The coaching
Understanding yourself better through consciously looking and feeling
Coaching that starts with you
When you have grown up with a lot of tension, emotional distance or a difficult relationship with your mother, it can continue to affect how you feel, how you respond and how you relate to others. We all develop patterns in the way we think, feel and act. Many of these patterns develop early in life and operate largely outside our awareness.
In this coaching, you learn to look at yourself with greater awareness. At what you feel, what is happening in your body and why you respond the way you do. The past cannot be changed, but you can learn to look and relate to it differently. This creates space, clarity and relief.
Mind & body
What you think, feel and do is closely connected to what is happening in your body. Thoughts, emotions, physical signals and your nervous system constantly influence one another.
By learning to listen to what is happening within you, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Understanding what is going on and feeling what is happening within you go hand in hand.
In my coaching, we work with both: insight and awareness, as well as what your body, nervous system, feelings and responses are telling you
What do you need?
When you are used to adapting or taking others into account, taking good care of yourself does not always come naturally.
Self-care is then about more than simply taking care of yourself. It begins with reconnecting with yourself: getting to know yourself better, feeling what you need and listening to what your body and inner world are telling you.
What do I need? Where is my boundary? When is something too much?
It is about paying attention to yourself in everyday life and making choices that are good for you.
Taking your place
In my coaching, I believe it is important to create space for you. When you are connected to yourself, there is also more space for the people around you.
I know the tendency to put yourself aside, to always be ‘on’ and to notice your own feelings and signals only when things have already become too much.
If you have been used to adjusting to others for a long time, your inner world may have faded into the background. In my coaching, space opens up to feel what is alive within you, discover what feels right for you and be more fully yourself.
We see more together
Precisely because many patterns are unconscious, it is not always easy to see for yourself what is holding you back or why you keep responding in the same way.
Together, we can slow down, explore and bring to light what is happening beneath the surface. I ask questions, reflect what I see and help you make connections you may not have noticed yourself.
My knowledge and experience, together with practical insights and tools, help you gain greater clarity about what is going on. You learn to understand yourself better, explore what is happening within you and your body, and practise different ways of thinking, feeling and responding.
“ What we observe in ourselves — we can change! ”
Step by step
We take the time to explore what you need and what works for you. We practise taking steps that feel right for you in everyday life.
Change happens step by step, and every step matters.
It’s not about having to perform or improve yourself, but about learning to look at yourself and what you’ve been through with more kindness and empathy.
From that space, you can feel more freedom to sense what you need and increasingly follow your own path.
