Coastal Escapes
REMOVE THE MASK®
A Private 2 Day Coastal Escape for High Achieving Women Who Need to Stop Pretending They’re Fine
A confidential, personalised healing experience on the Dorset coast - with accommodation included - created for the woman who carries the world on her shoulders but has nowhere safe to put it down.
Everyone thinks you’re strong.
Composed.
Successful.
Sorted.
The REMOVE THE MASK® Coastal Escape is a discreet, emotionally restorative, two-day immersion with multi-award-winning psychotherapist and international mentor Lisa Skeffington - designed to help you unravel safely, breathe again, and rebuild your inner steadiness.
But the truth you hide beneath the mask is different.
Behind the polished exterior, you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering how much longer you can keep holding everything together.
REGISTER your interest below for a personalised coastal escape. We’ll be in touch and I can’t wait to welcome you!
What is the Remove the Mask Coastal Escape?
This is not a retreat.
It is not group work.
It is not therapy as you’ve known it.
Remove the Mask is a bespoke, confidential, deeply therapeutic 1:1 immersion designed to help high-achieving, emotionally overloaded women finally lay down the mask of outward success and meet themselves with compassion, clarity and truth.
Held over two days on the Dorset coastline, this experience weaves together:
Advanced psychodynamic mentoring
Nervous system regulation
Trauma-informed emotional processing
Nature-based healing
Insight-oriented relational work
Spacious time to think, feel, soften and exhale
It is for the woman who is ready - or simply tired enough - to stop holding everything in alone.
Who is this escape for?
Appears strong, calm and capable on the outside
Is relied upon by everyone — at home, work or in the public eye
Is quietly overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally drained
Fears being vulnerable or “choosing the wrong help”
Has been holding too much for too long
Needs a private sanctuary to unravel safely
Wants depth, discretion, and expert support without judgement
Longs to feel emotionally grounded and self-trusting again
If you’ve been living behind a mask, this is where you finally get to take it off.
Why This Work Matters
Lisa specialises in supporting high-achieving, emotionally overloaded women — particularly in leadership, business and public-facing roles — who hide internal chaos behind external competence.
You’ll get a 1hr pre-visit consultation to talk through your challenges and set realistic goals to focus on during your coastal escape, and a post-escape de-brief consultation to make sure you are clear on your next steps forward.
Expect a mix of therapeutic guidance, gentle psychodynamic techniques, and effective communication strategies alongside nature’s calming influence - all tailored to your individual needs.
With delicious food options, comfortable and private self-contained accommodation on-site by arrangement, beach walking and other beach activities.

Meet Lisa
I know firsthand what it’s like to live behind a mask—appearing strong and capable while silently struggling with self-doubt, exhaustion, or disconnect in relationships. That’s why I’m passionate about creating space for my clients to step away from the daily pressures, gain clarity, and fast-track their healing. Through my Remove the Mask Coastal Escapes, I help you compress time—guiding you through deep, focused transformation so you can live more authentically in your life, career, and relationships.
I created Remove the Mask Coastal Escapes because true healing happens when we step away from the daily noise and allow ourselves to breathe, reflect, and reconnect. In the stillness of nature, combined with expert therapeutic guidance, you’ll have the space to release old patterns, gain new insights, and step into a more empowered version of yourself. Whether you come alone, with a partner, or with a family member, this experience is designed to bring lasting clarity, healing, and transformation.
