what can coaching do for you?
Or maybe let’s start with this: What if the way you think is the only thing standing between you and the life you want?
Imagine navigating life’s challenges with greater confidence, clarity and resilience. Coaching gives you the tools to reframe negative patterns and create meaningful change in any area of your life, helping you create a future you’re excited about.
Mindset coaching helps you see challenges from a new angle, break free from limiting thoughts and take actual, tangible steps towards a better future.
If you know you could benefit from a mindset shift in topics such as career, relationships, life transitions (moving, break-up/divorce, having kids etc.) or for general personal growth, then you’re in the right place.

coaching vs therapy: what’s the difference?
When you’re looking for support to improve your life, it’s important to find the right approach for your needs. Both coaching and therapy offer incredible value but they focus on different aspects of personal growth and well-being.
Think of it this way: therapy helps you heal from past wounds, understand the patterns that have shaped your life and work towards emotional healing. Coaching, on the other hand, is about looking forward – identifying where you want to go and developing a clear, actionable plan to get there.
If therapy is about understanding the “why” behind your thoughts and feelings, coaching is about answering the “how” questions:
- How can I move past this limiting belief?
- How can I take action toward my goals?
- How can I shift my thinking to see new possibilities?
Coaching is a powerful partnership where we work together to unlock fresh perspectives, build practical strategies and keep you moving forward.
Both approaches are valuable but coaching is ideal when you’re ready to grow, change, and thrive.
Coaching: building a future
Focus: Forward-thinking, action-oriented personal development.
Goal: Helps you clarify what you want, break through limiting thoughts and create practical steps to achieve meaningful change.
Approach: Clear strategies and mindset shifts that lead to real progress.
Mindset: Progress over healing — building the future, not just understanding the past.
Example: “What’s next for me and how can I make it happen?”
therapy: healing the past
Focus: Explores and heals emotional wounds and past experiences.
Goal: Helps you process trauma, improve emotional well-being and understand the “why” behind your feelings.
Approach: Often involves deep exploration and diagnosis of mental health issues.
Mindset: More about healing than growth.
Example: “Why do I keep feeling this way, and how can I heal from it?”
Why mindset coaching?
Your mindset shapes how you see the world and how you show up in it. I know how powerful a mindset shift can be. Changing my own mindset has helped me so much to navigate some of life’s toughest moments and, surprisingly, also uncover dreams I didn’t even know I had.
That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others do the same – mindset coaching helps you shift your thought patterns and beliefs to enhance personal growth and performance and is beneficial in various areas of life, including career, relationships, and overall well-being.
It involves identifying your limiting beliefs, developing a positive outlook, and cultivating resilience. It’s not about changing who you are – it’s about helping you see your own strengths and possibilities more clearly, and using them to create a life you love.
By fostering a growth mindset, you’ll learn to embrace challenges, overcome obstacles, and achieve your goals more effectively.

From scattered thoughts to a complete restart: Maret’s experience
“In spring, I found myself in a situation where everything seemed to be just fine – I worked at a company that I liked and whose values matched my own. I had a role that I had been working really hard for.
And yet there was this cringy feeling inside me. My thoughts tend to fly in ten different directions at once and I was a bit stuck with them when I happened to find Merili.
Merili’s guiding questions and skillful reflections helped me better categorise and prioritise the thought noise in my head. During our cooperation I got the confirmation of which direction I want to move to which led me to do a complete restart in my career.
Merili’s utterly positive and warm nature is natural and genuine. Communicating with her is natural and pleasant. I recommend Merili as a coach when you feel like you’re facing a wall. And also when everything is fine but you just feel like bouncing some ideas around.”
