ABOUT ME

A brief presentation

I used to study mathematics and computer science in high-school. I really liked it, but I always wondered what else is out there, that could be more challenging for me. Well, the answer was obvious: working with people. It gives me a rush, like nothing else does. So in 2013, I decided: "I shall study Psychology!"...so I did. I started off in Romania, and then moved to the UK. I finished my education there, meanwhile I also got a whole lot of experience volunteering and then also working in mental health. In 2019, I felt stuck again: "It cannot be that this is it. Therapy and then people can dwell on with their stories. And let's say they figure out from where all the shit came from and then?". Nothing, guys, nothing. I observed that people lack taking action. Including me. Wasn't sure what to do next, so I decided to move to the Netherlands, to take out a year and figure this out. This is when coaching really became close to me, because it is about now and next. And trainings?! They add a whole new layer to personal development knowldge.
So, NOW: I am taking a deep breath (I invite you to do the same)
NEXT: experimenting with Unfolding and aiming to do actions that may serve you
