Communication Coaching for Personal and Professional Growth

My first 3 weeks with Melinda has been incredible! I greatly appreciate how well she holds space throughout the session. I love that she recites what she’s hearing and helps to unpack some key points. I feel like she’s straightforward yet gentle in addressing her input, while other therapists have mostly validated my loops. It’s refreshing!

How I Can Support You

Empathy​

A space for you to feel empowered, heard and supported. I provide empathic presence and listening to support you in exploring what you really need and want. This can often lead to:
    • A refreshed sense of clarity
    • Healing
    • Motivation and
    • Strategies that will serve you best

Sounding Board

Are you an entrepreneur with a small business or side hustle? Do you have a project you could use someone to sound some ideas out and talk through some challenges with? Creating space with sounding board sessions bring your goals into focus so you can: let the solutions reveal themselves, uncover and remove blocks, find your flow and creativity, make real and meaningful progress personally and with your projects.

What My Clients Are Saying

This was a wonderful opportunity to share my thoughts and feelings with someone really listening to me. (I previously considered recording myself, then watching it so I could get a better grip on how I feel.) This session allowed me to explore my feelings and perspective. Melinda heard what I was saying while also hearing what I needed. She helped me discover the gap in communication with my husband while also helping me see how incredible our relationship is.
Melinda was the well-trained friend I needed during our session, caring, positive, and helpful. I loved our time together. Thank you, Melinda.

Spacious, robust and attuned presence.
What a joyful relief it is to have received this empathy session with Melinda! I explored aspects of my relationship with my son, and was able to transform my fears and frustration into clarity, empowerment and appreciation, thanks to the the solid, attuned and caring presence Melinda held throughout our session. I have been looking for that kind of empathic space for years and would recommend it to anyone who wants to cultivate self-clarity and self-care.

Well, I’ve had the best conversation with Melinda. She helped me find a connection to what I was saying about myself and how much my connection to Source has a role in so much of what I focus on.
She really listened and heard me, and truly helped me hear myself. That was the best gift of all because I got to care more about what is important to me, and really mean it. So anyway, as always my appreciation and enjoyment when we discuss, frankly, anything.
And that’s a gift that keeps on giving.
Again, loved our empathy session, which ended up being a sounding board too. I’ve become fond of what I create and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm with others.
Please choose Empathy Catalyst; I highly regard Melinda and the work she does in the world. Keep it up!

Empathy Catalyst Coach​

After looking many places over a very long time for a better way to communicate and connect, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) found me. I’ve been fortunate to receive amazing empathic presence at very pivotal moments in my life and have experienced the magic of empathy to be incredibly transformational. Receiving nonviolent communication support through coaching, training and peers has helped me to navigate many challenging conversations, become a more confident communicator in a way that aligns me with my values, and contributes quality support to the people in my life.  I have personally used this skill-set in: 

  • my work as a research manager for a textile recycling technology development company working with Board level and technical team members
  • negotiating long-term remote working from Australia and Denmark for a UK based company
  • replacing people-pleasing patterns with an increasing ability to advocate for myself, care for the needs of others and find win-win strategies together
  • resolving a pattern of depression

I find a great deal of meaning and joy in being able to offer empathic support, transformational processes, communication coaching and sounding board sessions. I also offer themed and foundational courses in Australia, Denmark, and Internationally online.

I collaborate with the Danish organisation LIVKOM (Life enriching communication)and Danish NVC trainer Kirsten Kristensen offering trainings, providing web administration and business support. 

Supporting wellness, and effective communication is a passion of mine. Your success is my focus.
