Executive & Career Transition Coach · London, UK

Lead with purpose.
Grow with confidence.

Navigate your next career or leadership move with clarity — not guesswork.

Coaching for professionals in transition — whether you're changing direction, stepping into leadership, or redefining what comes next.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need a space to think clearly.

"My lived experience does not make me a better theorist. It makes me a more honest thinking partner."

a little about me

A coach who has been where you are — and sits with you where you are now

I grew up in Romania, built my career from the ground up, and moved to the UK in 2019. Since then, I've navigated a new country, a pandemic, a first management role while five months pregnant, and motherhood — all while continuing to grow professionally.

I now bring over 15 years of experience in HR & People, from junior roles to Director level.

But coaching is not about my story.

It's about creating the space where you can think clearly about yours.

"My lived experience does not make me a better theorist. It makes me a more honest thinking partner."

Silence in a coaching conversation is not emptiness. It is the space in which a person catches up with themselves.

— on what makes coaching powerful

who I work with

You might be exactly who I had in mind

Most of my clients are in a moment where something is changing — even if they can't fully name it yet.

Professionals in career transition

You know something needs to change — but not exactly what or how.

Emerging leaders

You've stepped into leadership and are learning how to lead, not just deliver.

Senior leaders & executives

You're successful — but questioning what comes next and how you want to show up.

Women in leadership

You are capable and ambitious — and ready to stop waiting for permission.

Not sure if this is for you? Let's find out together.

what you walk away with

The conversations that change something

Clients I work with typically leave with:

A clear direction — even if they started without one

Confidence in their decisions — not second-guessing them

A stronger way to articulate their value and story

The ability to navigate change without losing themselves in it

what clients say

What clients say

I worked with Gabi when I was going through a powerful shift in my career and identity as a mother. It was so valuable to have her direction and support as I worked out the best way forward for myself and my new business.

In just a short time, I felt very seen and understood; Gabi has a brilliant way of mirroring my own experiences back to me to provide greater clarity on the situation and she pushed me to explore ideas I didn't know I had.

Our sessions always felt supportive, energising, nurturing and safe. Gabi was flexible in her approach and easy to talk to. She held space for me and didn't force anything, which led to natural and open conversations.
