My Values
Compassion
Everybody's behaviour makes sense if you could step into their shoes. Behind understood fully is a longing for most people. Compassion can create emotional relief. Non-judgementalness gives space for change. Understanding the needs behind a certain behaviour is important.
Full Potential
I am always intrigued by the imagination of what abundance lies in each person. Without exception, everybody carries precious unique gifts. Most people only live a friction of their potential. Being curious about each other's full potential can open inner doors.
Equity
I am aware that coaching settings themselves can create power hierarchies and disempowering patterns in a hidden way, and I try my best to circumvent such patterns. I invite equity that brings the humbleness, respect for everyone's life experiences, and that is a space of self-responsibiliy and agency for the coachee.
My Methods
Systemic Constellations
Systemic coaching is a method that puts attention to the relations within a system. Through visual or spatial representations, subconscious information is allowed to contribute to the clients process in finding helpful new perspectives and solutions.

The approach spread all around the world and has also been applied in war zones.

About Me.
Passionate about the environment and social justice since childhood, I had decided to study environmental sciences and politics at the Leuphana University in Lüneburg, a small town close to Hamburg. I continued with a Master in "Geography of Global Change" in Southern Germany and spend one year as exchange student in Oslo. After my master thesis and a year as research assistant at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, I am now resettling in Oslo with my self-employment business Taslima Life Coaching.
