1:1 Coaching in London & Sofia
…and Everywhere in Between
Coaching has become an important part of our lives. We are constantly faced with challenges, cross roads or just the desire to get to know ourselves better. Become a more aware version of ‘me’.
After 15+ years in a corporate career, coaching large, global teams, speaking at events and leading many personal development workshops I decided to create A Mindful Escape, and make this the core work I do. Living and working in busy cities like London can drain us, make us feel overwhelmed, exhausted and overall slightly isolated at times.
Whether you're based in the heart of London or tucked away in the calm corners of Sofia, coaching with me is designed to meet you where you are—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My 1:1 sessions are held in 3 formats to suit every need. In person, online or as a walk and talk experience in a local park. I offer you a safe and supportive space no matter your location. Many of my clients come from fast-paced cities like London, seeking balance, clarity, and purpose. Others connect from Bulgaria given my Bulgarian roots and understanding of the local dynamics.
Supporting Expats, Locals & Global Souls
Coaching is deeply personal, and I always aim to deliver a tailored approach to every session. Living between cultures, identities, or cities like London and Sofia can feel disorienting—but you're not alone. With roots in both the UK and Bulgaria, I understand the nuances of navigating stress, burnout, and transitions in multicultural, high-pressure environments. Whether you’re an expat adjusting to change, a local feeling overwhelmed, or a global soul in search of direction, my coaching is here to guide you gently back to yourself.

What is coaching and how is it different from therapy?
Coaching is a forward-focused, empowering partnership that helps you gain clarity, build confidence, and take actionable steps toward the life you want to live. It’s not about fixing you—because you're not broken. Unlike therapy, which often explores past trauma or mental health diagnoses, coaching is future-oriented and designed to support personal growth, mindset shifts, and emotional resilience. Coaching is not advice-giving or consulting; instead, it’s a collaborative process where you uncover your own answers through guided reflection and practical tools.
Whether you're navigating burnout, a life transition, or simply want to reconnect with yourself, coaching offers a grounded space to move forward with intention.
