YOU
Does this sound like you?
You're creative
You like to challenge yourself and your thinking
You have high expectations of yourself
You are successful in many areas of your life
And yet, you yearn for a deeper success
For a life that truly suits you
You want to be free of your perceived limitations
And to be more carefree?
Then you're in the right place!
THINGS THAT COULD STAND IN YOUR WAY
Perfectionism
You procrastinate
You feel trapped in the hamster wheel
You're afraid to give up what has given you security so far
You're tired of having to start over and over again with happiness
You feel like you're not living up to your full potential, but you don't exactly know what's holding you back
At work, you're a talented problem solver, but outside of work, you tend to neglect things, like taxes, relationships, your own health
ME
When someone asked me what qualifies me to work as a coach, I answered that - first of all - I have built a beautiful and happy life for myself, one that suits me perfectly. But it wasn't always like this…
Between the ages of 20 and 38, I had self-doubt and professional difficulties. I was afraid of the finiteness of life and at the same time, of life itself.
To the outside world, I appeared confident, successful, and happy, but I wasn't.
As my discomfort continued to escalate, the inevitable breakdown followed. Fortunately, I then had a revelation that shook me up and enabled me to experience the crisis as a new beginning. From that moment on, I began to take responsibility for myself and my happiness and in an intensive process I was able to overcome my problems. This profound process of transformation within me has been the initiation to guide other people on their path - self-assured and full of confidence.
Before my work as a coach, I worked for 15 years as a portrait photographer. It has always been a joy for me to work with people face to face, based on trust, mutual interest, and creativity. But after this severe crisis/at this new beginning, I changed my professional direction. I started my career as a coach. After my training with the "Order Icon" Carola Böhmig, I learned a lot in the subsequent years as a coach for order, structure, and clarity, and was able to witness the most astonishing and touching transformations in my clients and their lives. The path from chaos to order is life-changing - and remains an element in my coaching practice. Over time, I became more and more aware that I wanted to delve deeper and more comprehensively into being able to cultivate personal development and success and happiness in all their facets. To learn additional skills and tools, I then underwent my training with Prof. Dr. Manuel Tusch (IFAP), a very successful coach and coach trainer. I am very grateful to have gotten to know his positive and result-oriented systemic coaching approach. Together with my other qualifications and experiences, it forms a solid foundation for my work with my clients.
I am convinced of the positive effect and the power that coaching can have. I have seen the profound impacts it had on my clients and experienced it myself in the role of the client.

Coaching
THE BEST COACHINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE HAD THE FOLLOWING IN COMMON
I have plenty of time to develop my thoughts and to listen to myself
The coach listens patiently and attentively, without formulating premature conclusions
I am asked interested and interesting questions
My ways of thinking and beliefs are challenged and checked in various ways
The coach does not try to instruct or guide me - only when I ask
I come into contact with my own blind spots – it's sometimes painful, but that's what it's all about
I feel that the coach does not judge, but - on the contrary - provides a protected framework
I am given a lot of space in which possible insights can unfold
The coach accepts where I am at the moment and accompanies me on my journey and at my pace to my truth and solution
I specify in detail the next steps to achieve what I have clearly set as my goal
I know that my coach supports me until my goal is reached
I will do my best to be this coach for you.
Detours expand local knowledge
Detours expand local knowledge is a German saying that alludes to the possibility of getting a better overview and a better understanding of my location and situation through detours than if I took the direct route. This applies to both the outer and the inner world.
Sometimes one is simply unable to see the next step. And a lot one already knows - theoretically. One knows what is good for oneself, knows the right approach and has even already made plans. Nevertheless, theory is often not put into practice. One stands in one's own way. But how to bypass oneself? Impossible! So the solution always lies within me.
My coaching approach is about tackling a topic in a holistic and systemic way. Both mean not to look at various areas of life such as profession, family, hobbies and spirituality exclusively separately from each other, but to potentially integrate all systems of life or all roles one takes in life into the solution path. Holistic also means - if necessary - to go deep and to look at aspects that do not seem to play a role on the outside.
The expanded viewing, the probing of detours, enables a better understanding of oneself. Because before a change, it is always necessary to perceive oneself more fundamentally. One's own needs that have been buried for a long time, fundamental values that are constantly overlooked, fears that have seemingly become part of our identity, want to come to light. Coaching provides this space. In the light of self-perception, internal conflicts dissolve and blockages disappear. Buried potentials are released again and paths become easy to walk.
The practical solution then only needs a little methodological knowledge and support for a certain time and everything flows naturally.
If you feel addressed here, I offer my solution-oriented support for professional and private challenges and wishes. We work at eye level at your pace with creativity, empathy and efficiency. You are the expert for your life and the topics that concern you and I am the expert for the process and the structure.
If you want to work with me or have further questions about my working methods, feel free to send me an email.
process
I structure both my 90-minute sessions and the entire course of coaching based on the COACH - model by Rauen & Steinhübel, which divides the coaching process into five phases:
Come Together
We get to know each other, and the fit and benefit of the coaching are clarified.
Orientation
You have plenty of time to describe your situation and formulate your goals.
Analysis
This phase focuses on a detailed examination of the matter at hand, including the surrounding environment. Effective changes are initiated with the help of questions and tools.
Change
Visible changes are addressed and advanced, building on the previous phases.
Harbour
Review of goal achievement as well as the entire approach. The coaching is formally concluded while discussing the next steps for your further development.
I have found that this process has worked well across a wide range of clients and I know it can work for you.
Testimonials
Why ‘Full Circle’?
The full circle stands for several positive symbols; it is a symbol of abundance and wholeness, a symbol of perfection. And in my coaching practice, it is also a symbol for bringing things to completion. An open circle, on the other hand, is synonymous with bound energy. Bound in the action that I have started. I hang in the balance, the process has started. One could also simply call this life. But after a while, if I don't close the circles again, the open circles - the unfinished things - become a burden. They tire and unsettle me and rob me of energy, joy and peace in the present moment. To bring order, clarity and creativity into my life, I close open circles - one after the other - and only open new circles if I can close them again in a timely and thoroughly satisfying way. If I consciously bring the Full Circle "rule" into my life and follow it, my scattering and my lethargy diminish and I reach more inner stability and harmony. Serenity and satisfaction return.
