Here's What Young People & Parents Say About Working With Us...

"I can't recommend Abby's coaching enough. Our family are so grateful and happy with the change she has made in our lives. The children are happier (and argue a lot less!)" - Becky R, Parent

"I love my sessions as I get to talk about my problems and Abby helps me. She makes learning fun and I look forward to my Friday session with her. I now have more confidence in lessons and feel much happier." 
- Kelsey, Student 

​"The sessions are awesome (huge smile on her face) you get to do fun activities. It has helped me understand my brain and I have become more confident in lessons. I now put my hand up in lessons and I feel better about school." - Chloe N, Student

"She makes every session fun. She gives me sheets to take home to help me in English. We talk about what I want to do when I’m older. My confidence is much better since I have been seeing Abby. I volunteer in class more by answering questions. I feel happier and I think it would be good for other children." - Jack P, Student ​

"If you are like me, I wish for you to realise it’s not just you and that change can come if you want. I fully recommend Transition and Confidence Coaching. Sometimes you just need to meet the right person to unleash all the things that are hurting you. You could just need to meet that one inspiring person that will help you gain confidence and to believe in yourself again! Abby was definitely the person for me, and she could be helpful for you!" - Victoria A, Client

Here's What Teachers & Support Staff Say About Our HappiMe Colleagues...

​" I want to thank Abby for making our students feel like they can achieve anything and providing the students with some lifelong tools that they can use in a range of different situations." – Ms Campbell, Assistant Head Teacher at Bedminster Down School

​"Abby has been working at BDS for 3 years and provides huge support to our pupils. She works with pupils covering a variety of issues; low self-esteem, bereavement, anxiety and depression to name a few. I have seen such positive results from her coaching. Pupils are clearly more confident, happy and also more engaged with their learning. Abby is always happy to go the extra mile and her bright, sunny disposition makes working with her a pleasure. Her support is invaluable to me and I would recommend her to anyone, young or old." - Ms Dickson, Head of House at Bedminster Down School

​"She's absolutely exceptional and I have already mentioned her to (school management) off my own back.  Fantastically, well done sessions and clearly a really good rapport between her and a very vulnerable student.  It'd be a real loss to not have her involved with our kids!" - Mr Wills, Head of House at Bedminster Down School

"​Abby has a wonderful manner with the children. She is positive and plans every detail of her sessions to match the child’s needs. I have seen the positive impact on one child who is in my tutor group. She is happier and speaks more during tutor sessions which I think is due to Abby’s impact on her." - Miss Wilding, English Teacher and Tutor at Bedminster Down School

Testimonials

"Jo is an amazing coach - her knowledge is fantastic and she tailors the session to your specific needs perfectly. We covered everything from work to personal life. I lacked assertiveness, confidence and communication skills and our sessions have helped massively in both work and personal life. Thanks so much Jo! x" - Lisa B 

"Jo is amazingly inspirational and she has a wealth of knowledge in self-development. Her no-nonsense yet gentle way of guiding works perfectly with me and I always leave our sessions buzzing and charged up, ready for the next challenge. She gives me invaluable advice on any problems that I bring up during our sessions and encourages me to re-evaluate my thoughts and reactions about myself and the situations I’m facing. With her help and guidance many things have already improved in my life, like my confidence, interacting with people, being more outgoing and assertive and generally much happier. I have much more clarity about myself and what I want with my life / the choices I can make; and I’m confident I will become the person I truly want to be. Thanks Jo!" - Eva W

"Jo has been mentoring me for a few months now, and I've found her wise words and proactive stance to be hugely beneficial. Since working with her, my mindset has become more positive, I'm getting more done, and I feel confident that I'm on the right track. I wholeheartedly recommend Jo as a coach."
- Maggie J

Testimonials from St Ursula's School 

I thought the meeting was really useful and we would benefit from much more of this kind of well-being training for the children and ourselves. The hosts were really engaging and I liked that we had activities to break it up.
  
I really enjoyed the staff meeting. Abby and Heidi were calm and confident presenters and their own real-life experiences added to the understanding of the session. I learnt a lot about techniques that I had only heard a little about before and will really encourage the children to use the ideas.
