Hi, I’m Abi, the founder of The Crisis Coach. With over 15 years of experience as a mental health nurse and 10 years as a health visitor specializing in child development, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting young people and their families.

My journey started in mental health hospitals, working closely with CAMHS where I was able to see firsthand the immense challenges young people face. This experience sparked a deeper interest in understanding early years development and how the right support, early on, can make all the difference in a young person’s life.

While working in a CAMHS crisis, I saw the strain on the system, with long waiting lists and families feeling invalidated by services. This highlighted a gap—a need for more immediate, compassionate, and proactive care for young people in crisis. That’s why I created The Crisis Coach, a service designed to offer practical solutions and emotional support.



Through one-to-one coaching and family-based programs, my goal is to provide families with the tools they need to navigate crises, helping young people de-escalate, self-soothe, and feel empowered. My varied experience across healthcare has shaped The Crisis Coach to be a resource families can rely on.
