Successful but stressed?

You’re in the right place.

My name is Phil.

I help founders and senior professionals who are outwardly successful but inwardly stressed — to find the source of their stress, resolve it, and build a life that actually feels as good as it looks.

You have a successful career. You’ve got the house, the car, the family, the friends, the highly-effective habits.


You’ve created your dream life. You just don’t seem to be living it.


Behind the veil of achievement is an inner world that’s chaotic at best. Stress, a constant sense of danger, that nagging feeling that you’re not there yet, difficulty switching off and being present with the people you care most about, workplace drama, and that compulsive need to undercharge and overdeliver - they’re taking a toll on you and keeping you from enjoying the life you’ve created.


You know you need to change. You just don’t know where to start.


You don’t need another executive coach to impart their business wisdom, to teach you strategies, and to hold you accountable. You also don’t want someone to coddle you and make you feel like a victim. You’re longing for a place where you can drop the mask and be yourself, but also where you can be challenged and become a better person for yourself and for those around you.

What I offer

Working with me is different in three ways:

Somatics: We work with your body, not just your mind. This helps to bring clarity and create real, lasting transformation.

Structure: A clear 90-day program with a curriculum — you always know where you are and where you're headed.

Focus on the root cause: Most approaches teach you to manage stress better. We go to the source — the beliefs, nervous system patterns, and unprocessed emotions driving it — and resolve them. That's why the change sticks.

See how it works

Results

Here are the benefits that founders & leaders have seen in their lives.

  • Get your energy back. Stop leaking it on chronic low-grade stress, rumination, and the constant hum of anxiety that follows you into every room.

  • Reclaim your focus. When the nervous system isn't in survival mode, the mind gets clearer — decisions come faster and feel more grounded.

  • Actually switch off. Sleep better, be more present with your family, and stop "being at home" while mentally still at work.

  • Stop reacting, start responding. Break the patterns — the snapping, the overthinking, the bracing — that show up under pressure no matter how much you know better.

  • Feel proud of how you lead, not just what you build. Show up as the leader and person you intended to be, not the stressed-out version that keeps taking over.

  • Enjoy what you've built. The business, the income, the life — finally feel like yours, not just a treadmill you can't step off.

  • More presence, less performance. In relationships, in rooms, in your own head — the exhausting work of holding it together starts to ease.

Testimonials

  • Rachel Murphy

    Health tech advisor, Founder of The Grafter, previously CEO of Difrent (UK)


    Philip Hendrix has been exceptional. He has introduced me to lots of different techniques and we recorded each session. And having those recordings means I can go back and replay them and I usually get something new with each listen. Interestingly during this learning, it’s become abundantly clear that the people I clash with in the workplace are those who share similar traits I dislike in myself. I’m looking forward to kicking off another period of coaching with Philip during 2022.

  • Michael Cunningham

    Founder & former Managing Director of Healthcare Communications (UK)


    Just completed the thought-provoking Founders’ Journey delivered by the fantastic Phil Hendrix. It's been very engaging and challenging at times, adding new perspective and context to my business career… (It’s) been quite amusing when "Aggy Mike " makes an appearance… the kids now say "Be more Phil dad".

  • Padma Fischer-White

    Educator & Founder of Halio International School
    (Thailand)

    Prior to working with Philip, I think all my relationships had an element of codependency on my end. I noticed myself compromising with my partner, and complaining about it to friends. Philip gave me the distinction between my relationship “Manual” and my relationship “Standards.” With this clarity, I was able to terminate a relationship with love and understanding. It was my first time ending a relationship face-to-face actually! And tears fell out of my eyes, because I grieved the loss, but I felt strong and powerful and glad that I was true to myself.

  • Nathan Blair

    Founder of The Somatic School
    (UK)

    Phil has the biggest heart I’ve encountered in a long time. And love is a central component of effective Body-Oriented Coaching. Not as a noun, but a verb. And certainly not as a fluffy nice-to-have.

    When we offer attuned, non-controlling presence, bodies register safety (oxytocin and vagal tone shift), minds open to new learning (attachment repair, neural integration), relationships become just and mutual (partnership over domination), and meaning coheres (love as first principle).

    When we look into the latest science, love reveals itself as a central component of the operating system of change—for persons, teams, and cultures.

    And Phil is the embodiment of love.

    It's been a transformative experience. From our first session, Phil was spot on regarding my needs - which I was not clear about - I had an idea but through our conversation, I uncovered that my expectations were what was in the way of me feeling whole. We then had three sessions and each one of them were completely different yet, exactly what I needed to release, to breathe, to share my victories and challenges. Furthermore, Phil recommended reading material and practices that I continue to use today and refer to when I need it. Phil's presence and ability to listen and coach made a big difference to me.

  • Elliott McNeil

    Health & Safety Consultant
    Founder of Red Flag Safety (UK)

    Phil has taught me a lot but also showed me how to unlock things I already knew but wasn't implementing properly. I now manage my time better and little changes I have made have made massive differences. Phil is great to work with. He knows when to take control and when to let you speak. He has been a total pleasure to work with. It's my first experience with a life coach and went into it skeptical, I was proved totally wrong. Its easy to say but I really wouldn't have changed anything.

  • Halli Benson

    Learning & Wellness Coach
    (USA)

    I have been able to take control of my life and accept things as they come. I am more loving, more joyful, more aware, more peaceful, more spiritual... I feel all of my emotions with an open heart and open mind. I feel negative emotions more deeply and get curious to understand their intent and origin. I experience anxiety, but I no longer consider myself an anxious person. I am able to live in the flow and trust that everything is as it should be. Everything has changed. And now I’m facilitating change for others as a physical and mental wellness coach for people of all ages. I am grateful. Eternally.

    Phil is a wonderful listener, a compassionate and caring person who is passionate about helping people and does it through a very heartwarming process. I trusted him immediately and I felt like his guidance helped me enormously, especially to see things from a different perspective which was very valuable for me. I loved working with Phil and I can wholeheartedly recommend working with him.

  • John Fischer-White

    Retired Psychotherapist & Teacher
    (Thailand)


    In this course I was given a plethora of teachings, tools, refection practices. Some are educational, some cognitive or more "psychological" and some I would consider spiritual. Put together they create an effective and practical handbook to help anyone understand and improve their life. Even with a long history of meditation and "self development" I used many of these tools to reflect on areas in my life that were still troubling me or causing me pain and confusion. Anyone who goes through this course even superficially and does some of the practices, and uses some of the tools, will be able to shift away from negative and destructive thoughts and behaviors and start to develop thoughts and behaviors that are more aligned with their real goals and interests.

    Working with Phil has been an incredible journey. I have been able to release deep rooted subconscious programming which has been holding me back. Phil holds a very safe space, so it’s easy to transform in his presence. He also gifted in asking the perfect questions, he also sees things that you would ordinarily miss. He brings a lightness to what can sometimes be heavy work. I have healed a lot and now propelling my life forward.
