Successful women aged 35–55 in the UK - I’m looking for participants for a private research project.

I’m a psychologist researching a very specific experience: women who have built an objectively good, stable life and achieved significant personal or professional success, but internally it doesn’t feel the way they expected it would.

You might recognise thoughts such as:

“I’ve achieved so much - why don’t I feel more fulfilled?”
“My life is good, so why does something still feel missing or not quite right?”
“I’ve already done a lot of work on myself - why is something still here?”

I’m specifically looking for women who genuinely recognise themselves in this experience - rather than simply going through a difficult period or having one particular area of life they would like to change.

I’m inviting a small number of women for a private 30-minute research conversation. This is not a sales call. I want to understand what this experience actually feels like and how you describe it in your own words.

In return for your time, I’ll send you a personalised reflection based on what you shared, highlighting patterns, tensions and questions that may help you see your own experience from a different perspective. I’ll also share the anonymised research findings once the study is complete.

If this genuinely describes you, comment below or send me a private message and I’ll send you the link to choose a time.

I’m a psychologist conducting a small private research project with successful UK-based women, approximately 35–55.

Have you built a good life, achieved a lot - and still find yourself wondering why something doesn’t feel quite right?

I’m-interested in speaking with women whose lives, from the outside, are genuinely good - they’ve accomplished things they’re proud of, created stability and have plenty to be grateful for - yet the way they experience their lives internally doesn’t seem to match what they’ve built externally.

Some have also spent years working on themselves - through therapy, personal development or other forms of inner work - and still find there are things they haven’t been able to fully understand, change or resolve.

I want to understand what women are actually experiencing within that contradiction: what is difficult about it, what affects them most, and how they describe it in their own words.

I’m looking to speak privately with a small number of women for around 30 minutes.

This isn’t a sales call, and there’s nothing to prepare or fill out beforehand. I want to listen to your experience without assuming what you should be feeling or what the problem is.

As a thank-you for your time, I’ll create a Personal Reflection Summary specifically for you, based on our conversation. I’ll reflect back the key patterns I noticed in what you shared, any tensions or contradictions that may be difficult to see when you’re inside your own experience, what seems to still feel unresolved, and a few personalised questions for further reflection.

Once the research is complete, I’ll also send you the anonymised Research Findings, so you can see what emerged across the other women I spoke with, where their experiences overlapped and where they differed.

It’s my way of making sure the 30 minutes you give me are genuinely valuable for you too.

If you recognise yourself in this and would be open to taking part, comment below or send me a private message.

Have you built the career or business you were working towards… but it doesn’t feel the way you expected?

I’m a psychologist conducting a small private research project exploring an experience I’m particularly interested in among women who have achieved meaningful professional or business goals:
What happens when you build much of the life you were working towards, but reaching it doesn’t necessarily feel the way you expected?

I’m looking to speak with a small number of UK-based women, approximately 35–55, who have built a successful career or business and recognise something in this experience.

I’m interested in understanding it in women’s own words - what you expected this stage of life to feel like, how it actually feels, and what you’ve made of that difference.

I’m inviting participants to a private 30-minute conversation. This is research, not a sales call.

As a thank-you for your time, after our conversation I’ll send you a short Personal Reflection Summary based specifically on what you shared, including some of the patterns or tensions I noticed and a few personalised questions for self-reflection.

Once the research is complete, I’ll also send you the anonymised Research Findings, so you can see what patterns appeared across the women I spoke with, where their experiences differed, and how other women described this stage of their lives.

If this resonates with you and you’d be interested in taking part, please comment below and I’ll share the details.

Have you built much of the life you were working towards… but it doesn’t feel the way you expected?

I’m a psychologist conducting a small private research project exploring what happens when women build much of the life they were working towards, but discover that having those things doesn’t necessarily feel the way they expected.

I’m looking to speak with a small number of UK-based women, approximately 35–55, who have achieved meaningful professional and/or personal goals and recognise something in that experience.
