Coaching for professional growth
I help professionals realise their potential with more confidence in the role they already have — a new position, new responsibility, a new stage of their career.
If you recognise yourself here, we can work together to make a change.
The sentences I hear most often — and what sits underneath them.
What you tell yourself
“I'm not ready enough yet.”
What is really happening
The readiness is already there — the recognition of it isn't.
What coaching gives
Separating your value from external evaluation.
What you tell yourself
“I need more proof that I can do this.”
What is really happening
Looking for confirmation instead of taking action.
What coaching gives
Reading your existing results as evidence, not coincidence.
What you tell yourself
“I was promoted — I should figure it out alone.”
What is really happening
Treating people management as something that arrives with the title.
What coaching gives
Concrete tools for delegation, decisions and communication.
What you tell yourself
“It's too early to ask for more.”
What is really happening
Setting your bar below your actual level.
What coaching gives
Action aligned with your real level, not a lowered self-image.
Performance coach · PCC ICF
I'm Maryna, a Ukrainian living in the south of Portugal. I'm a nature lover, a dog owner, and an adventure seeker. I have two passions in life: running and creating personal development tools that help people grow.
I'm fascinated by what helps a person move forward — and what, on the other hand, keeps them stuck. Perhaps that's why running and coaching fit so naturally into my life. Running teaches me patience, endurance, and trust in the process. Coaching allows me to explore the same things together with others — helping people understand themselves better, find their footing, and move towards what they truly want.
I turned coaching from a passion into a profession, bringing together individual development work and years of corporate HR experience in tech. So I know both sides of the table: the person and the system they operate in.
My work stands on three pillars: confidence, self-care, and balance. They are what keep results going when motivation runs out. I also believe in the bottleneck effect — change one key area, and it quietly reshapes the rest. Career is simply the most practical place to start.
My style is honest partnership. I'll name a contradiction when I see one, and I'll stand with you when you're being far harder on yourself than the situation deserves.

Training and credentials
Three formats, one direction: from a first shift to a result that holds.
“Start” — intensive
A fast, focused shift
4 sessions of 60 min, once a week — one month of intensive work
For whom: a sharp, concrete trigger — a new role, a new project, a sudden drop in confidence. You need a quick, focused shift rather than long-drawn-out work.
Outcome: a concrete practical shift in the situation you came with — more clarity, more confidence in your actions, the acute block removed.
Per session
€50
Whole package
€200
“Stability” — six-month support
Steady, lasting change
6 sessions of 60 min, monthly — six months of accompaniment
For whom: no acute trigger, but a need for gradual, sustainable growth in confidence and for change that holds over time.
Outcome: stable, embedded change — not a one-off insight, but a new working model of behaviour, tested in real life between sessions.
Six months of ongoing support; monthly payment possible.
Per session
€60
Whole package
€360
“Full cycle” — combined
First shift and lasting result
4 weekly sessions at the start, then monthly until the six months are complete — 10 sessions
For whom: you need both a quick first shift and long-term consolidation of the result. The fullest path — from the first change to a stable result.
Payment in 2–3 instalments. The lowest price per session of all formats.
Per session
€40
Whole package
€400
Included in every format
Prices in euro. Sessions run online in English or Ukrainian.
Group format · launching early 2027
I deliberately move away from classic group coaching in favour of a mastermind format — more exchange of experience between participants, less “teaching” from my side.
My own transformational game for exploring your resource state — energy, confidence, balance. For individual work or a small group.

01
Tell me briefly what you want to work on and which format feels right.
02
A short free conversation to check that we're a fit and to agree on the goal.
03
We meet online on a set rhythm, with work between sessions.
No. Therapy mostly works with the past and with healing; coaching works with the present and with what you want to move towards. We look at what is happening now, what holds you back, and what a different action would look like next week.
