Why coaching wasn’t enough. (My new chapter)

You Can’t Outthink Your Nervous System.

Hey,

I want to share a real shift in my work.

For the past few years, I’ve been doing Ontological Coaching with high-performers: founders, leaders, expats — ambitious humans who can think their way through almost anything. We worked with language. Identity. “Ways of being.” Designing the future.

It was powerful.

And… I kept running into the same edge.

People would have the right mindset. The right strategy. The right plan.
They could execute. They could perform. They could solve.

But inside?

They were tight. Tired. Running on willpower.
Not the “I need a nap” kind of tired — the deeper kind:

The tired of holding yourself together.

And no amount of insight was changing that.

That’s when I started seeing something clearly:

Sometimes the problem isn’t your mindset.
Sometimes your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do —
stay alert, stay productive, stay in control.

So I went deeper.

I began training at the Gestalt Institute of Scandinavia (GIS) — not to become more intellectual about the human experience, but more contactful with it.

Less performance. More truth.
Less strategy. More ground.

What I’m building now is an integration: Ontological Coaching + Gestalt depth.

A space where we don’t only talk about your goals —
we meet the person who’s trying to achieve them.

The part that’s successful on paper, but still can’t fully relax.
The part that’s accomplished, but not fully home.

Today, I’m opening a waiting list for this new hybrid approach (Gestalt therapy-informed work + Ontological Coaching).
And if you’re more drawn to classic Ontological Coaching, that’s still available too.

If you’d like to be on the waiting list (or explore coaching), the simplest way is to message me through my website’s contact form:

Warmly,
Alex
