Certified Positive Psychology Life and Career Coaching

Certified Positive Psychology Life Coaching

You are feeling stuck, confused or just plain scared.
The big change is looming or is already happening.

You might feel overwhelmed.
It might feel like jumping off the cliff.

Take a deep breath. You are not alone. There are proven tools to help you navigate those uncertain times.

My name is Monika. I am a Positive Psychology life coach and consultant.

It's my passion to help others uncover their strengths and resources to navigate change
one step at a time. After five years of studying Positive Psychology and Art Therapy,
and applying what I've learned to my own life, I've started Positive Approach coaching
to help others move through transitions with more ease and grace.

I use research based Positive Psychology (an emerging branch of psychology focused
on human flourishing as opposed to illness and disease) as the backbone of my practice.

I wrap around it various creative techniques derived from Art Therapy to access
subconscious layers of your mind. It’s a powerful mix of left brain pragmatism
and right brain intuition. Because ultimately everything is interconnected.

I work with people just like you.

People who are going through a transition. Who are going through the time of unraveling.
Who are at crossroads trying to figure out the next chapter in their lives.

It doesn’t matter if you are going through divorce, geographical move, career change,
experiencing loss of some sort, or entering midlife.

I'll share with you practical tools to uncover your strengths and use them as fuel to move forward.

What can you expect? Here’s a peek into coaching process.

Neuroscientists say it takes time to build new neural pathways in your brain, and we want to make sure that the structure you built is solid enough to sustain you.

Little something about me

I’ve always been fascinated by the depths of human psyche and laws guiding human behavior. As a child I used to subject my whole family
to personality tests. At the same time I always loved art and drawing, so when I discovered art therapy (combination of art and psychology),
I just knew I stumbled upon something significant. I am equally inspired by art as I am by science.
What truly fascinates me is the intersection of science and spirituality.

I’ve had successful career in user experience and visual design field. As a designer, I’ve used my intuition to come up with creative solutions
and then my rational thinking to design within business and technical constraints. That capability informs my approach to coaching.

If there is one common thread running through my life, it’s change and adaptation. I was born and raised in Poland.
At the age of twenty one I transferred to university in Chicago, and for past eighteen years I called America my home.
In the meantime, I left difficult marriage which left me broke and broken for a while, faced serious medical challenges and overcame disability.
On the professional front, for the past several years, I’ve been working as an independent designer which requires me to jump
into new situations, rapidly pick up competencies, and pull resources to hit the ground running.

The methods and techniques I use with my clients helped me when I was going through difficult times in my life.
I am grateful to my teachers for introducing me to those wonderful tools, and I am honored to share them with you.
I must confess, when I slack off and don’t practice what I preach my life is not pretty :)
