Coaching with Marika
Reconnect with yourself.
About You . . .
Feeling lost, stuck, or unsure of what's next?
On paper, your life might look like it's going in the right direction. But deep down, something doesn't quite feel right.
Maybe you've worked hard to build a career, followed the path you thought you were supposed to take, or spent years trying to meet other people's expectations.
Yet, you find yourself wondering: Is this really the life I want?
Does any of this sound familiar?
❅ You feel there could be more to life, but you're not quite sure what you're looking for.
❅ You've worked hard to get where you are, but you're questioning whether this is the right path for you.
❅ You feel stuck between wanting to make a change and not knowing where to begin.
❅ You sometimes struggle to make decisions because you're worried about making the wrong choice.
❅ You've spent so much time meeting expectations that you've lost touch with what you truly want.
❅ Your life might look like it's all coming together from the outside, but inside, you feel uncertain or unfulfilled.
If any of these resonate with you, you are definitely not alone, and you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.
Through coaching, I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can slow down, explore what really matters to you, and begin finding your own way forward.
Imagine being able to...
✺ Reconnect with yourself Understand your values, needs, and what truly matters to you.
✺ Find clarity in uncertainty Explore what you want from your life and career, even if you don't have all the answers yet.
✺ Build confidence in your choices Learn to trust yourself and make decisions that feel right for you.
✺ Take ownership of your life Move beyond expectations and start shaping a life that feels like your own.
✺ Move forward with purpose Turn your reflections into meaningful, realistic steps towards the future you want.
You don't need to have everything figured out to take the first step.
Sometimes, all you need is a space to explore, reflect, and discover what's possible.

What is ' Coaching ' ?
Coaching is a partnership between you and me, where we explore your inner self & your ideal future, and help you get to that place. It is an entirely safe space, where the conversation will solely be about 'you', helping you discover your values, emotions, thoughts and so much more. The focus will be on the present and the future so to support creating the life you are happy with.
As a coach, I believe that everyone can always have the answers to thier own problems, and the solutions will be more true and sustainable compared to answers gained from others.
(For example, "being told you need to do XYZ" vs "coming up with your own goals and action plans".)
This means coaching does not provide any 'quick answers to your solutions' or 'advice'. Instead, we take time together exploring your values and believes to set aligning goals and action plans.
I will be supporting this whole process, and help unlock your potential to maximise your satisfaction in life.
Differences with other methods
There are several different learning and therapeutic approaches that oftentimes get confused with coaching.
Some of the examples are: mentoring and counselling.
Below are some basic explanations on each of the services, to help you decide which is most helpful for you at this moment.
Mentoring: Usually, this is a relationship where a senior colleague who has knowledge and experience in a particular industry or role and provides advice. Compared to coaching, it is more inclined towards a 'direct' approach meaning people could receieve quick solutions to their problems, and most of the time is around a practical topic (e.g. career development). The mentee will benefit from the relationship by choosing to follow the mentor’s path toward development.
Counselling: While coaching focuses on the present and the past, councelling mainly focuses on the past and work to overcome and fix certain issues. It often targets a particular symptom or problematic situation and offers suggestions and advice for dealing with it. Another often confused service would be 'therapy', but this is a longer-term treatment that focuses more on gaining insight into chronic physical and emotional problems.
Below is a simple table to compare these different services.
