"Coaching turned out to be exactly what I needed"
Dr Spyros Skarvelis-Kazakos
Senior Lecturer in Power Electronics
"Coaching turned out to be exactly what I needed. At first, I thought it might be just a generic boring thing that you go through and at the end there is no tangible output, but it wasn't.
It was time well-spent. I actually got to discuss my "modus operandi" with Margarita and she worked through the details with me. She was very sharp in picking up on things that I didn't realise were pulling me back. She helped scrutinise my thought process, key decision points, and showed me what I should work on.
Now I know better where I am leading my career towards (leading being the keyword here), and have the 'tools' to prevent unnecessary stress."

"Margarita has a fantastically reassuring presence – calm and soothing in a way that gives you a sense of peaceful discovery, and real and composed enough to inspire real change. Her guidance feels delicate and not at all intrusive – you learn that the best way to climb a mountain is to take a walk (be brave, keep going, and plan as you go along).
She is able to connect on a truly genuine level - her approach is that of personal relation, engagement and understanding.
A career coaching conversation leads to an endeavour in discovering your own depths – whilst still keeping it closely concerned with real prospects. Margarita's guidance leads your thinking into a more resourceful and confident place. You begin to feel like a treasure chest, able to pick which one of your jewels to frame next.
It is easy to get overwhelmed when diving deep, especially if the depths are within. Having a guide able to lovingly give order to your disorganised flow of personal discoveries encourages you to go deeper. I have a structuring problem – it is easy for me to respond to an impulse (a catalyst phrase, question, or take a thinking turn), to fish out a profound confession or an exciting idea; it is much more difficult though to give it shape and dimension, to link it with its sister-ideas, and to take it further to give it flesh. Margarita's compassionate listening somehow gives me an anchor and a pair of wings in a most inspiring two-for-one bargain."

"Positively life-changing"
Adam Bates
Founder and Director of Ambigo CIC
"The guidance I've received from Margarita has been positively life-changing. After each session I enjoy with her, I end up with another glorious nugget of self-realisation that has a profound impact on my mental wellbeing and my day-to-day life.
I haven't felt this much at ease, self-confident and grounded in years."

Ahead of my first taste of psycho-synthesis with Margarita, I was experiencing a constant tightness in the head and chest, stress and burn-out. All of that has almost completely disappeared. I'm very confident it isn't just fleeting relief. That's because the depth of introspection she has navigated me through has astonishingly revealed some fundamental truths about my identity, behaviours, beliefs and desires. But, Margarita's magic doesn't end with that enlightening analysis.
She's enabled me to devise better ways of being. For example, we were able to pinpoint that I had a propensity to treat others with a degree of compassion I wasn't affording myself. Instead, I was continually punishing myself, which caused stress. Using role play, she helped me find a way for compassion to guide my Will (my principle desire/purpose) so I would treat myself in a more kind and rational manner rather than beating myself up when I did something 'wrong'.
My sessions with Margarita haven't been your typical talking therapies. Far from it. What also makes them unique and particularly effective is that she brings her own personality and life experiences to the fore to help me understand myself. This ranges from delving into etymology of language to dancing around the room performing basic tango. It's joyous!
I haven't felt this much at ease, self-confident and grounded in years. Rather than cowering at the thought of taking on the future and its plethora of potential problems, I'm excited by the challenge of pursuing my Will and creating the future that is most *me*.
Needless to say, I urge anybody and everybody to take the step to psycho-synthesise with Margarita, no matter who you are and where you're at in your life. If you're confused, stuck, fearful about anything or just want to learn more about yourself, get in touch with her! It could significantly change your life, like it has mine."

"Margarita enabled me to explore aspects of my self, which I may have ignored for some time or was not aware of. As a result of her guidance, I was able to give voice to them and identify their significance in my life to date and also identify where they were coming from - where the root of their influence lay in my deeper, hidden, less apparent self. This guidance through one's layers of consciousness is a revealing exercise as one makes sense of and unravels and is able to name the influences. This self-discovery leading to greater self-awareness is an empowering process, which enhanced my self worth.
Margarita was also excellent in her interaction with my twelve-year-old son who also participated in the sessions. She used a variety of techniques to draw him out and develop an understanding of his own self-worth and to explore and give voice to his own aspirations. He benefited from these sessions and always looked forward to participating in them."
