About
Hello! I’m Gabrielle, a positive psychology coach specialising in emotional resilience and overwhelm prevention. My journey into coaching began at a pivotal moment in my life when, at the age of 40, I became a widow. Navigating the complexities of grief while trying to fulfill both parental roles and manage a business was incredibly challenging. On the outside, I appeared strong and capable, but inside, I was grappling with feelings of unworthiness and a loss of passion for life.
Feeling stuck and disconnected from my true self, I decided to take transformative steps toward healing and growth. This led me to earn a double accredited diploma in positive coaching accredited by the Association for Coaching and the International Coaching Federation. Through this training, I discovered the power of positive psychology and how it can profoundly improve your life.
My coaching style is centered around creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for my clients. I listen so that my clients feel heard and I pose questions they may never of considered, to help individuals uncover their inner answers. I utilise a combination of coaching methodologies, particularly a solution-focused approach, to empower my clients to find clarity and direction.
My Passion
I primarily work with busy female professionals who are seeking to reclaim their sense of purpose and joy. However, I am passionate about expanding my reach to work with businesses, aiming to address overwhelm upstream and foster a healthier organisational culture.
At the core of my practice are my values: kindness, health, curiosity, and mindfulness, all built on the foundation of love. My curiosity drives me to dig deep into the challenges my clients face, while my mindfulness, informed by my studies in positive intelligence and resilience, allows me to be present and attentive during our sessions.
I have seen remarkable transformations in my clients. One success story that stands out involves a client grappling with an internal conflict between societal expectations and her authentic self. Together, we explored her motivations and redefined her routines to align with her true identity. Now, she feels more successful and connected to herself, spending less time worrying about perceived failures and more time celebrating her achievements.
Clients often seek my services for accountability, but they find that my holistic approach sets me apart. I focus on the bigger picture, skillfully weaving together all aspects of life to foster overall growth and well-being. My commitment to going the extra mile ensures my clients not only meet their goals but also thrive as individuals.
I am deeply passionate about helping people avoid the destructive effects of burnout, which can significantly impact relationships, health, and business productivity. I believe that fostering emotional resilience is essential for both personal fulfillment and a thriving workplace.
My Goals
I recognise the unique challenges businesses face, often becoming too immersed in daily operations to see the bigger picture. My goal is to provide compassionate support from an external perspective, creating a safe space where organisations can explore new possibilities for success and well-being. Together, we can cultivate environments where both individuals and teams not only survive but truly thrive.
Additionally, I will continually enhance my coaching skills, I am committed to ongoing training and am currently working towards formal accreditation. I invite you to connect with me on this journey of growth and discovery. Together, we can cultivate resilience and create a more fulfilling life.
