Silja is the best of the best. She helped me so much to make sense of the difficulties and insecurities I experience, and gave me the tools I need to start making genuine improvements. Silja brings a calmness, kindness, generosity of spirit and deep human and professional insightfulness that made the whole process more effective and enjoyable than I could possibly imagine. I felt understood, listened to and supported - I can't thank her enough.

Working with Silja has been a truly transformative experience. I started the coaching journey during a period of burnout, unsure of my next career step and lacking confidence in my direction. Through her guidance, I gained clarity, rebuilt my confidence, and explored new opportunities with a fresh perspective. Her structured yet empathetic approach helped me move forward step by step, and by the end of our sessions I had a strong CV and cover letter, and even secured my first interview in a completely new sector. I’m deeply grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone seeking clarity and growth in their career.

Silja has the perfect blend of personality traits that make a great coach. She is supportive and kind, but she's not afraid to ask you the tough questions that get you thinking about your life choices. She keeps you accountable, and she always has an exercise or two in her pocket to unblock you from a dilemma. During our coaching journey, I never felt judged or rushed when it came to "doing the work," and she created a safe space for me to really explore what I want out of my career, and make meaningful decisions that I felt confident about. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Silja, and can honestly say that the impact this coaching has had on me is long-term, as I will be taking all the learnings with me, whatever may come next.
