Life Coach & Consultant - Certification

I am a certified corporate wellness specialist and hold a degree in communication sciences. At the same time, I am studying psychology. In addition to these qualifications, I work as a life coach and am the founder of Joy Corporate GmbH in Basel.

In my coaching sessions, I place special emphasis on a respectful and appreciative interaction with my clients. I create a trusting atmosphere where they feel free to discuss their goals, challenges, and fears. Through targeted attention and empathetic questions, I am able to recognize the deeper motivations and obstacles that prevent them from realizing their full potential.

Who am I? 

For nine years, I have lived in a harmonious blended family with six members. During this time, I have experienced numerous profound changes. My life has often taken me to different places around the world, accompanied by parades and immersing myself in different cultures. 

A divorce was a pivotal moment in my life. It brought not only personal challenges but also a time of pausing, reflecting, and reorganizing.

Regardless, I began to pursue new paths professionally. I questioned old patterns, discovered new interests, and consciously focused on what is truly important to me. This phase was characterized by personal development, new perspectives, and the courage to embark on new professional paths.

These experiences have strengthened my personality and increased my resilience and motivation. As a result, I approach new challenges with a considerable amount of mindfulness and purpose, and I integrate these aspects into my life coaching sessions. Ultimately, these life events have inspired me to dedicate myself to my current vocation and offer coaching services.

I am convinced that there are always multiple paths and possibilities to reach the desired goals. I may have recognized my life mission late, but there have been decisive events and experiences in my life that have shaped me and ultimately led me to the point where I stand today. 

Coaching and consulting in Bern, Zurich, Lucerne, Basel - Online or in the practice

In my role as Life Coach/ Consultant, I rely on my expertise and experience to support my clients. Although my office (practice) is located in Basel, I serve clients from Bern, Lucerne, Zurich, and around the world as an online life coach through online sessions. I offer coaching in German, English, French, and Romanian.

My particular strength lies in developing individually tailored strategies and solutions that are precisely aligned with the needs of my clients. I help them formulate clear goals and monitor their progress to guide them on their path to their desired life.

Through my comprehensive understanding of the human psyche and behavioral patterns, I am able to identify blockages and limiting beliefs. Together with my clients, I work to overcome these obstacles. I encourage them to step out of their comfort zone and explore new perspectives to unleash their full potential.

My education 

The fascination with interpersonal communication and psychological connections has accompanied me since my youth; it has not only shaped my thinking but also significantly influenced my professional and personal path. My career includes a degree in communication sciences as well as roles as a moderator and news presenter in my hometown of Bucharest. With more than 15 years of international experience in areas such as communication, coaching, sales, marketing, and key account management, I have experienced numerous facets of professional life and have developed both professionally and personally.

My hunger for knowledge is insatiable; I consider myself a lifelong learner. It is of great importance to always be up to date in order to provide clients with the most relevant information.

My enthusiasm for consulting activities and my strong interest in humanity have led me to pursue a part-time study "Bachelor of Science in Psychology" at FernUni Switzerland. In addition, I completed training in Corporate Wellness/Wellbeing in Los Angeles (2017) and obtained my certification as a Corporate Wellness Specialist. These diverse qualifications, complemented by further training, enrich my profile.

Under the umbrella of my BGM company, Joy Corporate (in Basel), I offer innovative webinars, workshops, and seminars for companies that focus on health and prevention. Our service offering also includes services such as personnel consulting, consulting, and supervision.

Through my certification as a corporate wellness specialist and my studies in psychology, I am able to offer tailored coaching programs for individuals and organizations. In this regard, I closely cooperate with an extensive network of therapists, psychologists, coaches, and consultants.

In addition, I work with Agile coaches and business coaches to empower teams to exceed themselves and achieve outstanding corporate goals.

We are also active in the field of corporate health promotion and offer a wide range of events and webinars on topics such as sports, nutrition, fitness, mental training, emotional intelligence, and well-being in the workplace.

I firmly believe that psychological counseling plays a key role in promoting well-being and mental strength. 

Sometimes, an initial conversation in a counseling center can be the starting point to receive appropriate help and guidance.

In a counseling center, professionals such as psychologists, psychotherapists, and female psychologists can accompany adults, adolescents, and couples on their path to a better quality of life. Whether it concerns relationship problems, professional challenges, or other stresses, informed counseling can help gain new insights and develop individual solutions. In the conversation, the clients' concerns are discussed, and the counselor helps analyze the situation and identify possible solutions. Psychological counseling can provide valuable assistance both in acute crises and in supporting individuals during difficult life phases. Through targeted conversations, people are supported in coping with their problems and developing new perspectives.

In Zurich, Basel, Lucerne, and the canton of Bern, there are numerous counseling centers that offer psychological counseling. These services are aimed at people in different life situations and include not only psychological counseling but also coaching, psychotherapy, and crisis intervention. Counseling centers often provide a wide range of support services, from telephone counseling to in-person consultations on-site. The addresses and contact information of these centers can be easily found online or through special hotlines.

Psychological counseling is important not only in acute emergencies but also in the long-term support of people in challenging situations.

Whether it concerns conflicts in the professional environment, family problems, or health difficulties, the consultations are designed to improve the quality of life of the clients. Specialized services such as couple therapy, child and youth counseling can also be utilized.

Especially in crises, it is important to receive support quickly and easily.

Telephone counseling and email counseling are often the first point of contact for people in emergencies. These services allow for immediate contact with professionals who can assist in difficult life situations. Pro Juventute and other organizations also offer specialized counseling for young people and their families.

In addition to psychological counseling, psychotherapy can also be a valuable aid in dealing with underlying problems and mental illnesses. Psychotherapists work closely with psychiatrists and other professionals to ensure comprehensive care.

In conclusion, it can be said that psychological counseling can make an important contribution to health and quality of life.

Whether through personal counseling at a counseling center, telephone counseling, or psychotherapy – support from professionals can help find a way out of the crisis step by step and successfully master difficult life situations.

Psychological counseling requires not only solid knowledge but also continuous further education to meet the growing demands in the profession.

With advanced consulting skills and a variety of methods, it is possible to individually address the needs of clients and help them sustainably.

Through continuous consulting work, personal challenges can be overcome and new perspectives can be created. Regardless of whether it concerns professional, family, or personal issues, the right support is the key to a fulfilling life.

Psychological Consultant Training

Various recognized institutes offer training in psychological counseling, for example, with a federally recognized diploma or a certificate according to the guidelines of the Swiss Society for Counseling (SGfB). The prerequisites for entry are usually a minimum age, life experience, and often a professional or psychosocial background. The training typically includes several modules on conversation techniques, psychology, ethics, and practical work.

Psychological counseling is more than just a conversation – it is a structured process that strengthens people in everyday life, provides security, and helps them to unlock new resources. 

Whether through qualified counselors in individual settings or as part of a professional course in psychosocial counseling – the goal remains the same: to support people in improving their quality of life, mastering challenges, and shaping their everyday life with more clarity and inner stability.

Counseling processes

In my counseling processes, I place great value on ensuring that those seeking advice feel well cared for in a trusting and respectful atmosphere.

I design each session individually, always oriented to the specific life questions and needs of the person who comes to me. Whether it’s about processing burdensome experiences, supporting emotional challenges, or clarifying a current life situation, the person is at the center of my focus.

I offer solid psychological support while also ensuring full transparency regarding costs, so you can plan well.

The consultations are flexible: online, in person on-site, or, depending on need, also as part of intensive individual modules with optional catering. Because I am convinced: Every person deserves mindful, professional support on the path to more clarity, inner peace, and self-determination.
