Coaching for Individuals

Resource & goal-orientated support for self-help

Change is ever present and can quickly become overwhelming. Coaching can help to regain an overview and create clarity in such situations. Gaining the ability to act and make decisions enables a renewed sense of satisfaction. Shifting your perspective can help you to constructively scrutinise the circumstances and align your own self-image to support you in achieving your own goals and wishes.

Coaching provides the impetus to enhance awareness. It is resource and solution-orientated support for people at times of development. As an experienced coach, it is my mission to facilitate people in change processes, to identify any sticking points or blocks and to develop strategies and solutions together. Coaching supports you in empowering yourself to master any future challenges more independently and effectively, all in the spirit of helping people to help themselves.

Added Value

Coaching is useful for individuals who:

  • find themselves at a crossroads in their lives, e.g. when dealing with welcome or unexpected changes in preparation for a new role in new circumstances, etc.
  • would like a specific relationship behaviour to be reflected, e.g. to solve problems or conflicts, when there is a lack of perspective, to develop potential or to activate personal responsibility.
  • are being put to the test, e.g. a lack of work-life balance or burnout is a concern or a conflict between work and family, etc.
  • are interested in professional reorientation, career assessment or career counselling including interview training.
  • would like to overcome obstructive beliefs such as ‘I'm not good enough!

What is offered:

  • An experienced partner at your side to support and guide you to define and implement your private or professional aspirations in order to achieve the jointly developed steps.
  • Someone who will help you to implement your plans by means of identified measures, including on-the-job coaching.
  • Access to practical coaching methods, tools and resources that help you to uncover issues and achieve a higher level of self-awareness.
  • The choice of coaching in Swiss German, German, English or Italian, face-to-face or online.
     
Openness and Trust

The relationship between you and myself as your coach forms the basis for successful coaching. It needs to be characterised by trust and openness, a non-judgemental approach and mutual respect. At the same time, as a coach, I always acknowledge your unique qualities, strengths and weaknesses, competences and limitations.

I have a broad repertoire of personal and methodological skills that can be applied when working with you. Maintaining confidentiality and discretion are important principles for me.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a process that accesses our inner world via the subconscious – the place where positive experiences, impressions, feelings and beliefs are stored, as well as any that make our lives more difficult.
Hypnotherapy always begins with an in-depth initial consultation in which we identify issues, wishes and goals. Then, under my guidance, a state of deep relaxation called a trance takes you into your subconscious. Once there, a dialogue is established with your inner world and targeted methods are used to resolve any physical or psychological issues.

Essentially, everybody able to relax can be hypnotised. In fact, all of us are familiar with the state of trance involved when falling asleep or waking up, as at this moment we still have some awareness of what surrounds us but have already stepped, or are still in the realm of dreams. In this state, our body and our rational mind are relaxed, but our subconscious and the areas of the brain connected to it are more active. Hypnosis is also very beneficial for children and adolescents.

In order to be successful, the client must be willing to co-operate and be prepared to enter into the change process.

IMPORTANT: Should you be receiving psychological or psychiatric services, it is important for me to be informed of this. No analytical hypnotherapy can be conducted without the consent of the relevant psychotherapist/psychiatrist. Understandably, it is not possible for hypnotherapy to guarantee direct improvement or holistic healing in relation to medical/psychiatric condition Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy method that can be used alongside both medicines and psychotherapy and is not intended to replace medical or psychotherapeutic consultations or care. I cooperate proactively with medical/psychiatric/psychotherapeutic professionals.

Testimonials

Fear of heights.... a fear that paralyses and takes the joy out of hiking....

However, a hypnosis session with Elena along with a bit of practice.... and then the overhanging platform and the steep path are suddenly no longer an issue. As if it had never been any different, I can now experience and enjoy the most beautiful hikes.

Elena, you have given me quality of life back and I am immensely grateful to you.

I have twice been amazed at the wonderful results that can be achieved with just one hypnotherapy session with Elena, whether with children or adults.

With my son, Elena was able to release a deep-seated fear of needles (vaccinations) with her calm and loving manner. My son felt safe and secure. In the three years since the treatment, my son is still free of this fear.

Another person very dear to me experienced very similar results. The session helped to alleviate long-standing fears and worries and gave noticeable relief. It is impressive how Elena was able to achieve so much positive change with just one session. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I was able to face my biggest fear thanks to Elena. Following very painful dermatological surgery, which was part of treatment for cancer, I was then facing a second operation. I was scared to death, crying at nothing, I felt lost, had brain fog and was totally disoriented. I felt dizzy and my body was suffering. I was scared of fainting and thought I would not be able to go through with it.

The hypnotherapy session before the planned treatment gave me the courage and trust to have the second operation – in just one session. I am so thankful for her work, which saved my life.
