Coaching and Therapy

This is Psychologist Adélka Vendl:

Curious, knowledgeable, easy going, astute, challenging and with humour.

Target audience:

Adults

Themes:

Anxiety complaints, assertiveness, depression, mood swings, addiction, self-esteem, sexuality, unwanted behaviour, stress and relationships

I have been working as a psychologist for 20 years. My method is that I look much more at the person than at the problem or diagnosis. It is subordinate to me. More importantly, how can I help you function properly again? I work in a very fresh and easy going way. Clients appreciate my acumen which I combine with humour and warm support. I can express ideas in a direct and clear way and have a good understanding of what is important.

I am an internationally working psychologist and as a result I learn that we sometimes struggle with the same themes all over the world. We all get stuck in life sometimes, that's only normal if you look at what is expected of us. And what we expect of ourselves.

Business coaching

I believe that you can combine private life and career well. But you can't have everything. Knowing what your talents are, acting assertively and feeling confident are important. But also, acceptance of what does not work. I guide you in making the right choices. So that you feel better again. At the crucial point in your career, it is important to develop your leadership & strength. This increases your impact. Coaching is part of your personal development and achieving your goals or refraining from doing so ;).

Coaching and therapy can sometimes overlap. The themes you encounter at work also play a role in your private life.

I strive to have a positive impact on the world of tomorrow. You can see that in my membership at thecoachingfellowship.org I am committed to coaching women (25-35) so that they can reach the real top. Not only to be good but also to do good.

The Provocative style: Action oriented, quick, effective and fun.
Anxiety, self-confidence, depression, personality troubles, relationship issues, stress & burnout, do you recognize one of these?
More important then the problem is the person behind the problem. That’s what I will be looking for. I help people with by challenging them. We will dive straight in to the hart the of problem and you will be amazed how strong it will make you. And besides we laugh a lot!

The Provocative Style offers an entirely alternative approach. It is delivered from a curious and good natured attitude and is designed to expand one’s thinking, as opposed to more traditional experts who put forward solutions and offer advice.

Provocative coaching set out from a few basic principles ensuring we can fix problems quickly and efficiently.

Challenge: Actively stimulate clients and bring them out of themselves.
Ensures: Initiate strong, authentic actions, and increase ownership.

Humor: Project a cheerful, reasonable demeanor.
Ensures: A more rational insight and a sharper focus on the most important things.

Personal contact: Create an atmosphere of engagement and appreciation.
Ensures: Commitment and higher visibility.

Why Provocative coaching?

Behavioral change is difficult. Altering long-held beliefs and thoughts requires discipline, self-insight and the courage to focus fairly on yourself and not on the things you can’t influence. Respectful challenges will lead to:

• More results in the short term

• Quicker insight into the nature of the problem

• Realistic assessment of the costs vs. benefits

• Clearer overview of the psychological principles in play in the organization

• A comfortable professional streetwise ‘sparring’ partner.
