Be the person you were born to be!
From survival to self-belief — helping you feel calm, confident, and in control.
Where emotional healing meets real-world transformation.
Hi, I’m Taran Spero, Transformational Coach and founder of the Emotional Mastery Programme and Transform & Thrive Pathway — a framework over 20 years in the making.
Rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience, this work has been shaped through my journey of recovery, transformation, and over a decade working in the NHS, supporting hundreds of people to regulate emotions, rebuild confidence, and thrive.
With more than 5,000 hours of professional coaching, I’ve guided both private clients and NHS staff to reconnect with who they were born to be — calm, capable, and emotionally free.
Break free from anxiety, stress and self-doubt — with The Emotional Mastery Program
WHO IS THE EMOTIONAL MASTERY PROGRAM FOR?

You’re tired of stress, anxiety and self-doubt running your life.
You want practical tools to manage stress, anxiety and low moods every day.
You’re ready to build confidence, heal the past and feel like yourself again.
You struggle to stay balanced — bottling things up or letting them explode.
You want support you can actually use—simple steps that become everyday habits.
You want real, lasting change — not just quick fixes.
The Emotional Mastery Program gives you practical tools to manage stress, anxiety and overwhelm, grow self-awareness & emotional intelligence, and build a lasting foundation for personal growth.
Regulate your nervous system. Rebuild emotional confidence. Start feeling like yourself again.
Where This Program Comes From
This isn’t something I created overnight. It’s based on a framework I developed and delivered in the NHS — built from over 20 years of lived experience, training, and professional practice.
This version brings together the essential tools I used in clinical settings, along with everything I’ve learned about the nervous system, emotional processing, and practical recovery.
In NHS delivery, 95% of participants reported positive change within just four weeks — but the waitlist was up to nine months.
This version is designed to be better: faster to access, easier to use, and available when you need it.
Now, you don’t have to wait. You don’t have to get approval. You don’t have to settle for surface-level support.
You get the full system. And you get to start today.

I have enjoyed my coaching sessions with Taran for the past few months. I’m taking on roles and tasks I previously shied away from. I now feel more confident chairing team meetings and no longer feel overwhelmed within myself. Taran helps me believe in my abilities. I’m journaling to practise gratitude and affirmations, I’ve started meditating, and I procrastinate less.
I’m more organised and delegating more at work. Thank you so much, Taran — I’m so glad I chose you.

— Jahrese T — Project Team NHSSetting aside time to be coached showed me the value of focusing on myself and the challenges I face. The space Taran created helped me find answers to managing my workload effectively and recognise the importance of personal development, which I’d always struggled to prioritise.
She enabled me to find simple solutions for creating space and time to plan, and to use supervision more effectively — not by telling me what to do, but by helping me find my own answers. The sessions transformed my working style and gave me confidence to make changes I had resisted.

My Story: From Surviving to Thriving
-
My mission is to create a global movement of emotional freedom and transformation, empowering people from all walks of life to break free from limitation, anxiety, self-doubt, and past conditioning—so they can step fully into their power, authenticity, and purpose.
In 2006, I was told I would never work again and would need to take medication for the rest of my life. I refused to accept that as truth. Instead, I began a journey of deep emotional healing, nervous system recovery, and self-discovery that changed everything. That decision led me to work within the NHS mental health system, where I witnessed firsthand how many people feel numb, anxious, overwhelmed, and trapped by emotional pain—often being told they’ll never recover.
Through that experience, I realised that what an “expert” tells you does not define your future—and that healing is always possible when you understand how your emotions, body, and mind truly work together.
Animals and nature played a profound role in my recovery. They grounded me when I felt lost and reminded me of calm, connection, and unconditional love. Because of that, I am committed to giving 25% of my annual earnings to grassroots animal and nature projects—small, heart-led initiatives around the world where people are truly protecting, restoring, and nurturing life. It’s my way of giving back to the living world that has given me so much strength.
I believe mental health exists on a spectrum, and no matter where someone begins—whether you can’t sleep properly, feel anxious all the time, can’t stop overthinking, or feel overwhelmed with life—you have the innate capacity to heal, grow, and thrive.
My work bridges science and spirituality, combining the neuroscience of emotions, emotional regulation techniques, and trauma-informed coaching with universal principles of alignment and energy. I teach practical, science-backed ways to calm the nervous system, release emotional pain, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
This is not just about coping—it’s about transformation. It’s about learning to regulate your emotions, reset your energy, and master your mindset so you can stop people-pleasing, end emotional burnout, and step into emotional mastery.
My mission is to help people move from survival to sovereignty—to feel safe, grounded, and live as the amazing person they truly are.
The life you want is waiting for you. Be the person you were born to be.
My Core Values
Making a Difference – Creating real, lasting change for people, animals, and the planet.
Integrity – Leading with honesty, authenticity, and alignment in everything I do.
Openness – Staying transparent, inclusive, and always willing to learn.

It’s for anyone feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, low confidence, disassociated, or just not feeling like they are their best self. If you’re ready to feel better, think clearer, and take back your emotional steadiness—this is for you.
-
I’m Taran Spero—a professional coach with over 5,000 hours of experience, and a lived experience practitioner who spent 10+ years working inside the NHS. I developed this programme within the NHS and have refined it to bring out to the public.
-
The core programme runs over 4 weeks with 1–2 hours of content each week. It’s fully self-paced, and you’ll have lifetime access to revisit the materials any time. Ideally, you need to spend 30 mins per day on the practices.
-
Most people feel a shift by week 2—more awareness, less reactivity, and a clearer sense of what’s going on inside. By the end of the programme, you’ll have a full emotional toolkit and a completely new relationship with your feelings.
-
You’ll get clear guidance in each module, plus access to the Skool community space for support and connection. If you choose the coaching tier, you’ll also get direct weekly support from me in the live group sessions.
You’ll get 4 x 1 weekly modules, each with short videos, body-based practices, emotional tools, workbooks, and guided exercises—plus weekly group coaching sessions on Zoom if you join the supported tier.
-
Brilliant. This works beautifully alongside therapy or previous personal development work. It’s practical and hands-on—giving you tools to apply day-to-day, not just insights to think about.
-
Each week, we meet live on Zoom for a small group coaching session. You can bring questions, get direct support, or just show up and listen. You don’t need to share if you don’t want to—come as you are.
-
Everything is hosted on a private, easy-to-use community platform called Skool. You’ll get immediate access to all modules, reminders via email, and everything is in one place—no tech headaches.
-
Not at all. Skool is simple and works on desktop or phone. You’ll get clear instructions, support if needed, and weekly emails to keep you on track.

My Story: From Surviving to Thriving
About me Taran’s story is central to the work—tap to read the full journey.
I grew up facing childhood trauma, mental health challenges, and periods of deep emotional pain. There were times I felt numb, anxious, and overwhelmed with life—constantly wondering “why do I feel so sad?” or “how do I stop overthinking?”
I overcame an abusive relationship and addiction, but through it all, I kept dancing to my own drum—refusing to let others define who I was or who I could become.
The Turning PointAfter ten years working as a model, I was told I would never work again and would need to take medication for the rest of my life. Hearing that was devastating—it felt like my world collapsed overnight.
But that moment of despair became the start of my emotional healing journey. I refused to accept a life defined by labels or limitation. I began studying emotional regulation techniques, exploring the mind–body connection, and learning how to calm my nervous system. That choice changed everything.
Recovery & StudyI channelled my pain into purpose. Determined to understand the science of emotions, I enrolled in a psychology degree and a counselling course, where I learned how the brain, emotions, and nervous system work together. I applied every insight to my own recovery—learning how to manage stress and anxiety, reset my nervous system, and regain confidence.
At the same time, I volunteered on a suicide crisis line, where I discovered the profound healing power of presence, empathy, and human connection.
Service & LeadershipMy journey led me into a deeply fulfilling career within the NHS mental health system, where I worked with service users, staff, and leaders to create meaningful, lasting change.
I saw people who felt trapped in overthinking, angry all the time, or emotionally exhausted, being told they’d “never recover.” But I knew that wasn’t true. They weren’t broken—they just lacked the emotional mastery tools and self-regulation techniques they needed to heal.
That realisation became the foundation of my life’s work: helping others move from survival to sovereignty—from emotional pain to emotional freedom.
