I immediately liked Abby’s warm, friendly and informal approach. I found I could open up and reveal very personal issues to her. Behind that friendly approach, Abby however showed great objectivity and a keen sense of observation and listening.
Abby is very good at getting to the heart of the issue underneath layers of complexity. She asks a question and very often, the problem reveals itself. Once the problem is revealed, usually the answers follow as to the direction I wish to take. I found her method of coaching has helped me tremendously to focus on one issue at a time and hence made daunting challenges seem more surmountable.
Her generosity of spirit and her willingness to share knowledge have also expanded my awareness and given me the confidence and optimism to tackle challenges.
Altogether, I have gained a lot of confidence from Abby’s sessions, allowing me to feel more in charge of my life and to feel more optimistic about the future.

I’ve been a client with Compass Coaching for the last few months. My regular sessions with my coach Abby Lee have allowed me to see my successes and obstacles clearly and given me a new sense of focus that has produced measurable results.
To be accountable to someone who will hold me to a higher standard, whilst also being understanding of the larger context of my life has played a vital role in all that I’ve achieved over the last 6 months. I feel clearer and more focused now than ever before and I put that down to the momentum that working with Abby Lee.

Meditation
August 31, 2009
Regular meditation practice helps increase self awareness and improves clarity of mind.
It is suitable for people who want to seek greater awareness for self development and people who want to be more centered and have better clarity to handle their busy active lives.
Most people find it difficult to be disciplined enough to schedule time to do the meditation that they need on their own. Coming to a regular group ensures that regularity and helps instill the habit. Meditation in a group also allows you to experience the special group energy that may not be attained when you meditate on your own.
The meditation group at Compass Coaching is suitable for beginners. You will be guided and all you need to do is relax and enjoy the moments of stillness.

Counselling
August 31, 2009
At Compass Coaching, counselling is about facilitating individuals in their healing and growth.
For some, counselling is centered around gaining greater self awareness and accessing their inner resources to help them through a difficult period or a challenge, for others it’s about finding their personal meaning and purpose in life and their path to self actualization.
We facilitate you in your search for your own answers, by tapping into your potential. We provide a safe space for self exploration, expression and discovery with a view to finding self empowering ways to handle life challenges and reach your full potential.
It is a partnership. Together, we travel through your internal landscape. You are in control of your own journey and destination; we assist by holding up your compass while you navigate through the terrain of life.
When can people use counseling?
- When they are feeling sad or depressed or overwhelmed
- When they are facing a problem in their life or at cross roads – work or personal, wanting clarity
- When they are going through life transition and crisis, wanting support from an impartial person who would have their well being as the focal point, wanting a deeper understanding of themselves and their life situation
- When they are seeking deeper meaning and purpose of their life
- When they are ready to heal and grow
Coaching
August 31, 2009
At Compass Coaching, coaching is about facilitating change for the better.
At Compass Coaching, we help individuals move from where they are, to where they want to be. And if they don’t know where they want to be, coaching helps them gain clarity. In practical terms, we help them set goals, strategies and action plans, and achieve them.
Just like a sports coach, we keep you on track by holding you accountable and keeping you focused in a regular and supportive way. In this way, you can be the best you want to be.
We encourage everyone to live proactively instead of reactively – to find you own answers and make you own decisions. Along the way we pull you up and cheer you on too!
Who uses coaching?
Life coaching or transpersonal coaching can help anyone who wants change in their life. Some people know exactly what change they want but don’t know how to make it happen. Others feel discontent, stagnant or stuck and need help to move forward. Others may feel overwhelmed by an important decision in their career, relationship or family life. The common thread is that they are ready to change and they just want some support in making it happen.
When can people use coaching?
- When they are deciding on career change, going for a new job
- When they need clarity in one or more parts of their lives
- When they want to improve their life condition – work, personal, emotional, psychological, financial - When they are at cross roads, going through life transition or crisis
- Most of all when they want support from an impartial person who would have their wellbeing (the client’s) as the focal point
