When a client is struggling to stay on track, I believe it’s essential to go beyond just providing accountability and explore the deeper reasons behind their challenges. My approach involves a combination of empathy, strategic questioning, and problem-solving to identify and address the root causes of the setback.
1. Identifying Limiting Beliefs: One of the first things I explore is whether the client is facing any limiting beliefs that might be holding them back. These could be thoughts or assumptions that create self-doubt, fear, or a sense of inadequacy. By bringing these beliefs to the surface, we can challenge and reframe them, allowing the client to overcome mental barriers and move forward with confidence.

2. Clarifying Goals: Sometimes, a client struggles because their goals are not clearly defined or aligned with their true values and desires. In these cases, I work with the client to revisit and refine their goals, ensuring they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). This clarity often provides the motivation needed to get back on track and maintain progress.

3. Addressing Unhealthy Habits: Unhealthy habits can also be a significant factor in a client’s struggle to stay on course. Whether it’s poor time management, procrastination, or a lack of self-care, these habits can derail even the most determined individuals. I help clients identify and replace these habits with healthier ones, creating routines and practices that support their goals and overall well-being.

4. Providing Support and Encouragement: Throughout this process, I provide ongoing support and encouragement. Setbacks are a natural part of any growth journey, and it’s important for clients to feel supported rather than judged. I work to create a safe space where clients can express their frustrations and challenges, knowing that I am there to help them navigate these difficulties.

5. Reassessing and Adjusting Strategies: Finally, I regularly reassess our strategies and make adjustments as needed. If a particular approach isn’t working, we explore alternatives and adapt the plan to better suit the client’s current situation. This flexibility ensures that we remain focused on progress, even when setbacks occur.

By addressing the underlying causes—whether they be limiting beliefs, unclear goals, or unhealthy habits—I help clients not only get back on track but also build the resilience and self-awareness needed to sustain their progress in the long term.

Certainly. There was a time when I was working with a client who was consistently struggling to follow through on their commitments. Despite setting clear goals and action steps during our sessions, they often found themselves unable to complete tasks or make the progress we had planned.

1. Understanding the Root Cause: The first step I took was to have an open and honest conversation with the client to understand why they were having difficulty following through. We explored whether there were underlying factors contributing to this issue, such as limiting beliefs, unclear goals, or external pressures. Through this discussion, it became clear that the client was feeling overwhelmed by the scale of their commitments and was struggling with time management.

2. Reassessing the Support Needed: Based on our conversation, we agreed to reassess the level of support that would be most beneficial for the client. We determined that they needed more frequent check-ins and smaller, more manageable action steps to help them build momentum and regain confidence. We also clarified the client’s priorities, ensuring that their goals were aligned with their current capabilities and circumstances.

3. Adjusting the Approach: With this new understanding, we adjusted our approach. Instead of setting large, ambitious goals, we focused on breaking down tasks into smaller, achievable steps. I provided additional support through mid-week check-ins, where we would briefly touch base to review progress and address any obstacles that had arisen. This more hands-on approach helped the client stay accountable and feel supported without becoming overwhelmed.

4. Outcome: Over time, the client began to follow through on their commitments more consistently. By focusing on smaller, incremental progress and maintaining regular communication, they regained their sense of control and motivation. Eventually, they were able to achieve the larger goals we had initially set out to accomplish, and they reported feeling more confident in their ability to manage their commitments effectively.

5. Reflection: This experience reinforced the importance of tailoring the level of support to the client’s needs. Coaching isn’t a one-size-fits-all process; it requires flexibility and a willingness to adjust strategies based on what will help the client succeed. By working together to find the right balance of support, we were able to overcome the initial challenges and achieve meaningful progress.

I offer coaching sessions exclusively in a virtual format, which allows for greater flexibility and convenience for my clients. Being based in Central European Time (CET) and a native English speaker, I am well-positioned to work with clients across various time zones.
Availability and Flexibility: I am available for coaching sessions during both daytime and evening hours, depending on what works best for your schedule. I understand that my clients often have busy and varied schedules, so I strive to be as flexible as possible to accommodate their needs. We can arrange sessions at times that align with your commitments, whether it’s during the day or later in the evening.

Virtual Sessions: All of my coaching sessions are conducted virtually, which provides the flexibility to connect from wherever you are. This setup not only offers convenience but also allows us to maintain consistent communication, regardless of geographical location.

I’m committed to ensuring that our sessions are scheduled in a way that supports your goals and fits seamlessly into your routine. Let’s find the times that work best for you and get started on achieving your objectives together.

I work on a monthy retainer rather than a per-session fee.

Rates range from 150€ to 1000€ with most clients paying around 500€. I am open to discussion around rates depending on your financial situation. I also maintain pro-bono clients as appropriate.

The deal is to finish the coaching contract whenever you are ready to do so. There is no upfront investment and work from month to month.
