Couples and Families


[rev_slider alias=”couple-and-family-en”]

My role here is the one of a mediator bridging the gap that sometimes can exist between two people, couples, and family members when direct communication has repeatedly failed between them.

As a non-judgmental partner of all involved parties, I support my clients during these coaching processes in resolving conflicts in the long term.

Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good ».

Change things today!

In all areas of life, strengthening one’s personality (personal empowerment) is the most important prerequisite on which success and failure depend.I am convinced that we are our best teacher. When the student is ready, he or she will teach himself or herself.If theyare not ready, they will not learn anything. As a coach I can accompany the teacher and the student within these learning processes and give them the support they need in order to fulfill their aspirations.

Coaching, in this sense, means nothing more than providing access and creating space for

Dissolving negative patterns, blockages, conflicts and fears.

Linking resources (which already exist in each one of us).

Forming new (your own and thus true) beliefs and goal sets.

Creating new skills or linking existing skills with one another.

The ultimate objective: the (further) development OUT OF YOURSELF emerges sustainably, and thus works in everyday life. The client will never have to ask, “what did I learn in coaching and how should I use it now?” The change happens “on its own”. You as a client have the change competence and as a coach, I have the methodical competence.

Activating your own resources is needed in order to face any change in your current life circumstances.

In principle, we humans are not bound or constrained by anything but internalized imprints and beliefs that we have adopted through others. Such beliefs are often difficult for us to identify and recognize because they are so profoundly integrated into our everyday lives, often since our early childhood. It is difficult for us to obtain the necessary distance from them to be able to identify them in the first place. This is where I come in and by mainly applying the “St. Gall Coaching Model (SCM)®” during my coaching sessions, I support my clients in looking at their “blind spots”, where they will find out what lies beneath any unwillingness and impossibility to change.

St. Gall Coaching Model (SCM) ®

Three independent scientific studies validated the “St. Gall Coaching Model (SCM)®”, in 2011, 2014 and 2017, thus clearly confirming its long-term efficacy.

Value-oriented coaching

In contrast to most coaching forms which are applied nowadays, which are goal-oriented, this is value-oriented coaching. Based on this methodology, we assume that we humans primarily want to multiply and fulfill our individual values, or try to avoid harm to our values from the outside. Therefore, goals, seen from this perspective, are only functions of our deepest values.

At various levels, always based on the value initially chosen and developed by the client in a specific context, all processes are systemically Given the fact that the entire system is included and considered within the coaching processes allows the results to be sustainable and my clients can automatically transfer what they learnt during the sessions in their everyday life.

All development-relevant elements and their relationship structures as well as dynamics are included and considered in the development process. The client learns to “look at the big picture” (system): they learn (probably for the first time), “what’s really going on,” and now understand why previous attempts to fix the problem or achieve the goal were unsuccessful.All processes follow a clearly defined structure and are solution-oriented as well as resource-oriented. This is a method that allows me to coach independently of context, because as a coach what I do is process work on the personality and identity level. This means that I will never consult and give advice at the content level.

Why the path leads through knowledge and realization

Greater knowledge and insight of ourselves enables us to free ourselves from the shackles of our own thoughts and constraints, allowing us to transcend our outer boundaries with the resources we have. Our natural talents and abilities are already anchored within us, but are often hidden just below the surface.

Winston Churchill once said, “The price of greatness is responsibility.” Once we recognize why we are dissatisfied, why we really suffer, or why we keep attracting certain (unwanted) situations and/or people over and over in our lives, we bear the responsibility of doing everything to change those undesirable situations and circumstances. Veritable insight allows us to “avoid” painful experiences and prevent them from entering our lives.

During the coaching process you will acquire a variety of new techniques and strategies that will allow you to rectify “incorrect” beliefs which most of the time are old and often deadlocked convictions.[/cq_vc_accordion_item][/cq_vc_accordion]

[cq_vc_accordion accordionstyle=”style2″ contentcolor=”#333333″ contentbg=”#ffffff” titlecolor=”#676767″ titlebg=”#ffffff” titlehovercolor=”#333333″ titlehoverbg=”#ffffff”][cq_vc_accordion_item accordiontitle=”Different techniques in the context of coaching processes”]If desired, the techniques listed below can also be integrated during the coaching processes.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

This is a model allowing you to learn the language of your mind. While “Neuro” refers to your Neurology and “Linguistic” refers to language, the “Programming” refers to the “how”: how that neural language is going to function. Integrated NLP in a coaching process is a highly effective tool for influencing our own behavior (a programmed sequence of various activities stored in our brain) through selected verbal and physical language. “Old” limiting programs and belief systems could be discarded because the crucial component of a limiting belief will be found and deactivated. Belief strategies have a certain structure and can therefore be elicited. They can be changed by conscious intervention at the deepest level of thinking. The limiting belief is changed throughout this process. This means that the old approaches are no longer appropriate and therefore new strategies have to be created. This is where the new (desired) behavior (reprinting) can and will be developed.

NLP is very efficient especially in the following areas

Enhanced and targeted communication with others both in personal relationships and in professional situations.

Self-motivation with regard to our vision, mission and goals.

Raising self-awareness through increased ability of perception.

Trance work on the basis of Milton Erickson

If you choose to include some trance work in the coaching process, please be aware that I am only working with “wake-trance”. This means that my clients are at the mental level: alert and fully awake. At the body level, they are in a deep state of relaxation. Trance work should by no means be confused with hypnosis!

Working with “wake-trances” during the coaching process allows my clients to open up to skills that are often unavailable while they are awake. Here are some examples: remediating sleep disorders, accelerating healing (e.g. following surgery), reducing or eliminating pain, increasing learning performance (including in sports), separating feelings and/or painful experiences, and much more!

Through my work in awake trance, I am able to help empower my clients to achieve an altered state of consciousness that allows them to more rapidly realize desired changes toward their set goals.[/cq_vc_accordion_item][/cq_vc_accordion]

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

 

Here I accompany couples to “look together in the same direction” … again. Together with my clients, we work on a “different” form of dialogue (echo dialogue). Away from conventional negotiation techniques, which are often suggested in traditional couple’s therapies, but which are unable to resolve the subordinate power struggle in the relationship. The focus within couple coaching is primarily on one’s own childhood: where our needs have not been satisfied and where our innermost image of a relationship has arisen. Here we first realize why we often feel defensive in our relationship, or why the feeling of being with the wrong person occurs, and/or why we do not feel heard and understood by our partner.

Within a neutral atmosphere, as your coach I will be leading both of you through structured dialogues. Within the framework of the conversations, both partners will be given the possibility to cope with their own individual short comings first. From there the ability to truly listen to the other will be honed through specific processes allowing both partners to gradually develop the willingness to adopt new patterns of behavior as a couple.

The new negotiation patterns which both of them created in a joint effort will enable the partners to unconditionally live their love and relationship (again). This allows the wounds of the past to remain where they took place … namely in the past, where they can no longer affect the relationship today.

The sessions will take place with both partners at the same time. At the request of the couples, in addition to the pair coaching (both are present here), individual coaching on the same topic can be booked.[/cq_vc_accordion_item][/cq_vc_accordion]

unknown

 

Our family is an important pillar in our lives because it gives us the feeling of security, bliss and love. Within our family, we are provided with social space for growth, development and skills. But here as well – as everywhere else – we are dealing with people. It is therefore not uncommon for different views, arguments, or even conflicts to arise within the family.

The focus of this form of coaching lies in the future. Together with my clients, I will look at different possibilities to either adapt existing models or to jointly develop new solutions that are necessary.

My role here mainly involves structuring the discussions. This enables my clients to be able to lead not only constructive but also future-oriented dialogues. The goal of this coaching is to ensure that the solutions worked out in the end are satisfying for all involved family members and of a sustainable nature.[/cq_vc_accordion_item][/cq_vc_accordion]

The first session can begin immediately following this introductory session upon request.

The number of needed sessions can vary between 3 to 8. Each session lasts about 1.5 hours.
