Coaching has been a brilliant solution, and has enabled me to speed up and be more concrete. I view Helena as my secondary brain — that really helps me to crack any problem I’ve brought to the sessions with her. If you are looking for a coach that can help you solve your problems yourself better and faster, then I can wholeheartedly recommend Helena. She is a joy to work with.

Nicolai Elberling
Risk Advisor

Helena is a deeply attentive and genuinely interesting person. She possesses a strong capacity for empathy, which makes every session feel comfortable and safe. She has a remarkable ability to bring forward the aspects of your personality and mindset that are essential to recognize — yet often difficult to see on your own. At the same time, she is someone who values tangible results. I would recommend a coaching journey with Helena to anyone who feels a little “lost” in their work, or senses a lack of purpose in their career. It is an experiential process where time is truly well spent and never wasted.

Allan Tornsberg
World Champion Latin Dance

Helena’s coaching style is professional, focus-driven, and genuinely personalised. I felt very comfortable and supported throughout the entire journey — able to openly share what I was really feeling, what challenged me, and what I couldn’t make sense of. We always focused on what I needed most at that moment.

One of the main reasons I chose this specific coaching was the boutique, tailored approach I sensed from the very first session. That was a decisive factor for me. The whole journey was completely new to me, and I was excited to try something different and gain new perspectives and expertise.

I would recommend Helena to anyone who feels stuck and isn’t sure what they want, but knows they aren’t happy with where they are. And equally to those who have a plan and a direction, but want the journey there to feel less uncertain and more grounded.

Ievgeniia P.
Program Manager

I had just been promoted to head of a centralised department with 18 employees. I had no leadership tools for the role — only common sense and a genuine interest in people. Recognising I needed more, I contacted Helena for a coaching programme to guide me from specialist to leader. And Helena succeeded in that difficult task. I received concrete, practical tools and leadership approaches I could use immediately. Today I still lead a large department and thoroughly enjoy my role — and I owe that to Helena’s coaching.

Stefan B.
Department Head

When I first came with my thoughts about a major career change, I wasn’t quite able to put it into words. After a coaching programme with Helena, I have not only found the words — I have also reflected, acted, and made the choices that felt impossible three months ago. Helena asked the questions that gave me insight, held up a mirror, and tied the threads that led to new clarity. Thank you for a wonderful coaching journey.

Lykke B.
Career Transition

Through my coaching programme with Helena I have become much clearer on what I can, want, and should do — and it is already helping me in my daily work. I have had several eye-opening moments and have valued the confidential, well-considered space to explore challenges. I always felt that it was me and my current state that set the agenda, while Helena contributed excellent reflections and kept me on track. The written summaries after each session were wonderful — they kept the process present in an otherwise busy everyday life.

Bine N.

My goals became real. Helena saw all of me — and that gave meaning and direction on every level.

Sebastian
Leader
