About Annabella

Hey, I'm Annabella (she/her).

I'm a qualified Career Coach who helps ambitious mums who are proudly ADHD — or wonder if they might be — reclaim their identity beyond motherhood, so they can feel proud of being a working mum without drowning in the constant juggle, burnout or guilt that comes from comparing themselves to others.

I created the Lost to Lit Up coaching programme to give you what I wish I'd had when I realised that the work I was doing no longer fit who I had become through motherhood, or how my brain now worked: a better understanding of myself, my brain and my needs, so I could have the confidence to make decisions that fit my life, family and desires. You deserve to have the best of both worlds.

What clients say

I have had the pleasure of being coached by Bella for the past 6 months and am astounded at the growth and development I have made. As a busy mum of 3 returning to the commercial world I wanted to invest in myself and rediscover some lost confidence and skill sets not used for a while. I was unsure what to expect but Bella gently led me down a path of self discovery, reflection and personal growth. The sessions have been invaluable, I feel I am now on the right path to embrace my new journey. Bella is a true professional, extremely likeable and I would highly recommend exploring this journey with her.
Chloe K., Recruitment Director
When we brought Annabella on board to assist with the growth and development of one of our employees, we had high hopes for positive change. Not only did Annabella meet our expectations, but she exceeded them in every way possible. Over the course of just a few months, we witnessed a remarkable transformation in the individual undergoing coaching with Annabella. Their motivation, efficiency levels and their strategic input improved which positively influenced our entire business. What sets Annabella apart is not just her expertise in leadership and professional development, but her genuine dedication to the growth and success of each individual she works with. I highly recommend Annabella to any business seeking to cultivate a culture of growth and development within their team.
Luke A., Managing Director
My sessions with Annabella helped clear the mental fog I didn’t even realise I had. I was at the stage in my life where I was deciding whether or not to start a family; I didn’t know if I was fully committed, or how I would make it work with my career progression in marketing. Annabella is patient and very easy to speak to. She guided me through my concerns with helpful prompts and now I feel confident with my next steps.
Meagan B., Head of Growth
Annabella is non-judgmental and helped me think out the box to work out how to reach my career and life goals! I got more out of the sessions than I initially expected — forming new habits and targets that have improved my work-life balance.
Charlotte L., Marketing Lead
Annabella has an incredible ability to provide her clients with a clear and thoughtful perspective! Conversations with her feel warm, non-judgmental, and like talking to a friend who is both objective and insightful. You can always trust she’ll offer the right perspective and guidance!
