Holistic healing & coaching
You've been holding it together.
Let's put it back together.
I'm Abi. I work with people who look fine on paper and feel anything but — burnout, grief, the low hum of anxiety that never quite lifts. We go at your pace, and we start where you actually are.
- Certified holistic practitioner
- 1:1 and small-group sessions
- In person & online
"First time in years someone asked what I needed instead of telling me." — Client, six-month programme
How I work
No pushing. No fixing.
Most people arrive having already tried the obvious things — the app, the book, the friend who means well. So we don't start there. We start by working out what your body and your week are actually telling you.
-
A conversation first
Twenty minutes, free, no form to fill in beforehand. You tell me what's going on. I tell you honestly whether I'm the right person — and if I'm not, I'll point you to someone who is.
-
We map the actual pattern
The first two or three sessions are spent finding the shape of it: when it flares, what it costs you, what you've already built to cope. Nothing gets changed until we can both see it clearly.
-
We work in cycles, not forever
Six or twelve sessions, then we stop and review. If it's working, we keep going. If it isn't, we say so. The goal is that you stop needing the sessions, not that you keep booking them.
Ways to work together
Three doors. Same room.
Everyone starts with the same free call, and we decide together which of these fits. You can move between them later — nothing here locks you in.
-
Start hereSingle sessions
For a specific knot — a decision you can't make, a grief that's resurfaced, a week that's come apart. Book one, see how it lands.
- No package, no commitment
- Written recap after each session
- Rebook whenever you want to
-
Most chosen
The six-month programme
The one that does the real work. Long enough to change a pattern rather than just name it, short enough to have an end in sight.
- Twelve 75-minute sessions
- Message support between sessions
- A review at month three — you can stop there
-
Small group
The circle
Sometimes the useful thing is hearing someone else say the sentence you've been too embarrassed to say. Capped at eight, always.
- Six weekly 90-minute evenings
- Same group throughout — no drop-ins
- Runs three times a year
Fees are discussed on the free call, and a limited number of reduced-rate places are held each term. Ask about those here.
About Abi
I did the burnout before I did the training.
I spent nine years in hospital administration, and the last two of them running on very little. I was competent, I was reliable, and I was quietly falling apart. What eventually helped wasn't advice — it was one person who asked better questions and didn't flinch at the answers.
So I retrained. Not to hand people a framework, but to be that person for someone else. My work sits between coaching and therapeutic practice: practical enough to change your Tuesday, patient enough to reach what's underneath it.
I work mostly with people in their thirties and forties who are holding a lot — caring roles, demanding jobs, a grief nobody acknowledged. If that's you, you're not behind.

In their words
What changed, in the end.
Shared with permission. Names are first-name-only or changed where someone asked — which most people do, and that's completely fine.
-
First time in years someone asked what I needed instead of telling me. I came in wanting to be fixed by Christmas. What I got was slower and much more useful.
-
I'd been to two counsellors before and spent both lots of sessions performing being fine. Abi noticed by week two and said so.
-
The review at month three mattered more than I expected. Being asked whether I wanted to stop made it possible to keep going.
-
I joined the circle expecting to hate it. Six weeks later I was the one refusing to let the group WhatsApp die.
-
My mum died in the February and I didn't tell anyone at work for four months. This is where I finally said it out loud.
-
Practical without being brisk. I always left with one thing to actually do, which is more than I can say for the app I paid for.
