\n\t\t\t\tMental Health Coaching: Managing stress and developing resilience\n\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t

The WHO describes stress as the health epidemic of the 21st century. How we deal with stress has a decisive influence on whether it harms us or not. Building resilience and a mindful attitude is a method proven by many neuroscientific studies to support recovering faster after setbacks and\u00a0 dealing with challenges more calmly. On the mental, physical and systemic level, you can start to change entrenched patterns and take much better care of yourself. You will learn individual stress management techniques that can directly be implemented into your daily routines.<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t\tAn exemplary selection of questions with which international clients come to me for coaching:\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t\tFAQ’s on Coaching and Consulting\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\tGoal\n\t\t\t\t\t

Coaching is aimed at thinking about topics and issues in a neutral framework with professional support and developing alternative perspectives and options for action. The practical change work is the responsibility of the clients themselves. The coach gives impulses, asks questions and helps with structuring and finding a sustainable solution.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tLength of the coaching session\n\t\t\t\t\t

A coaching session usually lasts 1.5 – 3 hours. We discuss the timeframe at the beginning of the process, based on the topics and needs of the client.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tNumber of sessions\n\t\t\t\t\t

A coaching process usually includes 3-5 sessions for a clearly defined concern. For more complex topics, further sessions are usually needed. For example, a process can take a few weeks or even a few months. Some clients also come back sporadically and some I have been accompanying and supporting for many years.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tTime interval between sessions\n\t\t\t\t\t

The time interval is determined by the clients, I follow the respective pace. A 2-week interval is common, but you can also start with weekly appointments or choose a longer interval.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tConfidentiality\n\t\t\t\t\t

Everything we discuss remains confidential. I commit myself to data protection in accordance with the GDPR.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tCoaching location\n\t\t\t\t\t

The coaching takes place either in my coaching space at Br\u00fcsseler Platz 10, 50672 in Cologne or online via Zoom \/ MS Teams, by phone or during a walk in one of Cologne’s parks or on the Rhine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tFee per session\n\t\t\t\t\t

We will discuss the fee in the first, free phone call. On request, I will also be happy to send this information in advance by email. Coaching and advice on professional topics is tax-deductible for private individuals in Germany. <\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t\tProcess\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t\tWhat does that mean in concrete terms?\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Step 1: Get to know each other without any obligation<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

We get to know each other in a 30-minute phone call and discuss what expectations you have for the coaching and what our cooperation could look like in concrete terms. You ask all the questions that are on your mind. I am also happy to explain in more detail how I work and we discuss the conditions.Afterwards, you will take your time to consider whether I am the right person to help you to handle your topics.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Step 2: Get started<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

Once you have decided, we will arrange a first coaching appointment, either in my coaching space at Br\u00fcsseler Platz in Cologne or online via Zoom or MS Teams. For the first appointment, I estimate at least 90 minutes, so that we have enough time to clarify expectations and can already get into your topic.We discuss the length and frequency of the follow-up appointments together. My aim is to help you effectively in a solution-oriented manner. Of course, you are free to opt out of the process at any time.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Step 3: Implement<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

In the coaching sessions, we analyze your issues, activate your resources and get you into action. Outside of the sessions with me, there is always a lot going on, both unconsciously in your head and in your behavior.By deciding to seek support for an issue, you have already taken the first and most difficult step.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

What my clients say:<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As a founder and self-employed person, I am constantly under pressure – deadlines, responsibility and the many decisions I have to make have put me under an enormous amount of stress for a long time. Nikola helped me understand how stress arises in the first place and why it has been such a burden for me. That was a real eye-opener for me. What was particularly valuable was that she not only imparted theoretical knowledge, but also gave me concrete tools and applied them directly with me in the coaching sessions. This taught me to keep a clear head in stressful moments and to consciously take countermeasures. Today, I can clearly see how my stress levels have decreased. Not only do I have more energy, but I also enjoy my entrepreneurship more again. For me, the coaching was a real turning point. Thank you, Nikola – for your empathy, your knowledge and your practical support.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Finance start-up founder<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Nikola draws on scientifically sound methods and techniques and gives very pragmatic, valuable tips and recommendations that can be implemented very well and immediately in everyday (professional) life. I have come to appreciate Nikola not only as a coach and good listener, but also as a person. Any time again.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Professor at the University of Cologne<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I am incredibly grateful for the support I have received from Nikola. She has been instrumental in helping me manage and soothe my emotions during challenging times. Through her guidance, I have learned effective problem-solving strategies and have been encouraged to adopt a more positive mindset. Nikola has also introduced me to meditation and stress-relief courses and resources, which have significantly improved my overall well-being. Her compassionate and insightful approach has truly made a difference in my life. I highly recommend Nikola to anyone seeking a caring and effective coach.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yezi Z.<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Nikola’s empathetic and competent coaching left a lasting impression on me. Every session was characterized by support and encouragement, which enabled me to reorient myself in a difficult professional situation. Thank you very much, dear Nikola – I would come back anytime.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Female professor at the University of Cologne<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I found the coaching session with Nikola very pleasant and beneficial. She focussed on my specific situation and worked with me to develop possible courses of action that I can use in my everyday life. I emerge from the coaching stronger and more self-confident and would take advantage of it again at any time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cologne<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As a manager in the midst of a complex transformation process with a heavy work overload, I came to Nikola with various stress symptoms and immediately felt that I was in good hands with her and her calm, empathetic and understanding nature. She helped me to assess my situation more objectively and to identify and implement the right next steps. In times of great uncertainty, Nikola successfully supported me in finding clarity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
