My approach as a coach and consultant is fundamentally relational and informed by insights from psychology and systems thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

I work from a combination of person-centered, psychodynamic and systemic approaches. These help to look not only at visible behavior, but also underlying patterns, interactions and the context in which issues arise.
\nFor me, these perspectives are not a fixed model, but different ways of understanding what is going on. We always determine which angle is helpful in consultation, so that the approach matches the question and actually creates movement in practice.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
