Welcome to Coaching for Happiness:

Reclaim Your Power,
Rewrite Your Story

Hi, I’m Angela a Positive Psychology Coach with a passion for helping people overcome trauma and build happier, more fulfilling lives. With an MSc in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, I combine scientific expertise with personal experience to empower my clients to transform self-doubt into self-belief, and pain into progress.

Why I Do What I Do

My work is deeply rooted in my own journey. I know what it’s like to feel trapped by the weight of trauma and the voice of self-criticism. Growing up in a home marred by dysfunction and abuse, I carried the burden of low self-worth for many years. But I also know that healing is possible. Through positive psychology, I found the courage to face my past, successfully prosecute my childhood abuser, and rebuild my life. I survived two abusive marriages and breast cancer—twice—but I emerged stronger, happier, and more at peace with myself. Today, I am happily married and the proud parent of two wonderful adult children.

This personal journey fuels my passion for helping others reclaim their lives, no matter what they’ve been through.

My Approach:
Blending Science with Compassion

At Coaching for Happiness, I use evidence-based positive psychology techniques to help clients unlock their potential, cultivate resilience, and develop emotional well-being. Whether you’re struggling with self-worth, navigating a life transition, or trying to heal from past trauma, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

My private coaching services are tailored to individuals seeking to:

  • Rebuild confidence and self-esteem
  • Overcome emotional scars and limiting beliefs
  • Achieve personal or professional goals
  • Develop resilience and emotional strength

I have also worked for over a decade designing and delivering targeted workshop programs for young people, improving their well-being, confidence, and life skills. These programs were commissioned by local authorities across London and Bedfordshire, creating lasting impact across many communities—including the very school I attended.

Let’s Work Together

If you’re ready to begin your journey toward a happier, more confident life, you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, develop a personalized plan, and take meaningful steps toward building the life you deserve. Your past does not define you—your resilience, growth, and future do. Let’s create that future, together.
