Welcome to Today Matters

Do you feel tired, overwhelmed, and constantly trying to keep everything together - work, home, family, and yourself?

You’re not alone. Many of us find ourselves living on autopilot, juggling multiple responsibilities while relying on habits that offer short-term relief but leave us feeling drained, disconnected, or burnt out in the longer term.

My mission is to help people reconnect with themselves, rebuild their energy, and create sustainable wellbeing through compassionate, realistic micro-habits that fit into real life - not on top of it.

I’m Annette - a counsellor and coach based in York, UK. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or simply worn down by the pace and pressure of everyday life.

Having spent 25 years in the corporate world, I know first-hand how easy it is to put everyone and everything else first, while gradually losing touch with your own needs. That experience led me to train as a counsellor, and more recently to deepen my work through health and wellbeing coaching, exploring the connection between emotional health, habits, energy, and lifestyle.

My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and practicality. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where we can explore what’s holding you back - not to criticise or “fix” you, but to understand patterns and gently create change.

Together, we focus on building awareness, breaking unhelpful cycles, and creating small, meaningful shifts that support your energy, confidence, and sense of balance - in a way that feels manageable and sustainable.

If you’re feeling worn out, overwhelmed, or ready for something to change but you don't quite know what, I offer a free 20-minute conversation. It’s a chance for us to talk things through and explore what support might feel most helpful for you right now. 

Warm regards,
Annette
