TRAUMA & STRESS-INFORMED COACHING & COUNSELLING

Do you

- feel unrooted?

- feel lost or without purpose

- feel like you are juggling too many things?

- feel like you are struggling to find balance?

- feel haunted by your past?

- want to change existing family dynamics?

- feel burned out and too exhausted to look for help?

- feel you just would like to have a sparring partner for ideas, changes in life or new projects?

Coaching approach

My focus is on creating a compassionate, respectful, non-judgmental and mindful open space. Together we will investigate what questions concern you, using techniques such as systemic work, family constellations, mindfulness and somatic exercises. I am adding Compassionate Inquiry to this toolkit. This psychotherapeutic approach was developed by Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur and focuses on trauma, addiction and childhood development.

The sessions are live or online, individually, with teams or with couples.

Trauma & Stress Informed Coaching

Trauma, big or small, is something we all carry with us. Trauma can occur when a child's basic needs are not fulfilled by the parents/care-takers. This may have happened when we were very young and unable to process what the environment required of us. This is how trauma remains in our bodies and manifests itself through triggers in our present.

One of the biggest causes of stress is the disconnection from our bodies. Stress of any kind, can be a signal the body send us to discover more about ourselves. This can provide us with important information about our mental and physical state.

With trauma-informed approaches like Compassionate Inquiry, mindfulness and somatic awareness I can help you unlock traumatic experiences that cause stress and provide you with tools to navigate the present without being led by your past. You will learn to integrate coping-strategies to restore balance and (re)connection with your body.

Systemic & Family Constellation Coaching

Systemic work is based on interconnections within systems, exploring how patterns influence behaviour, beliefs, and relationships. Family constellations is a facet of systemic work, using group dynamics to represent family structures. Participants embody family members, revealing hidden dynamics and unresolved issues.

On one on one sessions we work with the field, paper and colors.

We sometimes carry traumas that have been passed on by our ancestors, and we continue to pass them on to our own children. By observing these constellations we uncover inherited patterns and facilitating resolutions emerge.

About me

My name is Andrea Porcelli. With South American parents I was born in Barcelona, Spain. Throughout my life I lived in various places in Spain, Chili, Argentina and the Netherlands, surrounded by refugees, musicians, poets, philosophers and artists.
As a second generation immigrant I became aware of feelings of confusion and disconnection with myself. During years of searching for a place in the world I started to learn to reconnect with my roots.
Studying and processing my own childhood traumas I came to appreciate what these signs of distress in my body and mind are trying to tell me.
The desire to help others has always been a part of my life and it just keeps on growing, together with my knowledge of various methods, approaches and ideas.
