Which chair are you looking at life from?

Maybe everything looks fine from the outside. And still, you feel something isn’t the same.For you, who says yes to everyone, except yourself.You don't want to do this for another ten years. You just don't know what instead.You don't need to know the next step. First, let's look at why you feel you need to take one.

Life, career and identity coaching for people who want to understand what they actually want, and finally shape their life around it.

LET'S START HERE

A few topics you can come to me with.

which chair are you sitting in right now?

Pick the chair that feels most familiar right now. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong. This isn't a test. It's enough to feel that something's off.

The office chairoverload, burnout, boundaries

Your calendar is full. So is your head. You're always reachable; there's always one more email, one more “just quickly”, one more favour you didn't say no to. Somewhere along the way it got blurry where your work ends and you begin. From the outside you're doing great, but on the inside you're coping less and less.

  • on Sunday evening your head is already in Monday
  • saying no is hard, especially when it comes to work
  • in the evening you still check your phone, just in case
  • you feel good about yourself when you perform
  • everything looks fine from the outside, less and less so inside

We look at where your strength goes, and where you can draw boundaries that work in real life, not just on paper. We separate how much you're worth from how much you deliver, and rethink how much room work should take up in your life. The goal isn't to cope even better. It's to not have to cope with everything.

how we work

  1. 00Free consultation30 minutes, online, no strings attached. You tell me what brought you here, I tell you how I work. We see whether there's the kind of trust worth building on.
  2. 01Setting the goalYou don't need to arrive with a ready-made goal. Together we put into words what you'd like to change, and how you'll notice that something has really started.
  3. 02Working togetherFor one specific question, 3–5 sessions are often enough; for deeper work, typically 8–12. We usually meet every 1–2 weeks, online or in Budapest.
  4. 03ClosingWe look back: where you started, what changed, what you learned about yourself, and what you're taking with you.

No ready-made packages: the process adapts to you, not the other way round. We talk about pricing in the free consultation.

Hi, I'm Fruzsi.

I'm a certified coach: I earned my qualification at Coach Akadémia, on a programme accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and I work according to the ICF Code of Ethics. I'm currently working towards the ICF ACC credential.

Before I became a coach, I burned out at one point. I found myself asking: is this really it? Is this the career ladder, the world of work? Behind the disappointment was an important realisation: this isn't enough for me, and in this form I can't find myself in it. I knew that instead of companies, I wanted to help people, directly. That's how coaching became my profession: today I work as a full-time coach, and what I'm genuinely interested in is what happens to people behind the decisions, the changes and the performance.

As for my studies and professional path, I'm a qualified economist: I did my bachelor's degree with a specialisation in management psychology, and my master's in business development. After that, I spent more than seven years working in digital transformation and service design, in large organisations. What I took with me: even situations that seem complicated can be turned into something clear that works.

As a coach, I don't tell you what to do. I ask, I help you sort things out, and I help you separate what you really want from what's expected of you. I won't tell you where to go. I'll help you hear where you would go.

frequently asked questions

What is coaching and how does it work?

Coaching is thinking together about where you are now and where you'd like to go. I don't hand you a recipe and I won't tell you what to do. I ask questions, reflect back what I hear, and help you sort out what's swirling around in you, so you leave with your own answers, not mine.

How it works: we start with a free 30-minute online consultation. If we continue, we put into words together what you'd like to change, then usually meet every 1–2 weeks. At the end we look back at what changed and what you're taking with you.

How is this different from therapy or consulting?
  • Therapy: works mainly with the past, emotional wounds and mental health difficulties. Coaching starts from the present and focuses on where you'd like to go. Coaching doesn't replace therapy. If I think therapy would help you more, I'll tell you honestly and help you find the right professional.
  • Consulting: a consultant tells you what to do. I help you find what works for you, because what you figure out yourself, you're far more likely to actually do.
How long does it usually take?

It depends on what you want. For one specific question or decision, 3–5 sessions are often enough. For deeper change (say, switching fields, starting a business, or finding your way out of a long stretch of overload) we typically work 8–12 sessions. We usually meet every 1–2 weeks.

“I’m not far enough along to need a coach.”

You don't need to be an executive or reach any particular level. You don't have to wait until you fall apart, either. It's enough to feel stuck, to face a decision, or to sense that something's off, and to want to untangle it with someone rather than alone.

“A coach will just tell me what to do and throw motivational quotes at me.”

There's no “just think positive” here, and I won't tell you how to live. Our work is honest, sometimes slightly uncomfortable conversations: the kind where you finally say out loud what you've only been thinking, and figure out what to do with it in everyday life.

What kinds of topics can you bring to me?

Anything that's got stuck in your life, your work, or the way you see yourself. For example, if any of these sound familiar:

  • “I keep overworking and I can't say no.”
  • “I'd like to change, I just have no idea to what.”
  • “I have an idea, but I'm scared to go for it.”
  • “I've thought about it so much I don't even know what I want any more.”
  • “Who am I outside my work and my achievements?”
What if I can't put into words what's wrong?

That's completely fine, most people arrive exactly like that. With an “I'm not in the right place” feeling, a general sense of being stuck, or knowing something else is needed without knowing what. You don't need to know the next step. First we look at why you feel you need to take one, and from there it gets much easier.

How do I know I’m ready to work together?

When you don't only want to talk the situation through, but you're curious what you can do about it. You carry the decisions from our conversations into your everyday life. I walk alongside you, but you take the steps. If you're not sure whether you're ready, we can talk about that on the free call too.

Do we meet online or in person?

The free consultation always happens online, on Google Meet. The coaching itself can be online too (also on Google Meet, from wherever you're comfortable), or in person, at a pre-agreed place in Budapest.

What happens in the free consultation?

30 minutes online, no strings attached. You tell me what brought you here, I tell you how I work. We see whether there's the kind of trust worth building on. If there is, we figure out together how to start. If not, that's completely fine too.

PEOPLE I'VE WORKED WITH

I won't say it was easy to start, but looking back, I wouldn't be where I am now. I would never have asked myself the questions I'd never dared to ask on my own. […] The empathy I received made everything so much easier.
Attila, 29
