PERSONAL COACHING

Coaching is a collaborative development process that helps you gain clarity, make conscious choices, set meaningful goals, and move forward with purpose.
A coach supports you in discovering new perspectives, overcoming obstacles, and unlocking your personal potential. The focus is on the future and on practical steps that lead to real, lasting change.

Coaching can address both personal and professional growth.

When needed — and for better results — coaching can be combined with psychological counselling.

The coach is your partner and guide, whose role is to:
– help you recognize the need or inevitability of change, set clear goals, and identify your inner motivation
– support you in moving toward your goals by using your knowledge, skills, and strengths effectively
– uncover and address the deeper — including psychological — causes of obstacles, and help you overcome them
– strengthen your self-belief, enhance self-reflection, encourage learning from experience, and support you in integrating new insights into daily life for sustainable growth and meaningful results
Coaching can be right for you if you:
– want to understand what kind of change you need in your life, define your goal, and create a clear vision
– need support to take the first steps toward your goal
– want to learn how to overcome obstacles more effectively
– are seeking meaning and want to grow through challenges
– want to better understand yourself and use your personal resources more consciously

What does the coaching process look like?
In our first session, we’ll explore your current situation and create a plan for working together. Already during this initial meeting, you may gain greater clarity about your needs, goals, and the best strategies to move forward.
If needed, we’ll agree on a longer-term coaching journey — including the number and frequency of sessions — tailored to your goals.
In my experience, there are no strict rules: for some, 1–5 sessions are enough; for others, the process unfolds over 10 sessions or more.
One session may already bring relief in a crisis or challenging situation, but more lasting change often becomes visible after 3–6 months — when you look back and see how far you’ve come.

INDIVIDUAL SUPERVISION FOR SPECIALISTS

Supervision is a form of professional support, especially important for specialists whose work is based on the human-to-human model. The purpose of supervision is to support the development of self-preservation strategies, help cope with difficult work situations and cases, and prevent professional burnout.

Supervision helps develop self-regulation skills, find effective solutions and new ways of engaging. It also enables to discover what opportunities for growth a specific situation brings for a specialist, a team or the entire organization.

Supervision is an important part of professional hygiene: it helps to maintain and develop professional effectiveness, supports mental health. In many organizations, regular supervision is mandatory for certain positions. It is carried out during working hours and is usually funded by the employer. Be sure to check with your employer whether supervision is available – this is an investment in your professional well-being and effectiveness.

Come to supervision especially if your work with people and you want to:
– find effective solutions in difficult work situations related to clients, colleagues, management
– receive emotional support
– see opportunities and the need for change  — both at the personal and systemic level — and be ready to initiate them
– better understand your professional role, its possibilities and boundaries
– identify sources of stress that reduce motivation and satisfaction from work, and learn to address with them effectively
– recognize limiting attitudes and develop the necessary professional skills
– develop sustainable strategies for self-support and burnout prevention
– consciously plan your career and professional development

What does the supervision process look like?
The key to supervision is regularity. You can come with a specific question or professional challenge, and supervision is also an opportunity to slow down and meet with yourself in order to look at the current situation together with your supervisor, assess your own emotional state and recognize problems in order to start working on them in time.

If necessary, supervision can be combined with psychological counseling and/or coaching.

GROUP SUPERVISION is designed for professionals at the same level and in the same field, who work in different organizations or teams but share similar roles and challenges. It provides a safe space to reflect on work situations, exchange experiences, and receive peer support to enhance effectiveness in their professional role.

LEADERSHIP COACHING
A coach supports leaders in both personal and professional development. Coaching helps increase self-awareness, clarify one’s leadership role, strengthen key competencies for managing people, and enhance personal impact. It also provides space to address leadership dilemmas and build influence within the organization.

Topics addressed in coaching may include:
• Team dynamics, including conflicts
• Self-management and mental well-being
• Developing leadership competencies
• Receiving feedback and professional growth
• Leadership roles and responsibilities
• Building influence and authentic leadership
• Leading and implementing change
• Career planning and decision-making

Come to coaching if you want to:
• Be more effective in leading people, enhance communication and collaboration skills, and foster engagement
• Better understand your personal influence — including blind spots, triggers, and barriers
• Remain effective under pressure, criticism, resistance, or uncertainty
• Find solutions to complex work situations
• Clarify your personal vision and motivation as a leader and align them with your organization’s goals

Coaching can be combined with psychological counselling when needed, for deeper support and better outcomes.

COLLABORATION & GROUP COACHING
Group coaching or supervision for leaders brings together managers from the same organization (e.g., middle managers) who share similar roles and challenges. It provides a space to reflect on work-related situations, share experiences, and support one another in applying what they’ve learned.

Group coaching is especially effective when the goal is to:
• Develop a unified, values-based leadership culture
• Initiate and implement organizational change
• Support leaders in fulfilling their roles and growing professionally
The best results come when group coaching takes place regularly and/or is designed as a support process during periods of organizational change, the implementation of inclusive leadership practices, or other strategic development initiatives.

TEAM COACHING AND SUPERVISION

Teams have their own identity and potential, full of creativity, wisdom and enriching diversity. Clear common values, a healthy sense of trust and connection, resolved tensions, effective communication, a developing feedback culture and a balance between work and private life keep motivation high.

Launching a new team: identity and values, goals, people and roles, trust, rules and agreements – how do we want to work together?

Restarting a functioning team: what is working well, what do we want to change? A motivating environment, renewal of goals and agreements, feedback and forward communication, communication, principles of resolving tensions, recognition and appreciation, work-life balance, implementation of changes and innovations, etc.

Supporting the team’s journey: regular check-up, how are we doing? What seems to be next? How is our mental and physical fitness? Relationships? Implementing changes and growing together. Overcoming crises, including crisis intervention.

Conflict and Tension Resolution: Coping with conflict between two or more parties in a supportive, constructive and forward-looking manner.

As a coach and supervisor, I help:
– understand what the team needs to strengthen trust and connection, to achieve/maintain a sense of psychological security
– value diversity, support inclusive and open commutation, developing feedback
– bring conflicts to the surface and deal with them with care and awareness
– celebrate achievements, map necessary changes and move towards the goal

The goal of psychological counseling can be to solve a current problem/crisis, as well as systematic structured meetings, the purpose of which is to work on eliminating psychological problems, increasing awareness, and supporting development.

The length of the meeting is 50 min/individual and 1.5 hours for families and couples.

Psychological counseling is psychological help in solving difficult life situations, an opportunity to better understand yourself and the world around you. The goal is to provide spiritual support, improve well-being, increase self-awareness, resolve crises and conflicts, support people in changes and in achieving set goals.

In the case of psychological counseling, there is a greater chance of preventing mental disorders, in case of suspicion of a clinical disorder, referral to a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.

I start from client-centered counseling, a systemic approach and process-oriented psychology, i.e. process work.

Process work was created as an approach to psychotherapy in the 1970s and 1980s when Dr. Arnold Mindell, a physicist and Jungian psychoanalyst, laid the foundation for it. Today, process work is primarily known as an ever-evolving “mindfulness practice” used in psychotherapy, personal development, coaching, leadership development, work with organizations and communities, as well as medicine and the arts. Process work has its roots in C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology, quantum physics, and Taoism. The method of process work allows you to approach the situation on three levels: facts, feelings and intuition.
Client-centered (humanistic) counseling, i.e. non-directive counseling, is based on a view of the person, which states: a person is good, reliable and constructive by nature. If you support a person, help him cope with a stressful situation, strengthen his self-belief, then he can make the right choices for himself and cope with the situation.
The systemic approach believes that people and events are closely related and mutually influenced. A systemic approach takes into account the existing problematic fact and deals with it, thereby influencing the situation and also the entire system here and now.
