As an English and Norwegian-speaking coaching in Barcelona, I provide support for career and leadership queries, parenting, stress and resilience management. I am happy to work online or in-person.
Having lived abroad in various countries and experienced life as an expat, I understand the challenges of adapting to new cultures, learning foreign languages, and balancing career and personal life. With experience in supporting professionals through career transitions, leadership development, and personal growth, I offer coaching tailored to your specific needs.
I specialise in helping individuals navigate career challenges, leadership queries, and the demands of parenting, drawing on business psychology and practical strategies. My approach is informed by my own experiences of living in different cultures and the pressures that come with balancing work, leadership, and family. Whether you’re looking to refine your career direction, enhance your leadership skills, or manage parenting challenges, I am willing to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
If you're in Barcelona and looking for coaching support, I’d be happy to discuss how to find workable solutions for you.
My coaching is about creating a safe and supportive space where, as my client, you can discover, grow, and find your own way forward in a supportive and non-critical setting. As my client, I would help create a space where you would feel respected and understood. While I do lean on a number of evidence-based psychological models I would individualise my approach and the specific tools and techniques to meet your needs.
It is important for me that you feel we work together in a trusting environment where you can explore without judgement. By listening deeply and asking thoughtful questions, I would encourage you to confront assumptions, explore new perspectives, and uncover insights that drive meaningful growth for you.
I might ask thoughtful and sometimes challenging questions to help you see things differently and question the status quo. I would ultimately aim to support you gain clarity, review habits and mindsets to achieve the personal and professional growth that matters to you.
