Stop leading from anxiety. Become a calm founder—even when things go wrong.

Are you a driven service business owner who feels permanently “on”... and wants calm, clear execution without burning out your health, relationships, or peace?

If this is you, you’re not alone.

You’ve built something real. People rely on you. Growth is happening (or needs to).

But behind the scenes:

You can’t fully switch off—even on “rest” days

Rest creates guilt, so you go back to work… and stay stressed.

⭕ You’re more irritable than you want to be.

⭕ You’re less present at home, and not as sharp at work.

⭕ Your mind keeps scanning for what could go wrong next.

From the outside you look capable.

Inside it can feel like you’re leading from pressure, not from choice.

The shift: safety first in the body, then clarity in the mind.

Most founders try to think their way out of stress.

But when your nervous system is stuck in “on,” your leadership narrows... you become reactive, impatient, and constantly bracing for impact.

My work helps you create real safety and steadiness in your body first... so your mind can stop looping—and you can lead with calm execution again.

Hi, I’m Alan Bordeville.

My mission is to help driven, growth‑phase service business owners stop leading from anxiety... so they can become calm founders—even when things go wrong.

This grew out of a pattern I kept seeing with founders... hustle gets normalised until it starts costing health, relationships, and presence. 

The biggest trap? Guilt when resting, which keeps you permanently “on.”

The good news is you can escape the trap...

Here's how:

The Bordeville Method (3 steps)

Step 1. Regulate the stress (fast, practical tools)

We lower the intensity first—so you can think, decide, and lead again.

You’ll get tools you can use immediately in real founder moments (before a hard call, after a client issue, when you can’t switch off at night).

Step 2. Identify the pattern driving the anxiety

We find what’s actually keeping you “on”... pressure to perform, perfectionism, people‑pleasing, control loops, over-responsibility, or identity tied to output.

Step 3. Build calm leadership habits that hold under pressure

Not a temporary reset—new defaults.

So you can stay steady when things wobble, and recover faster when they don’t go to plan.

Who this is for

This is for you if you’re a service business owner... (agency, consultancy, coaching, studio, freelance team) and:

✔️ You’re ambitious—but the way you’re operating isn’t sustainable

✔️ You feel constant urgency, even when there’s no immediate fire

✔️ You want to be calmer, clearer, and more present—at work and at home

✔️ You want growth without sacrificing your health or relationships

What clients say

"His supportive, understanding and non judgemental nature provided huge support."

"Alan helped me to find my confidence and self esteem..."

"Alan's relaxed attitude helped sometimes even laugh at the difficult moments..."

"Alan was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him."

"Alan is exceptional... I couldn't have asked for a better counsellor"

"Alan helped me both develop a much better understanding of myself and implement practical strategies..."

"Alan was able to guide me through my thoughts with the right balance of involvement."

"Alan's sessions have been extremely helpful in guiding me and giving me a sense of peace."

You'll start feeling calmer within the first few sessions... and build lasting leadership habits over the following months.

Take the first step and request a free consult.

Here's how:

Fill in the contact form.

I’ll send you details to book a time.

We’ll talk through what’s going on, what you want instead, and whether we’re a fit.

If we’re a fit, I’ll explain the best next step.

If not, you’ll still leave with more clarity and a practical next move.

Why now

Leading from anxiety doesn’t stay contained... it spreads into sleep, decision-making, relationships, and your ability to enjoy what you’re building.

You don’t need more grind.

You need a calmer system—so you can run your business from steadiness.
