Executive & Career Transition Coach · London, UK
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.
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
Most of my clients are in a moment where something is changing — even if they can't fully name it yet.
You know something needs to change — but not exactly what or how.
You've stepped into leadership and are learning how to lead, not just deliver.
You're successful — but questioning what comes next and how you want to show up.
You are capable and ambitious — and ready to stop waiting for permission.
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
For career transitions — from the inside out. A structured coaching journey that starts with clarity and ends with a confident next move.
Before anyone touches a CV. Who are you, beneath the job titles? What do you actually want — not what you think you should want?
Build your story. CV rewrite as storytelling. LinkedIn audit. Interview preparation built from clarity — not scripts.
Prepare to hold it. Mock interviews. Showing up as the person you've decided to become.
For a specific challenge or transition moment — when you need focused thinking space over a defined period.
Examples
· Stepping into a new role
· Navigating a difficult decision
· Preparing for a transition
For leaders who want sustained thinking space — to grow with intention over six months.
Focus areas
· Leadership presence
· Decision-making under complexity
· Navigating organisational change

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.
