The first step

doesn’t need to be dramatic.

It just has to be in the right direction.

self-ACTivate was created for people who are tired of just getting through life — and ready to build a life that actually feels like theirs.

If you are navigating chronic illness or burnout, and no longer recognise yourself in all of it, you are in the right place.

Supporting someone going through this? You are welcome here too.

If you are here,

you are not quite sure what you are looking for, but you know something has to change for life to make sense again.

Maybe you feel like you are losing a part of yourself. Or you need a space where you can just be — without having to explain yourself or justify how you feel. A place that takes you seriously, meets you where you are, and actually helps you find your way forward. 

The answers aren’t somewhere out there. They’re already in you — sometimes you just need someone alongside you to help you find them. 

No one here will tell you to brave it up. But together, with the right tools and a lot of honesty, things can start to move.

I know what it means to have the ground shift beneath you — running low on energy but pretending to be ok. Maybe ACT found me, or I found it, but either way it changed things. Not overnight, but genuinely. 

If you’re ready to explore what that could look like for you, here’s where we start. 

  • One-to-one coaching for women who are ready to stop going through the motions and start building a life that actually fits. 

  • Occasionally I run workshops and group sessions — on values, self-compassion, and other themes close to the heart of this work. They’re a good way to dip a toe in, or to go deeper alongside others who get it. 

  • Drawing on 20 years of HR experience, systemic team coaching and ACT-based methodology, I offer workshops, lunch-and-learn sessions and tailored programs that are practical, evidence-based and genuinely useful. 


Our Story

self-ACTivate is you and me, and countless others who’ve found themselves at a crossroads — through chronic illness, loss, or the quiet crisis of not recognising your own life anymore.

Many of us have been there. I have.

Not ready to dive in yet?

That’s completely fine. Start small — with a free grounding exercise designed to bring you back to yourself in minutes. No commitment, no overwhelm. 

Start where you are.
