Conscious Ageing® Coaching and Training

Ageing is a natural part of life, unfolding whether we pay conscious attention to it or not. Conscious ageing invites us to meet this stage of life with awareness, honesty, and creativity, cultivating a good-quality, active, and meaningful life until its conclusion.

For many people, midlife and later-life transitions bring up questions, fears, and difficult emotions. We may confront the limits of our physical existence, feel uncertain about identity or direction, or notice the weight of a cultural narrative that often portrays ageing in narrow or negative terms. At the same time, this period offers an opportunity: a moment to reassess priorities, reconnect with what matters, and shape the years ahead with greater clarity and intention.

In my work, I integrate the pragmatic Conscious Ageing® methodology with Gestalt therapeutic tools, creating a space that is both active and reflective, supportive and gently challenging.

This work is grounded in the belief that beneath fear, confusion, or old patterns, people possess an innate capacity to live with meaning, connection, and freedom.

Turning ageing into opportunity

In a safe, non-judgmental environment, we look at:

• the personal and cultural beliefs, fears, and anxieties that shape your experience of ageing

• the stories, patterns, and expectations inherited from family or community

• the emotions and bodily experiences that may feel difficult to express elsewhere

• the resources, strengths, and possibilities present in your life right now

The process invites both depth and action:

facing what feels difficult or frightening, while also opening space for direction, choice, and new opportunities.

Through dialogue, reflection, experiential exercises, and embodied awareness, you gain greater clarity about:

• where you are in your life now

• what you want to leave behind

• what you wish to create in the next stage of life.

What we explore together

What this work supports

Clients and participants often describe leaving the process with:

• a stronger sense of inner direction

• a clearer understanding of what truly matters to them

• greater emotional freedom and resilience

• a renewed ability to consciously support themselves in the ageing process

• a feeling of possibility: “I matter in my own life, and I can shape it in a way that feels good to live.”

For those who prefer one-on-one depth work, this material is woven into individual coaching and therapeutic sessions.

For those who feel nourished by group exploration, I also offer the UnfOlding Conscious Ageing training, where participants can engage with these themes in a supportive group environment.
