What we do

Our work is based on three elements we believe are key to achieving lasting positive change:

Perception: Understanding and using the powerful influence we have on our thoughts and experiencing how “making friends with our brain” can create a chain of positive ripple effects in our lives.
Practice: Building expertise and confidence through "doing" and keeping at it .
Peers: Feeling accompanied and supported by others on a similar journey.

Based on these principles, our support offer comprises 4 components:

1.
Cognitive-behavioural coaching

In group and individual coaching sessions, we work together with our participants to tackle fears and inhibitions, build a positive self-image, improve mental wellbeing and develop new visions on their life. See more details on our coaching approach and offer below.

2. Charitable project work

Through the joint implementation of a time-bound practical project for a local charity, our participants refresh their existing skills, learn new ones, create positive impact for others, build confidence and develop resilience to challenges in a safe setting.

3. Work experience

Supported by coaching and mentoring, our participants apply themselves in the job market, taking the next steps in becoming ready for work. In parallel, we practice hands-on job search and application skills, such as CV building and interview practice.

4. Peer mentoring

Participants get matched with a peer mentor who accompanies their transition back into work. Peer mentoring will continue beyond the duration of the programme.

Our Coaching Offer

We offer group and individual coaching sessions to anyone who would like to gain more clarity about their goals and personal path, and/or struggles with lack of self-confidence, fear of failure and negative self-beliefs. Our coaching follows a cognitive-behavioural approach and has the objective to help our clients (re-) connect to their inner strength and purpose, improve their wellbeing and take positive action towards achieving their goals.

We use an array of tools including active listening and mindfulness techniques, fairy tales, creative and reflective exercises, teaching basic concepts of psychology and neuroscience, self-coaching tools, and much more. Our group and individual coaching packages are always tailored to the individual demand and situation of our clients.

For long-term unemployed people, we offer regular 8-week group coaching courses, complemented by in-depth 1:1 coaching, free of charge.

Initial evaluation results show an improvement in confidence, wellbeing and reduced fear of failure, as well as a reported general positive change in the lives of our coaching clients, following their participation. See more in our impact section here.
