Sophie Abell - Sophie Abell Coaching - Women Mean Biz

I am a qualified and accredited Coach specialising in the emotional and mental well-being of parents at every stage of their journey.

A bit about me...

I have years of professional experience in the mental health sector and brain injury rehabilitation, along with a Psychology degree and an ICF-accredited Diploma in Transformative Coaching. As a Senior Practitioner Coach and a mum of two wonderful young boys, I deeply understand the emotional and mental challenges of parenthood.

Having navigated the highs and lows of parenthood and the return to work after having children, I am passionate about helping parents find balance, confidence, and freedom from guilt. My goal is to empower them to thrive both professionally and personally with clarity, compassion, and ease.

I love working one-to-one with parents, providing a warm, informal space where they can openly explore their challenges with my support. I also partner with businesses, delivering a specialised Emotional & Mental Wellbeing Coaching Programme for working parents, helping them successfully balance their professional roles and parenthood.

Beyond coaching, I’m absolutely obessed with dogs - I truly believe they’re the best creatures to walk this earth! Their unconditional love, loyalty, and comfort are invaluable to me. I enjoy practising yoga and meditation to stay grounded and balanced, and whenever I get the chance, I escape to Cornwall with my family to soak up the countryside, slow down, and recharge in nature’s healing space.

"Working with Sophie was a wonderful experience, especially as someone new to coaching. I was fascinated by how the right questions helped me dive deeper into my thoughts and uncover the limiting beliefs that were holding me back in daily life as a mum. With Sophie’s support, I was able to break through these barriers and step into a place of greater self-acceptance and confidence in motherhood. I’m now living and loving myself more fully and able to give more of myself to my children in an enjoyable and compassionate way.""

The sessions were always flexible with what I wanted to cover and Sophie was always professional, happy, friendly, positive and encouraging.
