How I can help you
CHAPTER 1
Coaching for Organisations
Working together
The need for mental health coaching in today's corporate world is clear.
Leaders are constantly under pressure to make the right decision and to be performant in an increasingly complex and agile word that constantly requires new skills and ideas.
Employees today struggle with new challenges. Many have questions around purpose, meaning, or the impact of various technologies on their work. Change brings new structures and roles which leads to uncertainty and fear.
My 20+ years of experience in the start-up and corporate worlds help me to understand the challenges faced by today's leaders, teams and employees.
Find out how my mental health coaching can help your leaders, teams and employees and your organisation's culture.
Mental health coaching with real benefits
I offer personal coaching and counseling (online or in-person) for executives, teams and employees so that they can:
- Better manage stress
- Learn how to build real and sustainable resilience
- Avoid burnout
- Increase performance and motivation without negative health consequences
- Better deal with change and uncertainty
- Successfully manage specific situations that they are facing at work
My coaching sessions with your employees offer clear benefits for your organisation:
- Improve well-being and mental health
- Decrease turnover and absenteeism
- Improve company culture
- Increase productivity and performance
My sessions combine different methods and tools. As a coach and therapist, it is important that I remain flexible and being able to adapt to your needs and to the flow of your energy in each session.
Your coach
I have done quite a bit in my twenty-five year career.
From leading large teams of digital designers and developers and managing a digital agency to running a corporate health accelerator and providing mental health and agile trainings to hundreds of employees, I have had the chance to explore many different aspects of work in start-ups, NGOs and companies of all sizes.
Therefore, I understand the pain points and challenges that leaders, teams and employees face. I have been there, on the receiving end of stress, burnout, uncertainty and of the demands of managing change and complexity.
After doing more and more mental health and mindset change work for my last employer (and realising that I was good at it and truly helping people with their challenges), I decided two years ago to become an independent behavioural and mental health coach practitioner.
I opened a private practice in Berlin, and I embarked on a series of certifications and trainings to enhance my skills and to become and even better coach and therapist.
In addition to the degrees and trainings that I already had (MBA, MA, Agile certifications such as ICP-CAT, CAL I, SAFe, and Neuroscience for Business), I proceeded to obtain various certifications and trainings in:
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
-
Life and Health Coaching
-
Emotional Freedom Technique
-
Healing Trauma
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
-
Positive Neuroplasticity
-
Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence
It is the combination of business, coaching and mental health experience and knowledge that makes me the right partner to assist your employees with the challenges that they face.

My approach
As a behavioural and mental health coach practitioner, I use methods that focus on behaviour change. Based on your needs and situation, I may draw on more traditional therapy techniques or I may bring in tools from coaching and creative/innovative thinking.
That being said, I associate myself and my coaching/intervention style most closely with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, of which I am a huge fan and practicioner.

What my clients say
Psychological health is a very personal topic that requires a lot of trust.
One of my key objectives when working with clients is to make sure that they feel seen, heard, and understood.
Below are reviews from some of my clients.
Robert Rose
Thank you for your help in this difficult situation. Eric provides professional advice and helped me take the next steps and supported me when I lacked the strength. Eric knows burnout from personal experience.
Robert Rose
Eric supported me during a difficult moment in my career. His experience, expertise and kindness helped me defuse a crisis. The tools offered were useful, relevant, and accessible. THANKS!
Robert Rose
I am so grateful to have been able to work with Eric on some of my issues. Before I came to work with him, I was struggling with a lot of stress and burnout from work and I wasn’t really sure how to make that transition to have more peace in my life and to be able to enjoy my life more. I loved working with Eric because he really helped me open my mind and see possibilities for myself and my life that I hadn’t quite seen before on my own. Sometimes I think we really need someone from the outside, like Eric, someone empathetic and really someone who can see us more clearly and guide us through changes that we want to make.
Robert Rose
Eric is very experienced, empathetic and authentic, as well easy to connect to. He helped to uncover my triggers & limiting beliefs and provided practical tools how to deal with them. I understood where I am in terms of mental health and how to navigate through a stressful time. Each session was very productive and I just simply enjoyed it, despite the fact we were discussing challenging for me topics. I truly believe that he can guide me through my transformation to become more happy, fulfilled and resilient person.
Robert Rose
I found Eric to be a very emphatic, respectful and authentic conversation partner, very sensitive and at the same time professional and structured, with good ideas and recommendations for action.
Robert Rose
I was looking for burnout counseling because I hadn't found a place for therapy. I wanted to understand and do something. I wanted to start working on myself. Then I found Eric as a coach and I'm very happy with that. I immediately felt very understood and in good hands. I learned a lot about myself and gained some tools that I can use in the future when I experience emotional/mental stress or just get stuck in negative thoughts. For me it was a kind of tidying up, getting to know myself again, a change. I received important information about my system, which I gladly accepted, internalized and now belongs to me. Thanks for that!
Robert Rose
Thank you for the professional support and emphatic advice. I felt in good hands and understood.
