Coaching with Romy

My coaching approach invites you to fully engage in your own thinking. Our sessions are built on trust, equal partnership and presence. In my role as a coach, I ask powerful questions, challenge, and encourage you to think in new ways. 

In our sessions you take time to reflect, to become clear on what is important to you, and to observe your current situation from a new perspective. With coaching you start building confidence, gain clarity and become more motivated to take action. 

What do I mean by

… Trust
I want you to feel comfortable in sharing your thoughts with me. Listening with full attention builds this trust, as it makes you feel understood and cared about. Mutual trust and confidentiality are essential for our coaching journey. 

… Equal partnership
I practise a co-active coaching. This means that we work together as equal partners and my role is to listen. I trust you to come up with your own answers, therefore I will not be giving any advice. I focus on supporting your progress and help you clarify your thoughts. You commit to engage in your own thinking and take action to move forward.

… Presence
In normal conversations, we speak, we listen, we share experiences, and we give advice. Unfortunately, it means that sometimes we feel like we are not being "heard". In a coaching session you do the talking and thinking, and I do the listening. Being truly listened to and being given time to think are some of the things my clients find most valuable. 

… Powerful Questions
Think of me as a curious conversation partner. I will use the power of questions to help you reflect about yourself and become clearer in your own thinking. With more time to think, your mind starts to wander. I will follow you and help you to think more deeply.

  • “Before I met Romy, I was lost in an endless turmoil of unproductive thoughts. I didn’t know what direction to follow anymore. With great professionalism, Romy helped me to get the perspective I needed. Patiently she echoed and redirected my concerns. Through her coaching, she supported me to understand their meaning, and suddenly they became productive. This process made me discover what I really want and most importantly why. I finally feel at peace with my choices. Romy’s coaching shone a light on the path I want to follow. It has been a life-changing experience and I recommend it to anyone who is lost in the dark.”
