Hi and Welcome!
I’m truly honoured that you’re here. Choosing a life coach is an important decision, and I’d love to share a bit about my journey so you can get a sense of who I am and whether I might be the right person to support you.
Today, the world is filled with life coaches, and it can be difficult to know who to trust. Coaching isn’t just about credentials—it’s about connection, experience, and the ability to truly understand and guide someone through change. My life has been shaped by deep personal growth and transformation, a passion for helping others, and over two decades of professional experience in supporting individuals and families through challenges, transitions, and transformations.
My Journey
I was born and raised behind the Iron Curtain in a communist country. As a child, I was unaware of the political realities surrounding me—I simply knew the love and warmth of my mother, a dedicated teacher who nurtured me with unconditional care. My parents separated when I was young, and while I experienced losses early on, my mother’s love and resilience gave me a strong foundation.
From an early age, I was drawn to spirituality, human psychology, and the complexities of life. I found purpose in understanding people’s struggles, their emotional worlds, and their potential for transformation. This passion led me to study theology and social work, and later, I pursued a Master’s in Project Management.
My career began as a social worker in fostering and adoption services, where I quickly realized my calling—to support individuals in finding stability, healing, and growth. This drive took me into project management, working on European Union development projects aimed at improving social services. Later, I played a key role in establishing and shaping national regulatory standards for social care as an Ofsted Inspector.
Seeking further professional growth, I moved to the UK, where I worked in child protection and fostering, advancing to senior management roles. Throughout these years, I developed deep expertise in trauma, attachment, family systems, and human behaviour.
My Path to Coaching
Even before becoming a certified coach, I had been informally coaching people for over 20 years—offering guidance, perspective, and support to those navigating life’s complexities. The feedback I received was overwhelmingly positive, with people expressing how my insights and support had transformed their lives. This inspired me pursue professional certification and dedicate myself fully to coaching.
With my background in social work, psychology, and therapeutic support, my coaching approach is deeply informed by an understanding of human behaviour, trauma, and change. I integrate evidence-based strategies with a compassionate, personalized approach—because no two people are the same, and your coaching journey should be as unique as you are.
My Expertise & Training
I have extensive training in psychological and therapeutic disciplines, including:
- Developmental Psychology, Family Psychotherapy & Psycho-Pathology
- Psychological-Sociological Fundamentals of Social Work
- Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Families
- Mental Health & Trauma Treatment
- Attachment Theory & PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy)
- Behaviour Management & Trauma-Informed Approaches
My goal as a coach is to offer you a safe, supportive, and empowering space where you can explore your challenges, unlock your potential, and create meaningful change in your life.
