Mindset · Identity Unfolding · Behaviour Patterns · Ikigai Framework

Imagine finding your flow in life — where time slips away, you're full of joy, contentment and laughter, you love your career and your work, no stress, nothing weighing you down. That state of flow — in mind, body and heart — is exactly what my coaching is all about, guiding you to a whole new mindset and perspective on life. Shall we get started?

When you change the way you think, everything begins to change.

Imagine your life is like your inbox. What would you choose to delete to make more room for what really matters to you?

✦  To Leave More Room For  ✦ Purpose · Time · Energy · Focus & Clarity · Fun · Peace · Flow & Alignment

That's exactly where I come in. Together we'll delete what's draining you — the stress, the noise, the self-doubt and inner blocks you've carried for too long — and make room for the clarity, calm and purpose you've been craving.

I will help you bridge your gap — from continuing to say yes to everyone and everything out of habit, guilt or fear, and to people and things that quietly stopped serving you long ago, towards where and how you experience your best life today. Ask yourself the all-important question that changes everything: is this adding value, happiness, joy and peace to my life? If not, it's time to say no, let it go, and start choosing differently.

✦   ✦   ✦

Every goal has a why behind it — the real reason you're chasing it. Together we'll get clear on yours, and where an old why no longer fits, we'll uncover a new one that genuinely moves you toward the life you want.

You have to make the choice, to take a chance, to make a change — otherwise everything stays the same.

This is how I found my way back to living a brighter, lighter, happier life

— and started a whole new chapter, once I hit my turning point: no going back, only moving forwards was my option.

Here's what I help you create: a calmer, clearer mind, real confidence, and a better quality of life — where you think outside the box, feel truly thriving rather than just getting by, and keep only the people and things that add real value to you. A more vibrant, healthy, balanced and brighter way of living.

I don't teach this from a textbook — I've lived it. For more than 20 years I came through school bullying and narcissistic abuse, and I rebuilt my mindset and my identity into the person I always wanted to become — using the Ikigai philosophy and other proven strategies that reshaped how I think and feel. I'm a certified coach, but it's those two decades of lived experience that mean I truly understand where you are.

Part of that journey is gently helping you recognise and break free from narcissistic abuse — whether it comes from a partner, a family member, a friend or a colleague — so you can rebuild your confidence and your sense of who you are.

When I turned 40 in 2025 (though I'm writing this in 2026), that became my pivot — my turning point for a second clean slate. And my real calling!

💭
🎉

Rediscovering My Joy

When I turned 40, my mum took the opportunity to remind me that I needed to evaluate my life for what I was grateful and appreciative of already — because I kept hitting really low points where I nearly fell back into depression. She was able to remind me to be thankful and have gratitude towards everything I have already achieved, so I didn't forget them, to give me an emotional and mental boost which was much needed.

She is actually the lady in the black dress with the sparkler — because she always reminds me never to lose my own sparkle. 💛

Abbie celebrating with a sparkler Abbie's mum in black dress with sparkler

Rebuilding my identity, rediscovering my spark and finding my purpose — to guide others through the very same journey.

It was my mum who reminded me to find out my true calling and to follow and discover my own Ikigai path. Which is why this page actually exists for you to read today! 💛

And my dad gave me his own words of wisdom throughout my life — plenty of strong advice, but this one in particular has always stood out for me. He said that when you come across bullies, or anyone who doesn't add value to your life, or who feels like a threat — whether that is a work colleague, a friend, or anyone you know who purposely distracts you or is unkind — just quietly think to yourself, thank you. Because then you know exactly who not to keep in your life or your circle of friends, and who to move on from.

When people don't make you happy or add real value, detach — because they will only ever bring you down, and they're not the kind of people to have around you if you want to live the quality of life you deserve. By saying thank you, you're appreciating what they've shown you: it's usually highlighting what you're obviously doing right — they just don't like it, and unfortunately that's why they become an unwanted threat, for no reason at all.

And remember this: if people don't celebrate you, encourage you to go for it and cheer you on — then quite simply, they are not your people.

Me and my dad — finding new levels of fun I hadn't experienced before. 💛

— Learning to listen to my own intuition and inner voice and understanding gratitude was my turning point

To bring back my joy and fun in life, my parents surprised me with an unforgettable rally-car track drifting experience — full of joy, happiness and laughter! I couldn't thank them enough. My dad always seems to know exactly what will make me jump for joy!

And that feeling — freedom, joy, fully alive again — is exactly what I want to guide you back to.

Who I Help & How

You're in the Right Place

I support both men and women, from all walks of life — whether you're working, between roles, raising a family, or simply figuring out what comes next. This is for anyone who feels stressed, overwhelmed or unsure which way to turn, and who quietly senses there's more to life than worrying over the same things they can't control.

Does any of this feel familiar?

Have you ever felt stressed, lost, with too much negativity, drama and noise in your life — not yourself, like people were trying to change who you are just to fit in, stopping your activities, keeping you from your friends? Brain fog, constant self-doubt, isolated, brainwashed, constantly lied to and manipulated, no time for you — constantly running low on energy, like a battery running on red all day, every day?

Then my coaching methods are the perfect way for you to uncover the results you're looking for. Read on to discover the amazing Ikigai method below.

✦ The Wisdom Behind It

What Is Ikigai — and Why It Works

One of the main methods I coach is the Ikigai method — a beautiful process that brings together your strengths, passions, purpose, skills, flow, energy and alignment. After working through a series of clarity and life-balancing questions, you're left with what sits at your centre: your true Ikigai, and the passions that help you live a joyful, healthy, vibrant life. It's a method that helps you think differently about yourself and the world around you — to step outside the box and see life as the bigger picture. Not many people know about the Ikigai framework, and that's exactly why I find it such a beautiful thing to talk through and guide you with, opening the door to a more exciting life.

Ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) is a beautiful Japanese idea that simply means your reason for being — the thing that gets you out of bed each morning with a spark. It lives right where what you love, what you're naturally good at, and what the world needs of you all meet. When you set clear intentions and live from that place, life stops feeling like noise, chaos and pressure and starts to flow — your days feel lighter, your choices clearer, and everything comes gently back into alignment.

And this isn't just a lovely theory. Researcher Dan Buettner and National Geographic uncovered five remarkable places on earth — known as the Blue Zones (Okinawa in Japan, Sardinia, Ikaria, Nicoya and Loma Linda) — where people routinely live active, joyful lives to 100 and well beyond, with far less illness than the rest of us. Their secret was never a miracle diet or a magic pill. Running through every one of these communities was a deep sense of purpose, connection and flow — in Okinawa they call it Ikigai — and research suggests a clear sense of purpose alone can add years to your life. That very sense of flow and alignment is exactly what we'll rebuild in you.

And if the pressure is coming from someone else — a narcissistic partner, draining friends, or anyone quietly taking the life out of you — this is where I step in. Together we'll break that cycle, uncover your breakthrough moments, and turn everything you've survived into your comeback — all the way to becoming a narcissistic survivor.

Finding Your Balance and Sense of Purpose

✦ The Ikigai Framework

If you're stressed, stretched thin or quietly burning out, together we'll reset your balance and reconnect you with your energy, purpose and what truly matters. You don't need to know a thing about it; I'll gently guide you through every step.

⚖️

Reclaim Your Identity, Personality & Mindset Back

Reclaim your true self before you got sucked into the toxic trap of the unknown.

If you're stuck in, or going through, narcissistic relationship recovery, then this is exactly the right safe space for you to be. I've been through it all, so I know exactly your position.

Ikigai is simply a beautiful, proven way of discovering where your passions, strengths and purpose all meet — and I make it warm, simple and completely tailored to you.

When life feels like too much — the stress, the noise, the sense that you’ve lost a little of who you are — you don’t have to stay there. A more vibrant, healthy, fun, successful and balanced life is waiting for you.

This is a calm, gentle space to slow down, breathe, and start building a better quality of life. It begins with your mindset — I coach the shift in how you think, grounded in a real understanding of human behaviour, so you don’t just feel better, you understand why.

It all starts with your mindset

the life that follows

You might be wondering — how can she help me? What does she really know about life?

Let me put your mind at ease. Everything I described — the stress, the self-doubt, the isolation, that battery running on red — was all happening to me, right under my nose. I’ve lived it: two decades through school and adulthood of bullying and narcissistic abuse. So I know exactly what it’s like, because I’ve been there. I hit rock bottom, and I climbed all the way back up to discover what life truly has to offer on the other side: a whole new world of possibilities.

So why not come and join me there?

Gentle Example

A Simple Day, Reclaimed

A gentle guide, not a rulebook. Take what works for you and leave the rest.

6–7am
Start with intention. If you can wake between six and seven, set your intentions for the day and get a clear plan of what you want to achieve. Tell yourself: today is going to be a great day. Get some fresh air if you can, and try not to get stuck on social media if you do not need to be.
Morning
Ask yourself one question. What could I change about today to make it a productive, moving-forward kind of day?
At work
Take proper breaks. Step away from the screen and get fresh air where you can — it is genuinely good for the brain. Many people find the Pomodoro method helpful: around twenty-five minutes of focus, then a real break.
Midday
Refuel properly. Go for a short walk if you can, eat well to keep your afternoon energy up, and stay hydrated.
Evening
Make it yours. Once work is finished, think about the fun and enjoyable things you could do with your evenings — an activity, a project you have been meaning to start, seeing friends, or quality time with family.

Swapping just one scrolling hour for something you love gives you back around seven hours a week. That is a whole evening, every week, returned to you.

The 3 C Rule
Choiceyou always have a choice
Chancetake the chance and make a change
Changeif you don't change, nothing changes

You have to make the choice, to take a chance, to make a change — otherwise everything stays the same.

I'll guide you to discover your all-round happiness balance, to feel your sense of flow, alignment and purpose.

There is real science behind how I coach — how your mind and body respond to stress, and what helps them feel calm, safe and recharged again. You do not need to learn any of it; that is my job. Yours is simply to take the first step.

Together, we'll reset your boundaries without guilt and bring you back to a life that finally feels like yours — no more hiding, no more settling for "I'll be OK, it'll do." Using proven tools like the Ikigai framework, and gently unpicking the limiting beliefs that hold you back, we'll uncover what real fulfilment looks like for you — and walk the path there, together.

No quick fixes. No empty promises. Just real, lasting change — and it starts the moment you decide you are worth it.

Who I Work With

I work with adults at every stage of life — in established careers, between roles, raising families, or standing at a crossroads wondering what comes next. Most people arrive carrying far more than they let on: stretched thin, uncertain which direction to take, and quietly aware that life could feel very different from the way it feels right now. Wherever you are in that, you will be met with warmth, discretion and no judgement.

If you're ready for more energy, purpose and clarity — a real sense of focus and direction, and a clearer understanding of what truly matters — then this is your moment to put yourself first. And I'll be right beside you.

I'll greet you with a warm smile and a relaxed space. We'll build a good rapport and understanding together, and get ready to uncover your new chapters ahead. 💙

The Experience

What You Can Always Count On

01

To Be Truly Heard

A space where your voice matters completely. Full presence, no judgment, no agenda — just warm, genuine listening.

02

To Feel Completely Safe

You can bring your whole self — your fears, your messy bits, your dreams. You will always be met with compassion.

03

Real, Usable Tools

Not theory or platitudes — practical strategies you can genuinely use in your everyday life from session one.

04

Lasting Change

A genuine, sustainable shift in how you see yourself and what you believe is truly possible for your life.

✦  A moment to reflect

If you were to evaluate your life right now, what are your top three to five priorities? Are any of them happiness? If not, why do you think that is?

What is taking the top priority and compromising your own happiness? Or your family's happiness? Or your marriage's happiness?

What is consuming most of your focused energy at the moment?

✦  Before you decide

I want you to take this opportunity to have a think, right at this moment, before you make the important decision to commit to yourself.

What do you think it will take for you to reshape your life as it currently is, and adjust it to how it could be — so you can live your best life? What healthy, positive, firm boundaries might you need to consider changing to create your best life yet?

Just imagine: what would the best version of you, a year from now, say if they looked back at you today? They would say, come on, you've got this, you can do this!

Your best self is waiting for you to join your best life. They are already there, living it — you just need to join them. Are you excited?

Good to Know

Your Questions, Answered

A few things people often wonder before they reach out. If there's anything else on your mind, just ask me — there's no such thing as a silly question.

Is coaching the same as therapy or counselling?

No — and it's an important difference. Counsellors and therapists often look back to help you heal the past, and they give advice. As a coach, I work with you in the here and now, and where you want to go next: I ask the powerful, open questions that help you find your own answers, build momentum and move forward. I'm not a therapist or a medical professional, and if something would be better supported that way, I'll always tell you honestly.

What actually happens on the free discovery call?

It's a relaxed, no-pressure 15-minute chat. We get to know each other a little, you tell me where you are right now and what you're hoping for, and we see whether we're the right fit. There's nothing to prepare, and absolutely no obligation to book anything afterwards.

I've never had a coach before — is it really for me?

Completely. Most of the people I work with are brand new to coaching. You don't need to have it all figured out, or even know exactly what you want — that's so often the whole point. You simply need to be open to a fresh perspective and ready for things to feel different.

How many sessions will I need?

There's no fixed answer — it depends entirely on you and your goals. Some people come for a single reset; others love the momentum of weekly sessions over a few months (you'll find clear options for that in my pricing). You're welcome to pay as you go with no lock-in, or — if you'd rather — pay for a longer-term plan all at once. Whichever feels right for you is no problem at all, and you stay completely in control.

Do we meet in person or online?

Sessions are held online, which means we can work together wherever you are in the world. It's also why I offer evening slots right up to 10pm UK time — so we can find a moment that suits your time zone, not just mine.

Is everything I share kept confidential?

Yes — always. What you share with me stays between us. I handle your information with real care and in line with UK data-protection law; you can read exactly how in my Terms & Privacy section at the foot of the page.

What if I'm nervous, or don't know what to say?

That's far more common than you'd think — and there is genuinely no wrong thing to say. My whole job is to make this feel safe, warm and easy. You simply turn up exactly as you are, and I'll gently guide the rest.

Policies & Peace of Mind

Your Privacy, Protected

How I look after you, your trust and your information — in plain, honest language. This is written for clarity and reassurance, and reflects UK data-protection law as it stands in 2026.

Are you a qualified therapist or counsellor?

No — and I'm always upfront about that. I'm a mindset and life coach, not a therapist, counsellor, psychologist or medical professional, and I don't diagnose or treat any condition. What I do is ask powerful, open-ended questions that help you find your own clarity and answers. If something you're carrying would be better supported by a therapist, your GP or another qualified professional, I'll say so honestly and help you think about your next step.

Do you give advice or tell me what to do?

No — that isn't what coaching is, and it isn't how lasting change happens. I won't hand you instructions or tell you which decision to make. Instead, I ask the kind of open, thoughtful questions that help you hear your own thinking clearly, so the answers you reach are genuinely yours. You stay in the driving seat the whole way through.

How is my personal information protected?

With real care, and in line with UK data-protection law — the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, as updated by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. In plain terms: I only ever collect what I genuinely need to coach you well, I keep it secure, I never sell it or share it for marketing, and I'm fully accountable for how it's handled.

Are you registered with the ICO?

Yes. Because I handle client information digitally, I'm registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner's Office (the UK's data-protection regulator) and I pay the annual data-protection fee, exactly as the law requires. It's one more way of showing you that your information is taken seriously here.

What do you collect, and why?

Only what's necessary — things like your name, contact details and the notes we build together, so I can support you properly between sessions. I follow a simple principle called data minimisation: if I don't need it to coach you, I don't collect it. I'm especially careful with anything sensitive, and I'll only ever record that with your clear, explicit consent.

What are my rights over my data?

They're yours, and they're strong. You can ask to see the information I hold about you, ask me to correct anything that's wrong, or ask me to delete it. Just let me know and I'll take care of it promptly. You'll never have to jump through hoops to stay in control of your own information.

How do I raise a concern or complaint about my data?

Simply message me. I'll acknowledge your concern within 30 days and work to put it right — that's part of the complaints process now expected under UK data-protection law. And if you're ever not satisfied with how I've handled it, you always have the right to raise it directly with the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

One important note before we begin

Coaching is for personal growth, clarity and forward movement — it isn't therapy, counselling, medical care or crisis support, and it's not a substitute for them. If you're in crisis or need urgent help, please contact your GP, NHS 111, or the Samaritans free on 116 123 (24/7). I'll always coach you with warmth and honesty — and part of that honesty is knowing when a different kind of support is the right one.
