What is Coaching Psychology?
What kind of questions come up in my coaching psychology sessions?
I focus on helping a person explore his or her own sense of ‘being in the world’ at this particularly difficult moment of their life through a set of questions:
What is the purpose of your life?
What gives your life meaning?
What does that mean for you to have freedom of choice?
Basic Assumptions I have as a Coaching Psychologist:
People have agency over their life. Personal agency refers to the choices we make in life, the paths we go down and their consequences.
People are basically good, and have an innate need to make themselves and the world better.
People are motivated to self-actualize through psychological growth, fulfillment and satisfaction in life
The subjective, conscious experiences of the individual is the most important.
Why would you want to Work with Me?
My aim is to assist people to fulfill their potential and not feel overwhelmed in their personal and working environments. My services are personalised to suit everyone’s needs, and due to my psychology, research and coaching background, I can reassure you that I will go the extra mile to provide you with all the tools you need to experience transformation in your life.
Through working with me you will…
Get a deeper self-awareness around your core needs and values.
Raise your level of psychological well-being by learning how to effectively communicate your needs, preferences, and boundaries.
Grow and enjoy greater success and
fulfilment in all areas of your life.
Explore ways to alleviate stress, cope with challenges, survive and grow from transitions, and make more empowering choices in your personal or professional life
Together as equal partners we will take inventory of who you are when you are at your best and look at who you truly want to be. What would it look like to live your life from a place of inner strength and clarity?
If appropriate, with your permission, I might include somatic interventions and psychoeducation in our session.
What clients say about my coaching
“Izabela has been my coaching psychologist for the last few months. From the very beginning she offered me a safe, calm and professional space which made me feel comfortable to start my self development journey with her.
Izabela’s enthusiasm to helping others and her experience quickly contributed to build a strong rapport between the two of us and her sessions have been of extreme support in a very busy time for me. Her impressive background and expertise, in my case especially with self-compassion, have helped me explore who I am and grow from the experience. Anyone seeking personal flourishing would be lucky to have Izabela as a coach!

“ I had sessions with Izabela bi-weekly since November 2019. Izabela is great for discovering biases and hidden limitations I put on myself, like limiting beliefs, unnecessary pessimism. Also, I have benefited a lot from her kind and structured way of establishing a coaching relationship. While I have time to explore thoughts and feelings and feel relaxed to voice insecurities, our coaching process has always supported me to go beyond that and to make decisions, decide on strategies and reflect on myself in a constructive and honest way. Izabela is very skilled in encouraging me to explore what drives me, look at my strengths, and be confident to make changes when I feel it is necessary. I also love that due to her background in mediation, she knows when I need to take an extra breath before the session starts. This has helped me to pace myself, especially when I am under stress or feel overwhelmed. ”
“I had sessions with Izabela for two months and our sessions were scheduled every two weeks from September through to November 2019. I also participated in her meditation group in March 2020 to help me better manage my emotions during the Covid-19 situation. Throughout the coaching process, Izabela showed me that she is very good at establishing non-judgemental space and has a natural way of asking insightful questions that evoked more self-reflection on my part. With her guidance, I gained more clarity about myself and became more aware of my thoughts and how these were impacting me. I managed to re-frame my self-limiting beliefs and learned positive psychology tools that I use even now when I need capitalise on my strengths. I recommend Izabela to anyone seeking a positive psychology coach on their journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.
