Whether you are looking for a new job, curious to start something of your own, or looking to find more alignment and meaning in what you do—coaching can get you there feeling confident and cared for (and likely get you further than you thought you’d go).

I’ve supported people with:

  • Clarifying their next steps and taking ownership of their career path

If you’re feeling stuck and need clear, actionable steps to get things moving, this is for you.

Kind words

  • Silja is the best of the best. She helped me so much to make sense of the difficulties and insecurities I experience, and gave me the tools I need to start making genuine improvements. Silja brings a calmness, kindness, generosity of spirit and deep human and professional insightfulness that made the whole process more effective and enjoyable than I could possibly imagine. I felt understood, listened to and supported - I can't thank her enough.

    A. M.

  • Working with Silja has been a truly transformative experience. I started the coaching journey during a period of burnout, unsure of my next career step and lacking confidence in my direction. Through her guidance, I gained clarity, rebuilt my confidence, and explored new opportunities with a fresh perspective. Her structured yet empathetic approach helped me move forward step by step, and by the end of our sessions I had a strong CV and cover letter, and even secured my first interview in a completely new sector. I’m deeply grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone seeking clarity and growth in their career.

    V. A.

  • Silja truly listens. It’s simple, but it makes all the difference. Over the months we’ve worked together, she’s been a key part of my support system: someone I can trust and count on, all while being fun to work with. I can’t recommend her enough.

    Jacques

  • My coaching journey with Silja has given me so much understanding in where I am currently and where I would like to go. The sessions and at-home exercises were thought-provoking and personal, while still always feeling like a safe space to express anything that came up. I would recommend sessions with Silja to anyone who is looking to strengthen their professional foundation, plan their next career step, or who is just looking for some excellent guided introspection.

    Vera

  • Silja has the perfect blend of personality traits that make a great coach. She is supportive and kind, but she's not afraid to ask you the tough questions that get you thinking about your life choices. She keeps you accountable, and she always has an exercise or two in her pocket to unblock you from a dilemma. During our coaching journey, I never felt judged or rushed when it came to "doing the work," and she created a safe space for me to really explore what I want out of my career, and make meaningful decisions that I felt confident about. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Silja, and can honestly say that the impact this coaching has had on me is long-term, as I will be taking all the learnings with me, whatever may come next.

    J.

  • Working with Silja was great and exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciated the structure of all sessions and the overall scoping. Great follow up and kind reminders on agreed deadlines or deliveries. Really fast and valuable feedback on questions and asks for review. Great and honest conversations, motivation and help on self- perception and perspective.

    Josefine

  • I had been feeling stuck in my career direction for a while, but from the first session Silja’s energy was exactly what I needed. She truly listened, providing structure, clarity, and a supportive space making me feel understood. Thanks to her guidance, I now have a clearer understanding of my situation and feel confident in taking ownership, working on the concrete steps we defined together to keep moving closer to my ideal goal. Thank you for your constant help and support!

    Agathe

  • Silja’s approach to helping you will be tailored to your goal, as well as your personality. Her years of specialized experience in finding perfect candidates for a variety of Tech jobs and her positive approach to even the most complex of questions provide reassurance. Moreover, her easy-going, gentle personality, which is a welcoming sight in a grueling process such as job-hunting, made any interaction with her inspiring and pleasurable. Silja's guidance is what I wish everyone who dreams of finding a perfect career match could experience.

    R.

    Lindi

  • I recently had the privilege of experiencing a career coaching session with Silja. The session was a deep dive into my personal and professional aspirations, as well as the challenges I face in achieving them. Silja's insightful guidance not only helped me find viable paths to overcome these obstacles but also aligned them with the broader objectives of my organization. It's evident that her blend of technical acumen and exceptional interpersonal skills uniquely positions her to make a significant impact in this field. Her passion for fostering growth and success in others is truly inspiring, and I am confident that Silja's career coaching practice will be a beacon of support and transformation for many.

    Joao

  • While working with Silja, I discovered the importance of embracing my authentic self and letting go of the need to fit into predefined labels. Her guidance helped me focus on identifying and aligning my personal and professional values with those of potential employers. This newfound perspective has not only boosted my confidence but also allowed me to approach my career journey with greater clarity and authenticity.

    Monse

  • Working with Silja during my job-hunting journey was an absolute pleasure! Her attentiveness, warmth, kindness, and generosity are the absolute highlights of her as a professional. She helped me review my CV, gave nuanced and detailed advice for job-hunting on the European market, and helped me realize how to represent my true potential as a UX Researcher in the best light.

    Rusana

  • i love collaborating with silja, and i can’t recommend her enough! i worked with her during my career exploration and job search, and she was a valuable resource to have in my corner. she acted as a cheerleader and moral support, as well as helping me with the nitty gritty details like assessing job roles, understanding if the role was a fit for me, updating my cv, and preparing for job interviews and negotiation. since she has a background in recruitment, i trust her to give really helpful advice about positioning myself and presenting my best self to employers. she has a calm yet firm approach that i really enjoy, and i recommend her as a coach in whatever capacity best serves you.

    Joe

  • From the very beginning, I felt a genuine connection and a sense of comfort that allowed me to talk openly about anything. In this kind of process, having a career coach who can guide you and provide the right motivation makes all the difference. I’m truly grateful for your support and will always keep in mind the valuable insights we shared.

the wholesome growth club is all about giving introverts and perfectionists the support they need to craft a meaningful career—from figuring out what you need and value, navigating those tricky workplace situations, and boosting your confidence and resilience along the way. With personalized Co-Active coaching and a trauma-informed approach, it’s all about supporting you to thrive in the most authentic way.

looking for answers?

  • There are a few questions you can ask yourself to find out. First, are you looking to change something about your situation, specifically how you show up in your professional life? If that’s a yes—how would you feel about putting some work into changing things up? Are you still on board? Then, we should get things started. It’s always good to remember that reaching your goals takes commitment and courage. But if you sign up for coaching, I’ll be there to support you at every step.

  • That’s unlikely. Certified coaches are trained to coach people, not topics—so we’ll be touching on life more often than not. Plus, work is a big part of life—it can give us meaning and reflect our values. But remember that the only topics discussed in coaching are the ones you are comfortable sharing something about.

  • Big no. Therapy is meant to treat a mental health issue. You work through past experiences with a healthcare professional and explore ways to improve your well-being. Coaching focuses mostly on the present and the future and is all geared up to help you reach those goals that are meaningful to you. It’s less about healing and more about (softly) challenging you to build the life you want and keeping you accountable while doing so. If accessible to you, they can both be part of a great support system when it comes to dealing with life.

  • A safe and confidential space where you can reflect on your present life and future goals without judgment. Depending on where you are on your journey, we’ll be touching on different topics and questions during your session, and you’ll be reflecting on how to move closer to your goals. If you wish, I’ll also keep you busy with insightful tasks between our sessions.

  • Co-active coaching is a highly collaborative approach centered on self-discovery and awareness, avoiding prescriptive techniques or advice in favor of authentic answers. Co-active coaches actively listen, employing sensitive communication to understand body language, show acceptance, and validate feelings—fostering effective relationships and encouraging clients to own their experiences by addressing root causes over surface-level problems. This nonjudgmental approach respects diverse perspectives, enabling meaningful conversations that promote change and personal growth.

  • Sessions happen virtually, over video calls. Would you prefer to meet in real life? Just let me know.
