Empowerment through challenge and change

Abhiyana Michelle Singer

 

 

Certified IFS Practitioner

&  Self-Leadership Coach

 

Are you looking for more meaning, impact or ease in your life and work?

Work with me to:  

  • Access your inner self-leadership resources – e.g. clarity, calmness, confidence, creativity;
  • Navigate more effectively through challenge, choice and change.

I draw from different coaching, therapy and consulting approaches to help you realise your highest potential:

 

  • Certified Practitioner of Internal Family Systems psychotherapy (Level 3)
  • Certified in the Zen Coaching network (mindfulness-based)
  • Accredited Life & Executive Coach (IAPC&M)

Self-leadership is an ability to consciously observe and influence your own thoughts, feelings and actions – so you can achieve your purpose and goals.
It promotes self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-growth.
Some describe it as a higher level of psychological maturity or emotional intelligence. Others understand it as spiritual realisation – as coming to know who you truly are.

“[People in Self-leadership] describe feeling centered, calm, and light, with a pervasive sense of wellbeing. They demonstrate confidence and openheartedness. They have a greater sense of choice. Many also gain access to an exhilarating sense of connection to others…”  Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, founder of IFS psychotherapy

 

“Exceptional leaders distinguish themselves because of superior self-leadership.”  Daniel Goleman, psychologist and author of bestselling book, Emotional Intelligence

Can I help you?

I work with a range of clients – including senior managers, recent graduates, small business creators, mindfulness explorers, and anyone else struggling with difficult experiences (more details here) – across the UK and internationally. Areas of focus are:

 

  • Finding more balance & integration in work/life;
  • Resolving/healing inner experiences: Anxiety, overwhelm, anger, grief, low self-worth, languishing, ‘stuckness’;
  • Navigating transitions, e.g.  ‘milestone’ ages, lifestage shifts, new year planning; career change; new leadership roles; self-identity questions;
  • Processing life-shocks & lifestyle disruptions, e.g. burnout, health issues, redundancy, relocation, post-Covid adaptation;
  • Supporting employees through their personal experience of organisational change programmes.

Why work with me? 

My approach has been shaped by a 20-year career in international business consultancy and, at the same time, a long path towards healing, mindfulness and self-realisation.  This breadth of experience means that I can work flexibly around your needs.  I bring alternative perspectives and approaches that cast new light on challenging issues – but I also ensure that the coaching/therapy relationship is grounded in practical considerations, clear intentions and focused progress.

One of my areas of focus is helping people to become more integrated in their way of living and working.
