About us
Hi, I’m Najette. I support people who overthink, people-please or talk themselves out of what they want. I help you feel clearer and calmer, build self-trust and take courageous steps towards what matters to you.
My approach is calm, grounded, encouraging and gently challenging.
You may recognise yourself if:
- you know what you want to say until other people are listening, then begin rehearsing, softening or second-guessing yourself
- you hear your own “no”, but find yourself saying yes because it feels easier to keep everybody else happy
- you have talked yourself out of an opportunity you genuinely wanted, then replayed it afterwards and wished you had said yes
- you are often the person supporting and encouraging everybody else, but find it harder to say what you want or ask for support yourself
- you want to be seen, heard or recognised, but part of you also wants to hide when the opportunity arrives
- you find yourself replaying memories or decisions connected to self-worth, identity or belonging
- you know there is more you want for yourself, but something keeps getting noisy just before you take the step
What coaching with me can look like
- I offer you space to pause, think, feel heard and understand yourself with more compassion.
- First, I help you spot the beliefs and patterns behind your overthinking, so that you can stop talking yourself out of what you want.
- Then, we map where you want to speak up or step forward, so that you know exactly what your next brave step is.
- Finally, we practise that step in real life, so that you can take action before everything feels perfect.
The work is about understanding what may be behind the urge to hold back, rather than judging yourself for it, so trusting your own voice, letting your wants count and taking up space can begin to feel more natural.
Changes that begin in one area of life can also ripple into others - how you navigate work or study, relationships, requests, opportunities, change, adversity and the way you speak to yourself.
A little about my own journey
My life has seen a great deal of change throughout the years, including losing my late husband Bobby, raising our two wonderful children as a solo parent, supporting them and myself through our grief journeys, redundancy, career change, return to work, deep healing and starting again. Those experiences have shaped the woman, mother and coach I am today. So when I talk about resilience, identity shifts, people-pleasing, self-worth, belonging, overthinking or finding the courage to take the next step, I am not speaking from theory alone. I get it because I have been there too!
I also know how valuable it can be to have somewhere to pause, say what is really on your mind, feel heard and be encouraged towards what's important next. I continue to invest in my own coaching, mentoring, learning and professional development too.
So whether your experience is similar to mine or completely different, you are welcome here. I offer a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental space for people from all backgrounds, identities and life experiences. My role is not to tell you who to become. It is to help you feel heard, understand what may be getting in the way, reconnect with your own resources and move forward in a way that feels true to you.
You’re not alone. Let your light shine.

Best wishes, Najette 🦋✨
