Hi, I'm Vasilisa.

My coaching blends emotional intelligence, strategy and self-awareness. Together we identify what supports your growth and what gets in the way, so you can move through uncertainty, communicate and lead with more confidence, and make intentional decisions with a clear sense of purpose.

The coaching relationship is a supportive space for honest reflection, building resilience, and practising new approaches until they become habits. You leave with practical tools to navigate stress, communicate with confidence, and make decisions that align with your values.

Underneath it all is The Self-Leadership Method. People usually try to change their environment first: a new job, a new city, a new plan. But a new environment without inner change means meeting the same problem in a different place. So we start inside, in three phases:

• Uncover, from confusion to awareness: we find the real obstacle, not the one you've been trying to fix.
• Transform, from awareness to action: we turn that obstacle into forward movement.
• Integrate, from action to your own playbook: what you've learned becomes the way you lead yourself.

Over the years I've helped people navigate career transitions, build confidence, improve their workplace relationships and communicate more effectively. Clients most often describe:

• Clear direction through a career transition or a crossroads
• Stronger confidence, presence and leadership
• Calmer, more effective communication, including the difficult conversations
• Healthier workplace relationships and fewer reactive moments
• Decisions made from your values, not from fear or other people's expectations
• Work and a life that feel more fulfilling and sustainable

Above all, a greater sense of clarity and control over the direction of their career and life, and the freedom to bring their most capable and authentic selves to work.

My own search began after I moved to Poland, with a question I couldn't shake: "Why am I unhappy if everything is OK?" I had the job, the new country, the life that looked right. Something underneath didn't. A copy of Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now started me down a road that led to studying psychology, and eventually to coaching.

Since then I've held more than 3,000 one-to-one sessions, and trained as an Emotional Intelligence Coach, a High Performance Coach and an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner, with diplomas in the Psychology of Transformation and Transformational Coaching. I've lived and worked across several countries and careers, mostly in startups and my own business, so I know what it's like to keep reinventing yourself and still carry the same pattern into every new chapter.

Alongside one-to-one coaching, I deliver emotional intelligence and leadership trainings for organisations, and I co-host the Spotify podcast Synergy. People, Systems & Everything In Between.

A good place to start is the free Emotional Intelligence Scorecard, or The Real Problem if there's one thing you've been stuck on.

I write for professionals and leaders who are ready for more and keep getting pulled back to an old version of themselves. The articles help you get better at:

• Self-leadership: noticing the patterns that run you, and choosing differently.
• Emotional intelligence: understanding what you feel and responding instead of reacting.
• Inner clarity: finding what's underneath when everything looks fine but doesn't feel it.
• The art of communication: people-pleasing, feedback and the conversations you've been avoiding.
• Career & calling: what you actually want next, and allowing yourself to go after it.
