My Coaching Methodology

Learn more about the scientifically proven benefits of coaching and discover how my method can help you feel better with yourself and find what’s missing.

My methodology: Coaching backed by neuroscience, designed for meaningful change

As an Erickson Certified Professional Coach (ECPC) and an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) accredited by the International Coaching Federation, I use a solution-focused coaching methodology rooted in neuroscientific principles.

This proven approach empowers you to stop feeling stuck and frustrated by shifting the focus to actionable solutions. Together we’ll clarify your goals, uncover your strengths, and create a clear, step-by-step plan to achieve meaningful results.

With nearly a decade of experience as a recruiter for companies like Booking.com, TomTom, and Atlassian, combined with advanced Erickson training and mentorship from industry veterans, I’ve helped countless professionals refine their CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and interviewing skills.

I specialize in guiding expats and professionals toward the right career path, helping them uncover their unique potential and navigate big transitions with confidence.

Curious about how coaching can actually change your brain? Science backs it up! Scroll down to explore an intriguing study on the link between coaching, creativity, and problem-solving.

Research on the Effectiveness of Coaching

A Spanish study, “Right Cortical Activation During Generation of Creative Insights: An Electroencephalographic Study of Coaching”*, explored how coaching impacts the brain during problem-solving and goal achievement. It compared three approaches:

  1. Rumination: Solving a problem on your own by repeatedly thinking it over.

  2. Directive Coaching: The coach provides instructions, advice, or solutions.

  3. Non-Directive Coaching (NDC): You lead the conversation and choose the topics. The coach helps you reflect, think creatively, and find solutions using your skills, offering support without steering.

The results showed that non-directive coaching sparked more creative ideas and insights. Brain scans revealed significant changes in certain frequencies during NDC sessions, highlighting its power in enhancing creativity and problem-solving.

My coaching style is rooted in non-directive coaching and the solution-focused approach developed by clinical psychologist Marilyn Atkinson, founder of Erickson Coaching International.
