The people who look fine but aren’t
Improve wellbeing
Higher retention
Prevent burnout
When silence costs a lot
Are people struggling quietly without anyone knowing what’s really happening?
Quietly carrying too much
Who do they speak to before they burn out or resign?
Support feels distant
Your EAP gets 3-5% utilisation. The other 95-97% carry it alone.
Good people leave
Are they leaving before anyone asks what’s wrong?
The missing layer your organisation needs
I know what it means to look fine while carrying too much
For years, I was the person people turned to when life felt complicated. Not for therapy, but for honest perspective, clarity and a safe place to say what they could not say elsewhere. I saw how often people kept performing, smiling and showing up while quietly carrying far more than anyone realised.
I also know what that feels like personally. Marriage, divorce, motherhood, corporate pressure, loss, reinvention and starting again have all shaped the work I do now. I understand how easy it is to look capable on the outside while needing somewhere safe to say, “I’m not actually fine.”
After 30+ years in international finance, including 25 years at Citigroup, I know the pressure of high-performing environments. I have managed teams across countries, worked in demanding corporate spaces and seen how personal struggles can quietly affect confidence, focus and wellbeing long before anyone asks for help.
That is why I created Lightbulb Perspective. I help organisations support the people who look fine but are quietly struggling, with confidential, human support that sits between EAP and therapy. Real talk. Fresh perspective. Total confidentiality. No judgement.
TRUSTED EXPERIENCE
From global finance to human support
I bring senior corporate experience, global team leadership and lived perspective to conversations that need honesty, confidentiality and no judgement.
How Lightbulb Perspective Works
A safe place for employees to regain clarity, confidence and perspective
My Lightbulb Moment Pathway helps organisations support employees through the moments when your best people may quietly start to disconnect. Burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions and career crossroads can all sit beneath the surface long before they become absence, disengagement or resignation.
This support gives employees a confidential space to talk honestly, feel heard and regain clarity when navigating life’s toughest moments without suffering in silence. For organisations, it creates a more human route to reach people earlier, reduce silent struggle and support the talent you want to keep. It fills the gap between your EAP and therapy, reducing absenteeism whilst increasing productivity and improving wellbeing.

Preserves your top talent
“Marta is truly inspirational! Just love talking to her as she always helps me see the light and highlights such valuable perspectives, which always makes me feel better, lighter and helps me deal with challenging situations. She’s been there and done it, which gives her a true advantage and she’s helped so many people already, even before she started LBP.”
“I could just talk to Marta for hours. She gets me. She shares so much of her experiences and those of others if it helps. Thank you for helping me see the light.”
“Marta is a radiator. She has a unique energy, which is infectious and makes her engaging. What sets her apart from others, in addition to being very knowledgeable, experienced and insightful, is that she is actually relatable.”
“I’m so glad I’ve spoken to Marta! I’ve gained brand new perspectives! I changed direction both in my romantic relationship and at work with renewed energy and confidence!”
“I was surprised how I opened up when talking to Marta. I didn't intend to, but it came naturally. Loved her energy and found her honesty truly refreshing.”
“With thirty years in international finance behind her, she brings a sharpness and depth of experience that makes her an outstanding sounding board. I've found her insight incredibly valuable; she has a knack for cutting through the noise and helping you see things from a completely different angle. Warm, honest, and endlessly driven. I'd recommend Marta to anyone”
