to rooting yourself inward.

Perhaps you recognise this—

You did everything right. The CV is impressive, the promotions came. But something inside feels hollow.
It's not that you lack ability. It's that you no longer know what all this ability is for.
You've started asking: "Beyond the person everyone expects me to be, what do I actually want?"
Your identity is shifting—becoming a mother, moving countries, leaving a prestigious role—and the old self can't come back, but the new one hasn't landed yet.
You've read the books, done the exercises. But that feeling of going in circles is still there.
Some nights you wonder: am I living my own life, or someone else's script?

If something here resonates,
this work may be what you've been looking for.

You don't need to be fixed.
You need to be seen.

Not to find "what's wrong,"
but to notice the patterns that have been
running underneath all along
the ones that keep you striving and spinning
at the same time.

This is not ordinary coaching

The Turning is a 5.5-month deep transformation passage. Eight one-on-one conversations of 90 minutes each, woven together with psychometric assessment, action experiments, and sustained accompaniment between sessions.

This work won't teach you new skills or help you optimise your current path. It does something more fundamental: it helps you see the deep patterns that keep pulling you back into the same struggles—and then practice a different way of being in your actual life.

It draws from the rigour of Western psychology and the depth of Eastern wisdom traditions. Not theory, but experience. Not just understanding, but embodiment.

The Passage

Five movements, from seeing to opening

1–2

Seeing

Getting clear on what actually matters to you—and what it has cost you to set that aside. No rush to find answers. First, we put the real questions on the table.

3

Choosing

After seeing, deciding not to look away. Not a sudden clarity—more like a willingness to keep going with the uncertainty. This is where real change begins.

4–5

Practising

Trying different ways of doing things in your everyday life. A 21-day action experiment takes what surfaces in conversation and brings it into real situations—to see what happens.

6–7

Extending

Moving from self to relationship. Trying a different kind of response with the people who matter most. Your sense of "who am I" becomes concrete in these interactions.

8

Opening

When your focus shifts beyond "my problem," your perspective widens outward—and what you've been through becomes something you can give to others.

What's Included

8 Deep Conversations

Each 90 minutes, one-on-one, online or in person. The rhythm is intentional—more space in the early months for inner digestion, gradually deepening as you build capacity.

Psychometric Assessment

Pre, mid, and post measurement using four validated scales. Your transformation isn't just a feeling—it becomes visible and measurable.

21-Day Action Experiment

A personalised daily practice designed for your life, with check-in support. Not homework—a way of letting your body understand what your mind already knows.

Transition Map

A living document that tracks your transformation across the full passage. When you look back, you'll see clearly how far you've come.

Written Reflections

At four key moments in the passage, you'll receive written observations from me—what I noticed as your coach, reflected back to you.

Ongoing Support

Message support between sessions, plus a follow-up conversation 6–8 weeks after the passage ends—to make sure the transformation takes root in your real life.

Is this right for you?

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

  • You've "succeeded" but feel an inner emptiness or loss of direction
  • You're willing to invest 5.5 months in deep self-exploration
  • You're open to looking inward, not just solving outward
  • You want a different way of being, not just better answers
  • You're ready to take ownership of your own transformation

THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF

  • You're in acute crisis (please seek therapeutic support first)
  • You just want to change jobs or solve a specific external problem
  • You can't commit to a sustained 5.5-month engagement right now
  • You're looking for an expert to tell you what to do

About Sylvia

My work sits at the intersection of three worlds: the evidence-based rigour of Western psychology, the depth of Eastern wisdom on existence and transformation, and the lived experience of navigating life between cultures.

I don't help you optimise the path you're on. I walk alongside you as you find—or create—your own.

I believe you already carry the wisdom you need. My role isn't to give you answers, but to hold up a mirror—so you can see what you've always known but haven't yet had the courage to acknowledge.
