About Me

I'm Barbara - a coach with over a decade of experience in high-pressure corporate environments, including one of the Big Four professional services firms. I know firsthand what it means to perform at the highest level, meet relentless deadlines, and navigate the emotional toll of a high-stakes career.

That experience is also what led me to make a change. The career was successful. The fulfilment wasn't there. So I went back to school, earned my Master's in Psychology, and became a member of the British Psychological Society - redirecting everything I had learned about pressure, performance and people into work that truly lights me up: helping clients understand their emotions and build lasting tools for emotional literacy and resilience.

I grew up in western Poland and have lived and worked across Kraków, Poznań, and now Amsterdam. That journey taught me something I now bring to every client: life really is like riding a bicycle - you have to keep moving to stay balanced.

What drives me is the science of emotions and the mind-body connection. When you understand how your brain and body create your emotional experience, you gain more than coping strategies - you gain genuine emotional strength and the clarity to use it.

If you're ready to build a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with yourself - and a deeper understanding of the people around you - both in and out of the workplace, I'd love to connect.
