Anna Maija Siljander

I am an EMCC accredited Coach at Senior Practitioner level and ICF accredited Coach at ACC level with nine years of coaching experience.

My coaching approach is grounded in supporting humane leadership and personal development. I partner with individuals worldwide, across various industries and roles, who are navigating professional and personal growth. I hold a belief that leadership lives in everyone, regardless of their organizational role.

In my practice, I offer space for clients who are exploring topics such as work-life balance, stress management, self-care, emotional regulation, resilience, leadership development, or career transitions. My goal is to hold a clear, reflective space where clients can gain clarity, explore their options, and navigate transitions at their own pace—whether in a single session or through long-term coaching partnerships.

My background includes a Master’s degree in Adult Education with minors in Psychology and Social Psychology, along with nine years of experience in higher education focusing on leadership programs. My framework integrates Cognitive Behavioral, Transformational, and Dialectic principles, enriched by my training in Yoga and Cognitive Short Therapy.

Over the years, my style has evolved from structured models like GROW toward an authentic, present, and collaborative space tailored to each client's unique situation. I strictly adhere to ICF ethical standards and confidentiality, bringing a holistic and respectful approach to every partnership.

If you are looking for a professional coaching space to reflect on your current situation and explore your next steps, you are welcome to get in touch.
