§ Method

Four pillars, one attention.

Coaching, ultra-brief therapy, the emotionally focused approach and interprofessional supervision reinforce each other. The starting point is always what you bring, not the method itself.

01

Reflective coaching

Awareness of inner patterns.

Reflective coaching is not advice. I do not tell you what to do, we make your own decision patterns visible. In the session I ask questions, we sit in silence together, and sometimes I hold up a mirror.

Sessions usually focus on a specific leadership or life situation that we explore: what you think about it, what you felt in it, how you decided, and what you see now in hindsight. Reflectivity helps you access your own wisdom in difficult situations.

I gained the foundations on the HR & MANAGER Service leadership programme (2005-2006), the ICF Advanced Coach training (2015) and the KRE supervisor programme (2007-2010). I am still in continuous supervision myself so that this mirror stays clean.

What it is good for

  • Leadership dilemmas, decision situations
  • Career transitions and role changes
  • Deepening self-knowledge in a stable life situation

What it is not for (honest boundary)

  • Acute crisis or serious psychological symptoms (psychotherapy is needed)
  • Practical professional advice (a consultant is needed)

02

Ultra-brief therapy (UTC)

A focused 5-8 session process.

Ultra-brief therapy (Ultra-Short Therapy Coach, UTC) is a strictly structured, targeted method. Unlike classical therapies it thinks in time frames: over 5-8 sessions we work with one specifically defined block.

This does not mean superficial. On the contrary: the tight frame forces us to identify the problem, the maintaining pattern and the first viable step quickly and precisely. Strong, deep and fast.

I was accredited in this method in 2024. In Hungary it is still little used, and it fits particularly well with leaders looking for a fast, outcome-oriented intervention.

What it is good for

  • A single, well-defined block
  • A specific pre-decision situation
  • Need for a time-bounded, outcome-based process

What it is not for (honest boundary)

  • Deep, long-term trauma processing (a different kind of therapy is needed)
  • Open, exploratory self-knowledge work (classic coaching is better)

03

Emotionally focused approach (EFT and EFIT)

Emotions as signposts.

Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is the clinical application of attachment theory. The individual version is called EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy), and for couples we use the original EFT.

The premise of the approach: emotions do not 'disturb' us, they carry information about what matters. In the session the task is to recognise the more vulnerable feelings behind the defensive surface, and to express them safely.

I completed EFT Core Skills in 2019, the HMT „Hold Me Tight" trainer programme in 2022, and EFIT 1 & 2 Level in 2025. Few professionals in Hungary hold this entire training line.

What it is good for

  • Relationship tension, emotional unavailability, attachment patterns
  • Recurring relationship difficulty (the same pattern with several partners)
  • Individual emotional work where attachment is also present

What it is not for (honest boundary)

  • Mediation, our aim is not agreement but emotional connection
  • In case of active abuse, a safety protocol is required first

04

Interprofessional supervision

Self-reflection for helping professionals.

Supervision is an essential mirror for the helping professions and for leadership practice. It is not therapy and it is not teaching, it is a structured space for reflection where you look at your own work with the eyes of someone who is not professionally invested in it.

I work in individual and group formats. Groups usually have 4-8 participants, and the power of interprofessional supervision is precisely that different fields (therapist, coach, leader, teacher, healthcare worker) sit at the same table.

I completed the KRE Supervisor programme in 2010 and the Supervisor-Coach specialisation in 2015. Today I chair the Supervisor-Coach section of the Hungarian Association of Supervisors and Supervisor-Coaches.

What it is good for

  • Helping professionals (psychologist, coach, therapist, mental health counsellor)
  • Leaders managing teams in difficult situations
  • Teachers, healthcare workers, burnout prevention

What it is not for (honest boundary)

  • Clinical individual therapy (different focus)
  • Acute crisis (different help is needed first)

Tools

Psychometric assessments

Scientifically validated tests (Facet5, DISC, Business Motivators, ManagerView360) integrate into the coaching process, especially in leadership work. They are not labels but a shared language.

Wondering which form fits your question?

On a first consultation we think it through together and look at which form best suits what you are bringing.
