Who I help and how

I work with adults who have found it hard to cope with a particular life situation on their own. Relationships and communication. People come to me when things get difficult in relationships and communication with others. When you can't seem to agree on anything. When resentment builds up and conversations end in conflict. When it's unclear whether to stay or leave. When you want to understand why you feel lonely next to your partner, or why you're drawn to someone you can't actually be with. When there's tension in communication at work, with colleagues, a manager, or a team. We work out what's really going on, where the contact breaks down, and what you can change in the way you build relationships with people and with your partner. Fulfilment, work and money. When you want to bring projects to life and earn through your own business, you have ideas and goals, but you notice you're holding yourself back - it's hard to start, hard to see things through, there's a sense of being stuck, confused, unable to decide, no confidence to put yourself or your services out there. Or the opposite - you work too much, carry everything yourself, burn out, feel exhausted, impostor syndrome. We work out when and how you hold yourself back or push yourself too hard, why it happens, and how you can move towards results effectively. Confidence and inner paralysis. When you're full of doubts, lacking confidence, when it's hard to work out what you actually want, when there's a feeling of "chaos" or being "stuck". Too many thoughts and the feeling of "going round in circles". When you feel scared and anxious. It's hard to decide. A feeling that there's no way out of this dead end. I help untangle the inner chaos, see how self-doubt gets triggered, and help you regain control, clear thinking, courage and the ability to act.

How the work goes

There are two formats - individual consultations and ongoing support. Individual work - a 60-minute session. Online. This can be a one-off meeting, if you want specific recommendations and a professional outside perspective. Or a series of consultations, if the situation calls for deeper work and change. In the first consultation, we work out what we'll be focusing on, what outcome you want, and which format suits you. Ongoing support - from three months. This format suits you when you have a specific goal you want to reach, or a project or idea you want to bring to life. We work towards the goal together, dealing with situations and mechanisms as they come up in the process. We explore the causes of what's holding you back, and you learn to act differently, effectively for you. Ongoing support includes our consultations and our shared chat. How to start: message me and briefly describe your situation. We get to know each other through messages or a 15-minute call and work out how and in what way I can be useful to you. After that, we choose the format of work and agree on terms.
