What I offer
At the core, I offer a conversation that leads to real shifts in your career and life. A real, thoughtful one, the kind where two human beings meet and create something bigger than just 1 + 1. Sometimes it turns into 3, or even 4. It's not small talk. Not advice. Not cheerleading.
You might ask: why not just talk to a friend? And yes, talk to your friends! They're important. But there's a difference. A friend has their own "agenda", their own hopes for you. They want to soothe you, cheer you up, say "It'll be okay." They might share a similar story or try to help you fix it.
A coaching conversation is something else entirely. It's about you. Only you. Not a you that needs fixing, because you're not broken. What's often needed is a pause. A refocus. A chance to hear yourself clearly and start putting things back together in a way that fits who you are now. Your stuckness. Your doubts. The quiet pain of "I don't even know what I want anymore." The thoughts that stay tangled and buried when you're always in go-mode or lost in your own head. I've spent years learning how to turn down my own ego, so you have space to think and feel in connection with someone who's fully present. Because the presence of another person creates something powerful. It stimulates your thinking. Proven by science, and felt, again and again, in the room.
I don't just sit and nod in silence. I ask: Why that? What if it's not true? What would change if you did this instead? I notice patterns, contradictions, things you might miss. I point to body cues, shifts in tone, the moment something lights up, or shuts down. I'm fully there. With you, and for you. And in that safe space, you might finally hear or see or feel something that's been quietly waiting. What you really want. What's been off, even though everything looks "fine."
I also bring a loving social pressure, so your insights don't stay stuck in theory. So you can act. Because your life is big. Bigger than just: "Stay here and suffer" or "Quit and become a barista." There are more options. Always. You probably even know which one is yours.
It might (and will) feel scary. Unfamiliar. But when you start to say, "Wait… is this really me?"- that's a beginning. A messy, curious, courageous beginning. Toward a career and a life, that actually fits.🧡🌱
About my Services
Below are the formats I offer – shaped by real questions, lived experience, and what actually helps.
We always start with a Tune-in Call.
Whether it's your first time reaching out or we haven’t spoken in a while, this is the space to… well, tune in 🎶.
✧ To see if we’re a good fit.
✧ To explore what’s really alive in your current request.
✧ To make sure I can actually support you with what you’re bringing.
From there, we choose what works best for your pace, your rhythm, and the depth you're ready for.
By default, all meetings are held online. However, if you prefer offline conversations, feel free to get in touch – we can organize that in Berlin.
Please also note the Terms & Conditions for my services.
Languages we can speak: English, Russian
Deep Dive Journey
4-Session Coaching Journey
This is the most requested format.
Ideal if you're:
✧ Feeling “fine but not fine”: something’s off, but you can’t quite name it
✧ At a crossroads — choosing between a new job, a new role, dropping everything, or staying put
✧ Stuck in a growing conflict with your manager
✧ Wondering if your job even makes sense anymore
✧ Preparing for a big shift — an upcoming promotion or a more senior role — and having doubts about yourself
What it looks like
We meet weekly and follow your thread — pulling string by string, question by question.
We explore what’s underneath the surface, connect the dots, and make space for what truly matters to you.
Often, your initial request shifts and deepens as we go.
Between sessions, don’t be surprised if your everyday choices start to shift — that’s usually a good sign.
What you walk away with:
✧ A release of inner tension — the kind you’ve been carrying without noticing
✧ A clearer sense of what’s actually going on beneath the surface noise
✧ Decisions that feel solid and truly yours (not just what you “should” do)
✧ Often, a thrill: “This is me, and I’m ready to try”
✧ A few grounded steps that match your real energy and direction
Reset & Map Out
One-off Deep Session
A one-off deep session when you don’t need a long journey — just space, presence, and focus.
Two hours to explore your situation, lay out the real facts, take inventory of your resources, spot patterns and contradictions, and define your next steps.
Ideal if you’re:
✧ Feeling overwhelmed and need to zoom out
✧ Making a big decision with clear options in mind
✧ Facing an unexpected challenge and unsure what to do next
✧ Returning after a break — burnout, illness, layoff — and need to map your next steps
✧ Not ready for a longer package, but curious to try how coaching feels with me
What it looks like
This is not a classic coaching conversation — it’s more like one of the tools we sometimes use in a longer journey.
We spend two focused hours diving into what’s happening right now.
You talk, I listen, and together we draw a map of your current landscape: real circumstances, internal signals, outer constraints.
It helps you step out of the blurry “sense” of the problem and actually see it.
We visualize, name, and connect the dots, so you can make clearer decisions.
What you walk away with:
✧ A visual map of your current situation
✧ A calmer nervous system and a sense of “okay, I see it now”
✧ Perspective: what matters most vs. what just makes noise
✧ A few honest, do-able steps that fit your context
✧ A sense of movement, even if the situation itself hasn’t changed yet
💡 Thinking about a longer journey?
If you decide to book the 4-session package within a week after this session, 100€ from this session will count toward the full price. That way, this session becomes your first step, not a separate detour.
Insight Hour
One-off Session (60 min)
A one-off session for returning clients or anyone curious to try coaching without committing to a full package.
Whether we’ve worked together before or this is your first time, this is space to reconnect, reset, and see more clearly.
Ideal if you’re:
✧ In a new situation and want to process it out loud
✧ Feeling stuck again and want to check what shifted and what stayed
✧ Facing a decision or dilemma and want a fresh mirror
✧ Simply missing the space and presence of our conversations
✧ …or just curious to try how coaching feels in a one-off format before committing to more
What it looks like
You bring what’s on your mind: a situation, a feeling, a thought spiral.
We slow down, look underneath, and name what wants to be seen.
It’s not about solving everything, but reconnecting with clarity and inner steadiness.
You walk away with:
✧ A clearer sense of what’s really going on
✧ One or two honest insights that shift your perspective
✧ A small next step that actually feels doable
✧ The reminder: “Ah, right. I’ve got this.”
💡 Thinking about a longer journey?
If you decide to book the 4-session package within a week after this session, 95€ will count toward the full price.
That way, this hour becomes your first step, not just a one-time drop-in.
