Yes, and they work well together. Therapy works with your past to understand the present. Coaching works with where you are now and what you want next. They don’t compete, and many of my clients do both at once. If you’re in therapy now, coaching can simply run alongside it.
A relaxed 30-minute talk. Free, online, and nothing to prepare. You talk, I listen and ask a few powerful questions. Most people leave clearer than they arrived, able to put the thing they’ve been circling into one sentence. By the end, we both know if it’s a fit. The loop you keep turning over rarely loosens on its own, and thirty minutes is usually enough to start seeing it differently.
Then you’re in good company. Most people arrive with a feeling, not a topic. That’s what the first conversation and the discovery session are for: finding the real subject together. Not knowing yet is a fine place to start.
It’s a fair thing to wonder, and the honest answer is that coaching isn’t a gamble. It’s a real method with research behind it, studied properly and shown to help, and it works best when the fit between us is right. That fit is the first thing we look at together, which is exactly what the first conversation is for: thirty minutes, free, nothing to prepare. By the end, we both have a clear read on whether this is right for you, so you decide from a real conversation with a clear sense of what you’re saying yes to.
My one program, and the only way I work. Between Chapters runs nine sessions across three months, built around you rather than a fixed curriculum. It opens with a 90-minute discovery session to map where you are and what you actually want, then eight 60-minute sessions. Between sessions you can reach me directly, on WhatsApp or email. It holds everything I’ve learned over the years, shaped to the person in front of me. No packages, no tiers and no upsells. One piece of work, done properly, so the change reaches your real life instead of fading after a few weeks.
Overthinking and decision fatigue. Perfectionism and people-pleasing. Low motivation, mental noise, feeling constantly busy and still unfulfilled. Boundaries that keep slipping. Imposter feelings. Energy that drains away, and you can’t say where it goes. Direction: what the next chapter is, and how work and life can feel aligned again. And if your topic isn’t on this list, bring it anyway.
Mostly tech, SaaS, and Customer Success professionals, roughly 28 to 42, all over the world. People who look fine on paper and feel off inside. I focus on those fields because I know that world from the inside, so I understand the context right away. The coaching itself isn’t tied to an industry, though. When the real subject isn’t the job or the career, I work with people from all kinds of backgrounds, and my training is built for exactly that. I work with both men and women. What matters is whether the pattern sounds like yours.
You are welcome here, whoever you are and whatever you do. Most of my clients happen to come from tech and Customer Success, because I worked in that world for a few years myself, so that is naturally where a lot of people find me. What actually interests me is the person in front of me, what they bring, and how I can help best, more than any job title. Feeling fine on the outside while something is off underneath shows up in all kinds of lives. So if that is you, whatever your background, a first conversation is an easy place to start.
Coaching works when you’re ready to look at what’s really going on and work on it, not just talk about it. If what you’re after is quick tactics or a ready-made plan, I’m probably not your coach, and I’ll say so honestly on the call. Some accountability is part of it, setting a goal and having me follow up. What I don’t run is a setup where ticking off tasks becomes the whole point. And if you’re in a mental health crisis, coaching isn’t the first step. Therapy or a doctor comes first, and coaching can sit alongside that once you’re on steadier ground.
Neither. And the difference matters, especially if part of you thinks the fix is a new job.
Career coaching mostly works on the symptom. It helps you land the next role, fast, and that’s the right tool when what you want is more money or a different title. Useful work. It tends to fix the surface, though, and leave the cause running underneath.
What I work on is why the role stopped feeling right in the first place, and why that keeps happening no matter where you go. Some people I work with realize they’d rather stay and reshape the job they already have. Others leave and find something that fits better. A few step out of corporate altogether and build their own thing. I don’t steer you toward any of them. I’m the thinking partner beside you while you find the direction, and the choice that’s actually yours. No CV reviews, no interview prep. That part really is career coaching, and it isn’t what I do.
Advice is a different thing again. The moment a coach tells you what to do, that’s mentoring or consulting, and it comes filtered through their life and their patterns, not yours. What’s right for me could be wrong for you, and the reverse. So I won’t hand you my answers. The one that holds is the one you reach yourself, because you’re the one who has to live it. Nobody is coming to save you. You also don’t need saving, nothing about you is broken. What you need is a clearer look at your own situation, and someone on your side while you get there.
It’s the coaching method I trained in, and it’s why this goes deeper than advice or a pep talk. Co-Active works with the whole person. On one side, the practical part: your goals, the choices you’re weighing, the direction you want. On the other, the deeper part: your values, and how you actually feel about it.
The method goes back to 1992, created by some of the people who built coaching into a real profession. The institute behind it (CTI) was among the first to be accredited by the International Coaching Federation, and it’s widely considered the gold standard of coach training.
What sets it apart is where it starts. It begins from the idea that you’re already creative, resourceful, and whole. Nothing about you is broken, and nothing needs fixing. So I don’t hand you answers or a fixed plan. I ask the questions that draw your own answers out of you, the ones that are hard to reach on your own.
This is the serious, trained version of coaching. The opposite of the quick-fix life-coach content that fills your feed.
This is a different kind of conversation. Your partner, your friends, your family, they love you, and that love comes with a stake in the answer. Their hopes for you, sometimes their worries, shape what they tell you. A lot of what we call advice is really someone handing you their perspective, and it doesn’t always fit your life.
I don’t have that stake. I’m neutral, outside the story, trained to ask instead of tell. With me you can say the messy, unfinished version, the one you’d never risk with someone whose opinion of you matters. No shame, no judgment, and no feelings to manage but your own. We look at it together, and no relationship is on the line while you do. This is your space, and the only side I take is yours.
Yes. What you share stays between us, except where I’m required by law to disclose it, or where there’s a serious risk of harm. I hold to the ICF Code of Ethics, the International Coaching Federation’s standard and the highest ethical bar in the profession, and confidentiality is central to it. That’s part of what makes this a place where you can finally say the real thing out loud.
We meet on video, wherever you are in the world, in English. Once you book, you’ll get an automatic confirmation email with the link to join. No app to install, no account to create, for the booking or the call itself. From your side, the one thing that helps is a spot where you won’t be interrupted for the session, plus headphones if there’s noise around you. Most people find it easier to talk about real things from their own space anyway.
You won’t find a price on the site, and that’s on purpose. I take on a few clients at a time and I’m selective about the fit, so I’d rather you weigh this from a real conversation than from a number on a page. We start with a first conversation. If it’s a fit on both sides, we go through the cost together, in full, before you decide anything.
Often, yes. Many of my clients get their employer to cover coaching through a professional development budget. Worth checking before our first call. I’m happy to share a proposal and an email template you can use to send the request.
