About You
Does this sound like you?
You are a high achiever who doesn’t settle with good but wants the best for their life and the life of others.
You have a track record of success, are eager to take action, are prepared to hear the truth and are not afraid to be challenged.
You are not looking for quick fixes, but you understand that achieving meaningful changes is a process.
It is ok if you are not clear where you want to be or not fully confident in yourself. My job is to make you gain clarity, achieve results, and make you feel good about yourself and your life, and I am very good at it.
If this sounds like you, you are in the right place.
I work with people who take responsibility for their actions and decisions and that are ready to make a big impact on their lives or others.
Who I don’t work with
- People who don’t believe that they can change
- The ‘maybe’, ‘sometime’, ‘one day’ kind of people
- Those who complain and are negative
- People who want a lot but do nothing or little
- Those who blame others for their own mistakes or actions
About Me
Transforming people’s lives is my passion, my purpose. I do it because I believe in people and their power to change their lives.
I believe in coaching because I’ve seen the profound changes in my clients and I’ve experienced it myself.
I am a qualified professional coach and coaching supervisor and I am not here to sympathize with you, I am here to give you the best coaching experience you have ever had.
I’ve worked for our family business and then in the corporate world for almost 20 years, I’ve been a trainee, a manager, a leader, an entrepreneur and I worked with people at all levels, up to the CEO level.
I’ve also had my own career changes and I have found my purpose in coaching and supervision.
Other things about me:
- I am a real Vampire from Transylvania
- I am a wife and a mother
- One of the things on my bucket list is to learn how to ride a motorbike
- The scariest things I’ve ever done was paragliding and walking on fire
- My motto is ‘keep it simple’
- I love the beach and palm trees
- I love DIY and building stuff
- I try not to take myself too seriously
- My father taught me that I can achieve everything that I set my mind to. My mother taught me to be there for my loved ones, no matter what. These are principles that I live by.
- If I could have dinner with any 10 people (outside of my current circle) I would go for: Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins, Barack Obama, Wayne Dyer, Rich Litvin, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Will Smith, Mark Twain, and Ion Luca Caragiale (Romanian writer).
Coaching
I work exclusively with people who are prepared to invest in their development and growth.
I have been working with and learning from some of the world’s top teachers, trainers, coaches. My mission is to pass on that wisdom and get high achievers to live life at their full potential and make a real impact.
We work together for between 3 months (for short-term goals) and a year; anything less is not enough to create lasting change. Your coaching package will be highly personalized to your specific goals and desires. Coaching is done via video or phone calls.
I am very proud of my clients because they have invested the time, effort, and resources to make significant changes in their lives, and it all paid off.
I work with clients on personal life goals and career or business goals.
As a result of our coaching sessions, my clients have:
- shifted their mindset
- overcame fears
- gained self-confidence
- overcame limiting beliefs
- gained work-life balance
- went from overwhelm to clarity
- gained focus
- got un-stuck
- obtained salary increases
- launched their business
- launched & grew their coaching practice
- gave up their corporate job and started their own business
- went from hating to enjoying their jobs
- achieved an overall balanced life
This opportunity will cost you more than money, and it will cost your time, energy, and commitment.
When you are ready to transform your life, schedule a call, and I will be happy to help.
The initial consultation is FREE, and it is a session where we both assess if we are a good fit for each other. I will also assess your situation and goals and explain how I work.
“Behind every fearless player is a fearless coach who refused to let them be anything but the best they can be.”
Coaching Supervision
“How do I know that I am a good coach?” is a question that keeps coming up for the coaches that I work with, together with questions like:
How do I know how effective my coaching skills are?
How do I take my coaching to the next level?
A great place to find the answer to these questions is “Coaching Supervision”.
Supervision is a safe space for you to reflect on your coaching skills and the work you do with your clients (paid or unpaid). We explore together areas that you need to improve in (including your blind spots) and your strengths.
One of the many benefits that you can experience from supervision is increased confidence in your coaching skills, which will significantly impact your results with clients.
I offer both 1:1 and Group Supervision sessions, please see below a guide to choosing the right format for you.
Here are some frequently asked questions that you might find helpful:
What is coaching supervision?
Supervision is a safe place where we partner up with you (the coach) to reflect and explore the practice, tasks, processes, challenges and achievements of your coaching work and your well-being. It is a space where the coach can gain confidence and unleash their creativity to ensure the best possible service to the coaching client.
Supervision allows the coach to:
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the coaching process.
- Monitor the relationship between the coach, the coachee and the client/organisation.
- Share and promote good practices.
- Share and value lessons learned.
- Challenge approaches and techniques in a supportive and challenging environment.
- Develop new approaches and knowledge to be more effective with coachees.
- Provides a structure to continue to develop skills and monitor progress.
- Provides a space for taking care of the coach’s emotional wellbeing.
- Consolidate high standards of ethics in the coaching process.
Who uses supervision and when?
Supervision is for coaches at all stages of their development. My supervisee’s experience varies from newly qualified coaches to coaches with 20+ years of experience.
Suppose you recognise yourself asking or reflecting on one or more of the below questions and statements. In that case, it is very likely that supervision will highly benefit your development as a coach.
- How do I know how well I coach?
- What new coaching models and tools could I use with my clients?
- How well am I contracting? How can I improve my contracting?
- How can I improve how I manage and build relationships with clients and stakeholders?
- I would like to gain clarity on my strengths and areas of development
- I have been told something that brings into question my client’s or organisation’s needs. How do I deal with this situation?
- There is a blurring of boundaries between me as the coach, client or other parts of the organisation, how do I address this?
- I sometimes wonder if I work outside the contract of my competencies.
- I had multiple rejections by prospective clients in chemistry meetings, how do I move forward with this situation?
- I sometimes feel frustrated at a lack of progress by my client.
- I have a pervasive feeling of not being good enough.
Why supervision and do I need it?
We all have the capacity to get caught up in unconscious patterns and we all have blind spots. Supervision is about developing us as professionals and helping us work more effectively and safely.
We have a great responsibility as coaches because we impact people’s lives (not only our clients but also the system that they are part of), so I think self-awareness and continuous development through reflective practice are very important.
How often should I have supervision?
The frequency is mainly dictated by you, and it partly depends on how much coaching you are doing and your experience as a coach. A rough rule of thumb is to access supervision at least every 4-6 weeks. If you have more client work, you may want to have supervision more often, though it isn’t necessary.
Supervision should be a planned activity, not sought ad hoc to deal with crises in your work, though being proactive if there is a difficult client issue to address is also important.
Should I have 1:1 or Group Supervision?
Same as in coaching, 1:1 and group supervision work have their advantages.
With 1:1 supervision, you get that special time for yourself. It goes deeper into the challenges or topics you bring to supervision. You can explore what you need and when you need it. One to One work also allows for a stronger relationship with your supervisor.
In group supervision, you can experience group processes and dynamics live, you learn from the group as well as from your own reflections. A group also increases accountability. It can also be easier to hear difficult things.
What is a typical supervision session like?
The session starts with a check-in with the supervisee. The next step is to establish the session goal/focus and desired outcome, followed by a supervisory discussion about a current coaching client(s), situation or challenge. We also explore the coach’s skill development needs and personal issues that may affect their coaching work. The sessions ends with establishing learnings, insights and commitment to future action.
Business Mentoring
Business Mentoring for Coaches
You have a big desire to help others, coaching is your passion, your purpose, BUT you probably realised that from attending or finishing a coaching training, a course or a qualification to being ready to charge clients for your services there is a gap. It is not easy to fill this gap on your own, not having the right knowledge or experience to do it.
- Are you tired of not making progress with your business and not enrolling clients?
- Do you struggle to define your niche?
- Do you find yourself procrastinating tasks because of a lack of confidence?
- Are you lost and confused about putting your knowledge into practice?
- Do you doubt your abilities to make your coaching business work?
- Do you want to set a strong foundation for your coaching business?
- Would you like to improve your coaching skills further but are unsure how to do it?
- Do you want to help people but struggle to ask for money in return for your services?
- Could you use an expert to guide your way?
Then I can help you
I know exactly what you are going through as I have been there.
I know your frustrations. I know where you’re stuck.
And I know exactly how to help you move forward.
I helped coaches like you get ready to enrol their first clients confidently.
In a 12 week program, I will teach you my 3-step system in achieving your goals. This system is very simple yet effective, and you can use it with your clients as well.
I will work with you on the following things:
1. Clarity Stage
-
- Clarity on your mission and goals as a coach – we will explore in detail your ‘why’! This will be one of the most valuable steps!
- Clarity on your niche and offer – we will define or clarify (depending on the stage you are at) what problems you help people solve, who you can best serve, and how.
2. Planning & Confidence Booster Stage
-
- I will help you create a simple and effective step by step plan to get you ready to serve your first client/s
- I will help you address any confidence issues or doubts that you might have around offering and marketing your services and charging clients.
- I will help you increase your confidence around knowledge in your coaching skills.
There is a long way from finishing a course to coaching and having a coaching business ready to serve clients. It can be shortened if you know the steps you need to take and have an expert who’s done it before. Having a step-by-step plan and clarity of setting up your business will be a huge confidence booster and motivator for you.
3. Taking-Action Stage
This is the stage where you will start implementing your plan. This is the exciting part where you will be laying the foundations for your business in readiness to charge and sign up clients.
We will have weekly 1-on-1 calls, and you will have specific assignments and instructions unlimited email access to me for the duration of the program.
To get results with this program, you need to be committed to taking action and going outside of your comfort zone.
This opportunity will cost you more than money, and it will cost your time, energy, and commitment.
If interested, schedule a call below, and we will chat to see if you’re the right candidate to get results. If you are, we can begin our work together this week.

You will benefit from her professionalism as a coach supervisor and ultimately connect to a wonderful human being. I fully and wholeheartedly recommend working with Andrea.”
CAMELIA G.Professional Coach“I wasn’t sure what to expect from coaching supervision but Andrea was very supportive and made me feel at ease during the session. Andrea takes the time to get to know you and find out what’s important to you before diving into the nitty-gritty. Andrea helped me to understand my strengths and values and how to align this with my coaching. I had subconsciously written off one of my strengths as a coaching niche as I believed it to be not unique enough. Andrea opened my mind to a new way of thinking around this which has created so many new options for me to explore. Very powerful what can be achieved in a 1-hour session. Thank you, Andrea.“
