Everyone of us - unfortunately - gets into conflict situations now an then. Especially in those situations it would be extremely beneficial to all affected parties to understand each other, whereby this is the most unlikely occurrence then. Those conflicts pretty often tend to stir up and cause nothing than harm and suffer to all affected parties.

This course intends to convey an alternative, more empathetic perspective, which is fundamentally based on scientifical evidence derived from Social, Cognitive and Behavioral Psychology.
Equipped with this new knowledge the participant gets enabled to take a more sophisticated and sustainable position in conflicts. A perspective that should not only enhance the ability to reflect his/her own conflict-related behavior, but even more to understand the regarding behavior of other persons. Ultimately understanding the emotional behavior of him/herself and others can prepare to prospectively contribute in a constructive instead of destructive manner in case of conflicts.

There are times in our lives when we feel stuck, out of place, sad. Moments where we perceive that we need and want a change within our existence, because the present that we are living does not satisfy us and makes us feel uncomfortable.
So we have ideas, desires, dreams that would allow us to get away from this reality that we don't like, we can't stand it and it makes us feel unhappy, but we lack the courage to make a decision and the fear of leaving our comfort zone doesn't allow us to go beyond, where happiness awaits us.
So we end up in contexts and situations that create suffering for us, just because they became our little world, our bubble, where we feel protected and defended, but from where we want to flee the furthest away.
possible.
Situations like these that make us sad can be several: staying in toxic relationships (partners, family, friends, work); not knowing how to say no; not being able to set limits; difficulty living in the present; fear of leaving the comfort zone; inability to follow our dreams and goals; a shyness that prevents us from being ourselves.
All this and much more prevents us from achieving happiness, being the best version of ourselves and making our dreams come true.

How can we achieve all this?

Let me introduce myself, my name is Nicola, I am a certified Psychologist, Mental Coach and Emotional Coach. I strongly believe that Coaching is a very powerful tool, with which a person can be accompanied to achieve their desires and turn their objectives and goals into reality.
We all have the right to be happy; we all have the right to fulfill our dreams; We all deserve to find again the capacities and abilities that live within us, and that have remained silent since we were children, but that want to burn like a flame that wants to reach the sky.
So, we begin to transform and I have... In I want; we erase the false beliefs that do not allow us to flourish; let's put ourselves first in our lives; We do not listen to criticism or the opinions of others, but our own intuition; And last, but not least, let's love each other very, very much, because we are the most important person in our lives.
I would love to be able to accompany you on this journey of growth, and to be able to offer you a safe and protected space, where you could freely express your emotions and feelings, without feeling judged and hurt. A space where you could perceive empathy and active listening and achieve your goals and objectives, leaving aside the part of you that is not allowing it to do so and thus acquire new learning and above all get in touch with the part of your personality that from time, ask to emerge.

Because starting is already being halfway there and it is beyond fear that we can find happiness.

Being a parent is wonderful. But it's also a lot of work. Our society places high expectations and demands on parents. On social media, we mostly encounter happy, laughing children and relaxed parents who have everything under control.
Most people know that this isn't the reality. And yet, the pressure to do everything right is immense.

In my consultation, you have the opportunity to reflect on difficult family situations together, to gather new solutions that are suitable for you and your family, and to question unrealistic expectations.
