About me

Hi there, I am Eleni.

I’m a Self-leadership Coach with a BA in Business Psychology and a MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, helping ambitious, kind-hearted women move beyond doubt and into careers and lives that feel authentic, fulfilling, and fully their own.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychology and a deep belief that lasting change doesn't happen by pushing harder.

It happens when you learn to understand yourself - your thoughts, your emotions, your strengths, your values - and take courageous action from that place, with clarity and alignment.

I understand how you feel. There were many times in my life when I found myself staying too long in places that didn’t serve me. Silencing my own voice. Waiting for the "perfect time" to make the changes I deeply longed for.

I know firsthand how heavy self-doubt can be - and how exhausting the idea of change can feel. How easy it is to catch yourself thinking, "Maybe I should just leave things as they are and be more grateful," even when something deep inside you knows you want - and deserve - more.

But I also know this: When you take the time to understand yourself and build a relationship with your inner world, you unlock a power that no circumstance can take away.

If you're ready to move forward with clarity, courage, and self-compassion, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Somatic coachingRecommended for those who want to use body awareness and movement to release emotional tension and promote personal growth.
Systemic coachingRecommended for those who want to improve their personal or professional relationships by understanding how they function within larger systems.

Doubt Doesn't Mean You’re Not Ready - It Means You Care. You are not alone and nothing about you needs fixing.

Self-doubt, fear of failure, uncertainty - these are natural when you're standing on the edge of something new.

They’re not signs that you’re not ready.

They’re signs that you care - and that you’re standing at the threshold of real growth.

They don’t say anything about your potential or capabilities - but your mind might try to convince you otherwise.

It tells you that if you're struggling, maybe you're not ready.

That if you're scared, maybe this isn’t meant for you.

That everyone else has it figured out - and you're somehow behind.

This kind of thinking can feel isolating. But it’s not the truth.

And yet - we’re rarely taught how our minds and emotions actually work. We don’t learn in school how to understand ourselves, or how to navigate the very human experiences that arise when we’re growing, changing, or reaching for something more.

In our work together, we change that.

We’ll explore how your thoughts and emotions are really trying to serve you (spoiler: they always serve a purpose) - how they function, where they’re rooted in, and how to work with them instead of being held back by them.

Expect evidence-based tools and approaches and an honest, compassionate partnership - someone who sees your potential and supports you as you claim it.
