Kariné Gazarian

With a background in neuroscience and psychology, I bring a science-informed approach to coaching. This isn't about overwhelming you with research and data; it's about using my understanding of how your brain works to identify patterns in your story. These patterns often reveal why you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in unhelpful cycles, offering you empowering and liberating insights. 

Perhaps you're grappling with

• self-doubt,
• lack of confidence and self-esteem,
• overwhelm and difficulty making decisions,
• anxiety and insecurity about your future,
• or confusion, not knowing which steps to take next...

You might be 

• operating on autopilot, 
• feeling stuck in negative thoughts or feeling like an imposter,
• prioritising the urgent over the meaningful,
• or persistently stressed and exhausted...

BIG OR SMALL, LIFE TRANSITIONS CAN MAKE THESE FEELINGS TAKE OVER

WHY?

Because we are biologically designed to seek security and certainty, and change is threatening. We tend to avoid uncomfortable emotions and lean into the pleasant ones, to be distracted rather than present and to run our lives on autopilot,

BUT...

We are also biologically wired to be curious and creative, to seek self-actualisation and growth, and to show up with joy, gratitude, and compassion. 

BETWEEN THESE TWO PROGRAMMES LIES A CHOICE,
and with the right knowledge and tools, you can harness your ability to act on it.

WHAT's THE DIFFERENCE?
Unaddressed, unhelpful patterns of feelings, thoughts, or behaviour can lead you to:

• miss out on life-defining opportunities and feel even more resentful and self-critical;
• numb yourself with work, food, or alcohol, keeping you stuck in a perpetual loop;
• respond in situations reactively and defensively, which in turn can impact important relationships ...
• prioritise the needs of others over your own wellbeing, leaving little energy for important life choices and genuine joy.

How would your life be different if you weren't held back?

Together, we’ll work on: 

• building your emotional agility and resilience so you can begin feeling in control,
• rewiring your beliefs and habits that are keeping you stuck,
• exploring what makes you you -  your values and priorities, 
• developing a clear vision for your future,
• outlining achievable steps toward your goals, 
• keeping momentum and motivation.

I offer evidence-based coaching to facilitate your journey towards living your best life.

Grounded in psychology and neuroscience, this approach leverages an understanding of the brain to harness neuroplasticity, fostering lasting, positive shifts in resilience, emotional efficacy, thought patterns and behaviours.

THE ALCHEMY OF PRESENCE

A crucial predictor of coaching success is rapport between a coach and a client. 

You need to feel safe, seen, and heard. You need space to think, to feel, and to make sense, without being rushed or overwhelmed with advice. 

That is when your own authentic, creative, and unique solutions will come to the surface. That’s when transformation actually happens. 

Apart from knowledge and skill to guide you, the essential qualities of a good coach are patience and presence... 

A safe and supportive space where you can navigate your inner landscape, allowing you to discover new possibilities beyond your comfort zone.

Imagine feeling fulfilled, no matter what challenges life throws at you—flexible, resilient, and aligned with what truly matters. Let's work towards making your vision a reality! 

Send me a message about your situation, and I’ll get back to you shortly. If I think I can help you, we’ll arrange for a free online chat to get to know each other and determine the next possible steps. 

SOME FACTS ABOUT ME...

• Originally from Lithuania, I received my BA in Psychology in British Columbia, Canada, and my doctorate in Clinical Neuroscience from UCL, London in 2017.
• In addition to coaching, in 2019 I founded Artful Mindscape, a venture that aims to promote wellbeing through art and creativity.
• My life, just like yours, has been full of big pivotal moments (from a big career change, living in different countries to navigating single parenthood and managing life with chronic pain). I know firsthand that, although immensely challenging, big transitions can lead to positive change and growth.
• When I’m not coaching, running courses or being a mum, I love to walk in the fields, listen to jazz, or draw!

TESTIMONIALS

“Kariné brings a wealth of intellect, insight, and inspiration to our coaching discussions. Her guidance and reflection has altered my self-perception and self-direction so significantly that, while the immediate benefits are remarkably clear, the future benefits are where I believe the seeds of this investment will blossom in full. I am filled with a deep and resounding gratitude to have found her”
Laura Blume, Creative director at BlumeShine Studio

"I had an incredibly enriching and enlightening time working with Kariné. Each session was so informative, expansive and eye opening. Kariné is such a natural and genuine teacher, she has a very calming and soothing presence and never failed to truly see me."

Orla Bradfield, Applied Anthropologist

"I recently put on my first solo photography exhibition at a gallery near my home. I was keen to do it but was nevertheless very anxious and stressed about the amount of work involved, the pressure it would put on my already busy schedule and even if it was worthwhile from an artistic viability perspective. I can honestly say that without Kariné’s guidance, the exhibition wouldn’t have happened at all. It was hugely successful, and I am eternally grateful to her for working with me on self-perception and helping me to evaluate the challenges in a composed and logical way. Perspective is all, and Karine’s counselling helped me regain a sense of calmness and an unruffled approach to finding the route to achieving what I was aiming for." Claire Carroll Photography

Creativity coaching

The price of coaching with me depends on individual circumstances and level of commitment. I recommend committing to a coaching journey of at least 6 sessions within 2 months.

Committing to something unknown can be daunting, even when it holds the potential for significant change. My aim is to help you achieve real results, so if, after our first full session, you feel that coaching isn't for you, you'll receive a full refund, no questions asked. Consider this a risk-free opportunity to explore.

"…Be open to learning and Kariné will gently take you on a fun journey of self discovery and increase your self awareness so you can be your best self. Just brilliant!!"
- Simone Brenninkmeijer

“Learning about my brain and how it's wired really helped me get behind myself, learning to give back so much compassion for the burnt out overwhelmed shell I'd become.”
- Paula Hammond

“Absolutely fascinating to learn so much about the brain - how it works, how much we are affected by it but then to learn how we can train the brain in so many different ways. Experimenting with the different tools of art to bring about flow was really enjoyable, using processes I’d never considered before.”
- Helen Gainford
