1:1 Coaching for Follow-Through and Change

We work with what you think, what you feel – and with the context in which your behaviour makes sense. Depending on your topic: in conversation, with inner images, shifts of perspective, movement or body-oriented exercises.

When you know it – and still nothing happens

Most people who come to me don’t have a knowledge problem. They know which decision is pending. They know which conversation they would need to have. They know which habit would do them good. And yet the step stays undone – week after week.

Typical concerns we work with:

  • A decision you’ve been turning over for months – a job change, a move, your own path, a separation or a fresh start.
  • Procrastinating and ruminating, even though the plan has long been in place.
  • Boundaries you feel but don’t voice – at work, in the family, in your relationship.
  • A habit you’ve already started “from Monday” ten times.
  • The feeling of hanging between two options and not really choosing either.

Maybe it isn’t more discipline that you’re missing. Maybe something in you first needs different conditions before movement becomes possible.

Way of working

How we work

Understanding what’s holding you back

We don’t just look at what you should do. We find out what has kept you from doing it so far. That includes your thoughts and inner sentences, the voices in you that contradict each other – and the context in which your hesitation has made sense until now. Usually there is a good reason why a part of you isn’t setting off yet. We take that reason seriously instead of overruling it.

Feel first, then decide

Not just talking about change, but noticing what your body is feeding back to you: posture, breath, inner reactions. We test your options with mind and body – how does the yes feel, how does the no? In doing so we work with inner images, with shifts of perspective, with resources you’ve long had, and with the inner parts that are currently pulling in different directions. When it fits, also while walking or outdoors.

From the conversation into your everyday life

Every session ends with a step that is small enough for you to take – and big enough to change something. With a date. Next time we look at what happened: What worked, what still needs different conditions? That is how insight becomes experience – and experience can become action.

Methods

What I work with

Methods are tools, not promises. Which ones we use depends on your topic – and on what suits you.

  • Systemic questions and inner parts – Which sides of you want what? And what has your hesitation been good for so far?
  • Body-oriented exercises – Awareness, posture, breath: what the body feeds back is often more honest than the head.
  • NLP – Perception, language, reframing, resources: how you think and talk about your topic changes what becomes possible.
  • Hypnosystemic perspective – currently in training: taking the part of you that hesitates seriously and finding out what it needs.
  • Coaching in motion – while walking, outdoors, if you like. Some things are easier to move when we move ourselves.
Limits of my work: Coaching is not psychotherapy and not medical treatment. If I notice that a topic belongs in medical or therapeutic hands, I’ll say so openly and recommend suitable places to turn to. In acute crises, the Telefonseelsorge helpline (Germany) is available around the clock: 0800 111 0 111.

The framework

Some concerns resolve in a single session. Others take several weeks, in which you try things out between appointments and we readjust. What you need, we decide together – afresh after every session. You book individually, without a package and without commitment. Online or in Bochum and the surrounding area.

Coaching is a self-pay service, not covered by health insurance.

90 € for 60 minutes

Booked individually. Free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance. For companies, I put together an individual offer.

First we get to know each other – 30 minutes, free and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

How long is a session?

A session lasts 60 minutes. That’s enough time to really look at a topic without it fraying at the edges.

How many sessions will I need?

We decide that together. Some concerns resolve in a single session, others take several weeks. You book each session individually – no package, no commitment.

Can I try it out with no obligation?

Yes. The intro call takes 30 minutes, is free and comes with no obligation – online or by phone. Afterwards you can take your time to decide.

Where does the coaching take place?

Online via Zoom or by phone – or in person in Bochum and the surrounding area. We’ll discuss the right place in the intro call.

Does coaching work online too?

Yes. Body awareness, inner images and shifts of perspective work well on screen too. All you need is a quiet place where no one will disturb you for an hour.

Is this therapy?

No. Coaching is not psychotherapy and doesn’t replace treatment for mental illness. We work on goals, decisions and steps. If I notice that a topic belongs in therapeutic hands, I’ll say so openly.

Do I already need to be able to name my topic precisely?

No. “Something isn’t right, and I’m not getting anywhere” is more than enough. Naming it is often already part of the work.

Which languages do you work in?

German, English and Bulgarian.

How confidential is the coaching?

Completely. What you tell me stays between us. I don’t keep files on what you share and don’t pass anything on to third parties.

What if I have to cancel an appointment?

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance. After that I charge for the session, because I’ve kept the time free for you.

What clients say.

★★★★★

Effective and different — and at the same time hugely solution-accelerating and exceptionally empathetic. On the Action Day I broke through patterns that had been with me for years — and went home with concrete steps.

— Markus C.Sales · Bochum · Action Day (translated from German)
★★★★★

I spent months debating in my head. After the Action Day, the decision was made — and the first steps were in the calendar. What thrilled me was how quickly my thought loops turned into real action.

You don’t need to know which coaching you need, and you don’t have to explain your topic perfectly.
