Helping women & mothers calm their minds, care for their wellbeing and reconnect with themselves

Hi, I’m Sophie - a Wellbeing Coach & Mentor for Women, with a background in Psychology and mental health.

You might appear to be holding it all together, but inside you’re feeling mentally and emotionally drained - low mood, anxious, disconnected, or simply not yourself, like you’re just getting through the days, rather than truly living them.

If you're a mother, the mental load can feel relentless - juggling responsibilities, battling guilt, and constantly questioning yourself. Perhaps you're uncertain about returning to work, struggling to blend work, family and your own needs, or simply craving space to breathe and reconnect with yourself.

I’m here to support you in caring for your emotional wellbeing - helping you build confidence, resilience, and a more balanced state of mind. Together, we’ll work through whatever challenges you’re facing and begin to release the pressure and guilt that weigh you down. This is a space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with calm, clarity, and self-compassion. You don’t have to do it alone.

Looking After You is a Vital Part of Everything Else

“Emotional wellness is the foundation of how we think, feel, and show up in the world. It shapes how we manage life’s challenges, influences our relationships, and affects our confidence and overall wellbeing. For mothers, it also impacts how we connect with our children and navigate the demands of motherhood. When we care for our mental wellbeing, we feel more grounded, present, and resilient. But when it’s neglected, it can lead to anxiety, low mood, emotional exhaustion, and disconnection from ourselves and our lives. Prioritising your emotional wellness isn’t selfish - it’s essential. It allows you to show up with self compassion, balance, and strength - for yourself and those you care about. Looking after you is a vital part of everything else.”
— Sophie Abell

Life can feel overwhelming - especially when you’re carrying so much for everyone else. It’s easy to lose yourself beneath the stress, expectations, and self-doubt.

    Relationships can uplift or drain. We’ll explore patterns, improve communication, and help you build safer, deeper connections.

Why Choose Me?

I know how heavy it can feel when your wellbeing is out of balance. When I became a mother, my own wellbeing suffered. It was a silent struggle that left me feeling lost and exhausted. But through my own journey, I’ve learned that healing begins when you start taking care of yourself from the inside out.

With a background in Psychology, mental health and brain injury rehabilitation, I understand how fragile our emotional wellbeing can be and how transformative it is when we start caring for it. I’m here to offer you the tools, support, and compassion to feel more grounded, calm, and whole again. You’re not alone - and together, we’ll find a way forward.

What to Expect Working With Me

  • A "Thinking Environment"

    A Thinking Environment in coaching creates the ideal space for meaningful thought and reflection. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can think freely, without interruption or judgment, something rare in today’s busy world.

    With a forward focused approach, we’ll work together at a pace that suits you. I’ll guide you through conversations centred on your wellbeing and empower you with strategies and confidence to navigate life with compassion and intention.

    “Coaching is different from other conversations. It is future focused and optimistic and sets the expectation that things will change” ~ Claire Pedrick

  • Feel Empowered

    Only you know what’s right for your wellbeing. I’ll empower you to trust yourself, take control of your wellbeing journey and create a path that honours your values, supporting your growth as a whole person.

Coaching you to THRIVE, not just survive

Meet Sophie

When I became a first-time mum, my mental wellbeing took a serious hit. Low moods, self-doubt, mum guilt, and feeling ‘not enough’ weighed me down, and I lost sight of who I was.

Everything changed when I reached out to a coach. That moment inspired me to become an accredited Wellbeing Coach, passionate about helping women reclaim their power. I understand how brave it is to seek support, and I’m here to help you prioritise and strengthen your wellbeing.

Workplace Maternity Return Programme

How well does your business support working mothers to boost retention, workplace culture, and performance?

If retention is a top priority for your business, then my bespoke 1-2-1 Foundations to Flourish programme is for you. This tailored programme provides mothers on maternity leave with the space, tools, and support they need to prepare for the often uncertain and emotional return to work.

Becoming a mother is one of life’s biggest transitions, affecting every aspect of a woman’s identity, both personally and professionally. From the anxiety of leaving a child, to diminished confidence, self-doubt, and the ongoing challenge of creating a sustainable work-life blend - it’s a journey that requires thoughtful support.

By investing in your working mothers, your business can boost retention, reduce re-training costs, increase engagement and productivity, and foster a more inclusive, supportive workplace culture. Motherhood shouldn’t mean sacrificing a career. With the right guidance, there is space for both to thrive.

Client Testimonials…

“Before working with Sophie, I felt helpless. Life was heavy, and I wasn’t truly present, not for my children, my partner, my work, or myself. I was constantly distracted by never ending to do lists and running on empty. Together, we set meaningful goals that prioritised rest, presence, and focus. I carved out time for my studies, introduced daily gratitude, and started noticing the small joys that used to pass me by.

Life feels lighter now. I’m more hopeful and far better equipped to face each day. Coaching with Sophie has given me practical, lasting change. She gently guided me to uncover the real goals beneath the surface, and helped me make changes that felt natural and sustainable, not just another task on my list. What Sophie offers is more than coaching; it’s a safe, empowering space to reflect, realign, and move forward with intention. She doesn’t just help you survive - she helps you thrive.”

My Coaching Values

  • Empowerment

    When you step into your power, you begin to see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles, and realise that you hold the power to shape your reality and design a life that aligns with your values, dreams, and passions.

  • Vulnerability

    Being open to vulnerability is the key to true growth and transformation. It’s through embracing our imperfections and fears that we unlock the potential for deep personal development and lasting change.

  • Authenticity

    Let authenticity lead the way. Be true to who you are. When you embrace your true self, you gain deeper self-awareness, and unlock the courage to pursue your passions, face your fears, and grow beyond your limits.

  • Trust

    Trust you have your own answers and believe your journey of change is possible. The wisdom you seek lies deep within your own experiences, intuition, and inner voice. Listen to yourself with patience and compassion.
