Alexandra Tokarczyk - I'm a Solution-Focused coach and a scientist-practitioner; using evidence-based tactics for sustainable change in areas of mental health, and managing change.
Bio
As a scientist-practitioner, she uses evidence-based tools to support individuals and teams in their personal and professional development. My style is focused on meaningful work, transforming unhelpful habits, and crafting sustainable strategies for lasting positive outcomes for individuals and team.
I'm a non-judgemental and open minded practitioner with a major focus on the client. Whether I work with neurodiverse or neurotypical clients, I am always determined to unravel unhelpful patterns in practical experiences across all walks of life. I strongly believe well-being, resilience and pleasure are not just ‘nice to have’ but essential for a satisfying life.
Coaching Style Although my main style is Solution-Focused I integrate other therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioural and Acceptance Commitment. The main goal of this style is to support you in discovering how to collaborate with yourself, not against yourself. We will focus more on how to get you where you want to be with what you have. I aim to give you real-world working strategies and tools to maximise your chances of completing your tasks when you don’t feel like they’re achievable. I strive to offer a balance between challenges and support in a bespoke and empathetic manner.
Experience
Hi there, before I tell you more about my practice I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. I'm an accredited Solution-Focused coach with a background in Psychology with over 200+ clients coached. Over the past 10 years I've been gaining clinical experience across substance abuse units, working with neurodegenerative diseases, substance abuse, resilience training and habit formation.
I've been conducting end-to-end pharmaceutical research, crisis intervening as well as team design and organisational structures as part of my organisational career to help me understand the systemic structures which affect change perception. As an evidence-based practitioner I pride myself in using research and supervision as an active part of my practice to ensure safe and bespoke approaches for sustainable change.
