About Me

Hi, I'm Sandra.
With over 27 years of experience in social services across Germany, Vietnam, and Australia, I hold an Honours degree in Social Work (1997) and additional qualifications in NLP and Positive Psychology. My diverse experience includes working with families, refugees, people with disabilities, and individuals navigating major life transitions across three countries.
My coaching style is empowering and solution-focused, blending empathy and validation with thought-provoking questions that gently push you out of your comfort zone. I adapt intuitively to each client's personality - some need gentle encouragement, others prefer direct clarity. I bring warmth, humor, and authentic presence to every session, creating a relaxed space where you can explore life's challenges without judgment.
Having worked internationally, I understand how it feels to start over socially and rebuild connections in new environments. My evidence-based approach combines practical social skills with deeper emotional work to create lasting change.
