From knowing oneself more deeply, change naturally occurs. Change that is always driven by the will to achieve our potential or simply to actualize our ideals. Personal development is the process of change that occurs when one is more deeply aware of ourselves, our place in the world and surroundings and our connections with the people around us. Behind that process is an inner drive to fulfillment. Even though we may become aware of that inner drive to fulfillment, we might not clearly see how to use it or work with it. We see some unused potential, or possibilities; we see something we would like to transform or enhance, but it's not clear how. For whom? what? Have you identified certain aspects of yourself that you believe could be used to improve your life and experiences but are not sure how to apply them? Have you recognized certain unused potentials in yourself that are not fully aligned in your life and could be better used or developed? Have you recognized certain patterns or events that somehow you feel need to be looked at?
Personal development also can be an important factor in certain problem areas in our lifes, where we become aware that some of the obstacles we face or difficulties that seem to repeat themselves, could be more easily transformed or overcome if we could adopt a different stand, a different point of view, and then we look into ourselves and wonder, could I? The basic principle behind the idea of personal development is that what we call our Self, is not a fixed, unchangeable thing. We are constantly in flux, moving through our lifes and changing little bits of ourself all the time. In fact, this is exactly the entire idea behind the approach to personal development, counselling and coaching that I rely upon the most. If we can say something about ourselves, is that the self is in motion - constantly - regardless if we are aware of it all the time or not. Once we understand better our place in the changes that make up our life, and ourselves, that understanding allows for more inner space and relaxation, from which movement and engagement with the world can come naturally and meaningfully. What I can offer you here, is a safe space, where you can explore your possibilities, and your inner process of change. Together we can look at where you are and where you want to be.

"There is in every organism, at whatever level, an underlying flow of movement toward constructive fulfillment of its inherent possibilities." - Carl Rogers
"If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning." Carl rogers
