Answers to your questions
How does online coaching via Zoom work?
It is very simple. All you need is a computer, laptop or tablet with a camera and a stable internet connection. A smartphone works too, but it's a lot easier on a larger screen.
At our arranged time, you find a cosy place for yourself where you are completely undisturbed for at least one hour. It's also best to reserve some extra time after the session, so that you can integrate the work without time pressure.
In due time, before our meeting, I will send you a link that leads you directly into our private Zoom room. You can enter via your web browser, or you can download the Zoom app onto your device. It is your choice, both are very easy to use.
How many sessions will I need before I notice some change?
It frequently happens that the client needs just one session to find a solution that is both tangible and effective. This tends to occur when the issue is very present and there is that one seemingly insoluble/invisible knot to untangle.
Often, it takes more sessions, 3 to 5 maybe, in order to give your system the necessary time to integrate single steps.
And sometimes, clients want me to accompany them over a longer period of time.
I promise you one thing, though: we start immediately in the first session with focussed work and you will already experience noticeable change.

What can I expect from a coaching session with you?
Once you share with me the topic that you want to examine and ideally solve for yourself, I ask you the questions that gently guide you into your inner world. You simply answer whatever comes up for you at that moment. There is no right or wrong. Also, an "I don't know" is perfectly OK. Very often, we arrive at inner pictures (metaphors). They are very welcome and especially powerful in this work.
Sometimes, a session (or parts of it) can feel trance-like. This is because you don't gather the information from your thinking mind, but from your body, or somewhere else.
Very often, the first session already brings new insights and noticeable change on a deep level. This change automatically has ripple effects on your reality.
If you want to begin right now, I invite you to ponder the following question:
"And what would you like to have happen?"

Do you also coach people with trauma?
Yes. I work trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive. This means that we can work together on your topic without reactivating any trauma.
