Individual coaching may be helpful if

You understand a lot — and still notice certain patterns returning.

You keep finding yourself in similar relationship dynamics

Self-criticism, shame or insecurity take up a lot of space

It is difficult to express needs, boundaries or what you really want

You feel caught between closeness and distance, pleasing and protecting yourself

You want to feel more free, authentic and at ease in your relationships

Recurring patterns

Sometimes the difficulty is not knowing what you want.

It is what happens inside when you begin moving towards it.

You notice what you want

More closeness, a clearer boundary, greater confidence, a different way of responding.

Something gets activated

Tension, self-doubt, guilt, shutting down, overthinking or an urge to adapt.

The familiar pattern takes over

You may pull away, please, become critical, lose contact with yourself or react more strongly than you intended.

We become curious about the interruption

Rather than treating the pattern as a mistake, we explore what it may be protecting and what becomes possible when there is more choice.

How I work

We begin with what matters to you now.

I do not work from a fixed programme or an idea of who you should become. Your intention gives the work direction.

Your intention guides the process

We clarify what you want for yourself, your relationships or your life and keep returning to that orientation.

We stay close to present experience

Thoughts matter, and so do emotions, bodily sensations, impulses and the ways you respond in the moment.

Patterns are approached with curiosity

The goal is not to fight parts of yourself, but to understand what they are doing and whether they are still needed in the same way today.

What may become possible

More room to respond rather than react.

There is no promise of a particular outcome. The intention is to create more awareness, connection and choice in the places that currently feel constrained.

More self-trust and inner clarity

Clearer needs and boundaries

Less automatic self-criticism

Greater ease in closeness and conflict

More freedom to express yourself authentically

Why this work matters to me

My interest in relationships began with my own relationship with myself.

Over many years of personal development and training, I became increasingly interested in the gap between understanding ourselves intellectually and actually being able to live, relate and respond differently.

That question continues to shape my work today: what helps us move from knowing into a more lived sense of freedom, connection and choice?

FAQs

Questions about individual coaching.

What can I bring to individual coaching?

You can bring recurring relationship patterns, self-criticism, difficulty with needs or boundaries, inner conflict, uncertainty during life transitions, or simply a sense that something keeps getting in the way of how you want to live and relate.

Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?

No. You can arrive with a clear intention, a specific situation or simply a sense that something feels difficult or stuck. We can clarify together what feels most important.

What is your approach?

My work is trauma-informed and primarily influenced by NARM®, systemic coaching, embodiment and nonviolent communication. The focus is on present-day experience and relational patterns rather than following a fixed programme.

Is individual coaching psychotherapy?

No. My service is coaching and does not constitute psychotherapy or medical treatment. It is not a substitute for medical, psychiatric or psychotherapeutic diagnosis or treatment.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on your situation and intention. You can begin with a single session or choose a package of three or six sessions. You do not need to decide before the clarity call.

How much does individual coaching cost?

I use an income-based sliding scale. Individual 60-minute sessions currently range from €80 to €160 per session depending on income and package size. You can see the full overview on the fees page.

Are sessions online or in person?

All individual coaching sessions currently take place online via Zoom.
