Safe Space, Brave Space & Accessibility
Who is my offer aimed at?
My offer is aimed at people of all ages, national and social origins, cultures and religions, bodies and physical and mental disabilities, gender identities, romantic and sexual orientations.
I try to create a 'safe space' & a 'brave space'* for all my clients in my sessions. This means that I make every effort to create a sensitive and discrimination-free place in which you feel safe and empowered to face yourself courageously and curiously and to share what moves you with me.
I also approach you and your issues with the awareness that there is structural inequality and injustice in our world, which affects us all to different degrees (see below). Therefore, I do not offer you one-size-fits-all approaches, but rather individual and personal cooperation.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
James Baldwin
Language
I speak fluent German and English and can offer you coaching in both languages.
Physical accessibility
Unfortunately, all rooms in which I currently offer appointments are not barrier-free.
If you are a wheelchair user or climbing stairs is an obstacle for you, please contact me. We can arrange a home visit or a meeting in a barrier-free location.
Financial barrier
As coaching is not a treatment method for mental disorders or illnesses, my services cannot be covered by health insurance companies.
Unfortunately, there are currently no other options for having the costs covered by another body. This means that the costs for coaching are in the high-price sector, although they make an important contribution to prevention and (mental) health promotion.
Coaching is therefore structurally not barrier-free.
To counteract this, I offer you the opportunity to sort yourself within my price range according to your financial possibilities. You can find out more about this on the Offers page.
If you cannot find a sum in this range that feels feasible for you, I also offer a solidarity price. This offer is aimed at people with little or no income. I ask you to show your solidarity and only take up the offer if you would otherwise have to decide against my support.
Statement on structural challenges in the field of coaching
In my work as a coach, I am constantly dealing intensively with the challenges that can arise from private sector coaching offers and structural inequality. I am aware that conventional coaching offers tend to offer individual solutions to problems that are often systemic in nature. This can distract the focus from necessary social changes and reinforce the feeling that individual efforts are sufficient to overcome structural inequalities. I strive to raise awareness of this problem in my work with my clients.
Personally, however, I see coaching not only as an individual tool, but also as a socially relevant tool that can support systemic changes. I see empowerment and awareness-raising of individuals as a great opportunity to enable systemic change 'bottom-up', as a broad social movement.
With my approach, I want to help us not only achieve personal goals together, but also develop an awareness of the larger social context.
In this way, I hope that coaching can become a tool for more social justice and solidarity. I am always happy to discuss this with you. Mail.
* Explanation of the terms 'safe space' & 'brave space'
Safe Space
A 'safe space' is a protected space in which people can feel safe and free from discrimination, criticism and emotional or physical threats. This concept comes from the social movements of the 1960s and is used today in various contexts to promote trust and open communication. In a 'safe space' you can speak openly about your thoughts, feelings and challenges without having to fear negative consequences.
Brave Space
The term 'brave space' was coined by Brian Arao and Kristi Clemens and describes a space in which honest and respectful conversations about difficult topics are possible (Arao & Clemens, 2013). A 'brave space' goes beyond the 'safe space' by offering the security and protection of a 'safe space', but at the same time encourages the courage to deal with challenging and sometimes uncomfortable topics.
Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht tiefere Einsichten und persönliches Wachstum.
