creator of The Stress Reset Method™.

How I work
Changing your relationship with stress.

You might come to me because a conversation keeps following you home, or because you’re second-guessing decisions you have the experience to make.

We begin with a situation you’d like to respond to differently and explore what may be influencing that response.

Through mental conditioning, we work on changing the response and strengthening a different one over time.

For longer-term coaching, we can discuss the situations you want to address and what progress would look like in your role.

Work with your mind, not against it.

Private coaching

Let’s talk about the pressure that comes with your role.

We can discuss what you’d like to change and whether working together is a good fit. Enquiries about employer-supported private coaching are welcome.
