Sensemaking Space Coaching is creative and goes deep
Coaching: arts-based, trauma-informed, reflective, meaning-focused.
Hi, I’m Conny
My arts-based and trauma-informed coaching helps you make sense of your inner world so that you can grow into the life that’s right for you.
I work online with people from all over the world – as long as we can find a time when we’re both awake.
Who I work with
People who were caught off guard when their usual strategies for life stopped working.
People who want to unravel sticky patterns so that they can move forward differently.
People who realise that running on fumes isn’t how life was meant to be.
People who worked so hard to fit in and realise it comes at a high cost.
People who want to steer through big change without the whiplash.
My 1:1 Coaching Formats
Choose how you’d like to work.
-
A Stitch in Time
A short burst of coaching to attend to a distinct challenge, question or decision you feel stuck with.
Over 2 x 90min sessions, you can make sense of a distinct situation by slowing down the process. Get curious about your typical response pattern and create space to consider alternatives.
This coaching format is for you if you want to pause to reflect on options and possibilities before taking action.
-
Mending
Deep and focused coaching over 2-3 months to support you in mending and tending to a tear in your life.
Over 6 x 90min sessions, you can make sense of the wear and tear of living, whether that’s prolonged stress or an experience that has derailed you.
This coaching format is for you if you need to find solid ground before you can move forward.
-
Weaving
Explorative coaching over 4-6 months in which you can weave together different strands of your story, who you are and who you want to become.
Over 6 sessions, a mix of 60 and 90min, you can make sense of your different parts, sticky patterns, or how your sense of identity changes as you evolve.
This coaching format is for you if you want to build a solid and trusting relationship between you and you.
-
Stitching
Longer-term coaching over a period of time, typically a year, where you can follow the thread of your life. This coaching format is a steadfast companion and supports you flexibly in what life throws at you.
Over 12 sessions, typically scheduled every 4-6 weeks, you can make sense of life as it unfolds and your inner world as you evolve.
This coaching format is for you if you seek regular time to think and see coaching as a steadfast companion to meet life where it’s at.
If none of these formats feels quite right for you and you prefer more of a PAYG coaching relationship, book your free Discovery Call and let’s discuss the best approach for you.

The 4 core qualities of Sensemaking Space Coaching
-
Arts-based
In our work together, we’ll use creative processes to inquire into topics that are complex, go deep, feel impenetrable or difficult to engage with. We’ll value your process as a vital source of information in addition to being curious about the meaning of what you create.
Creative invitations come in many forms. They can play a central or minor role in your coaching process.
-
Trauma-informed
Trauma-informed coaching creates the space to notice survival strategies and personalities that have emerged after traumatic experiences and shape how you communicate, connect and cope in life.
In our coaching, we won’t process the actual experience; but we’ll build awareness to help you weave new patterns into the fabric of your life. This can also strengthen your skills as a trauma-informed leader.
-
Reflective
Cultivating a reflective practice ensures that your coaching process generates lasting outcomes.
My approach combines reflective inquiry, detailed coaching notes and creative invitations to shape your reflective practice as a rich source of self-knowledge, an ongoing support structure, and an early warning system when life goes off track.
-
Meaning-focused
I’m certified in the Map of Meaning®, an evidence-based, simple yet profound framework to explore what lies at the heart of meaningful working and living.
I use the Map together with arts-based, trauma-informed and reflective methods, so you can map your current landscape of meaning and mark areas for change. We won’t shy away from hard questions.

Kind words

“I really appreciated Conny’s facilitation - knowledgeable, flexible, gentle and very supportive. The Map of Meaning provided a useful framework but was never the focus - allowing a very personal reflective experience. I very much enjoyed the input of other participants too - both the perceptive questions and willingness to share experience.”

“I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed working with you. You have encouraged me to do work on my Memory Project that I would never have been able to do without you. I love the psychology and tools that you used to help me get started and also to understand my relationship to my art. I really appreciate your thorough notes, your thoughtful responses and encouragement. It was so helpful to have someone to bounce ideas off and to help with proof reading. I have now received my second volume from Blurb and I’m really proud of what I have managed to do with your help.”
