About me
Accessing coaching and therapy can feel daunting, especially when life’s challenges become overwhelming or difficult to name. Many people find it hard to reach out, unsure of where to begin or what to expect. You may be feeling isolated, misunderstood, or simply in need of a space where you can pause and reflect on your experiences without fear of judgment. The process of seeking support is a courageous step, and it’s natural to feel apprehensive or uncertain at first.
As a liberation practitioner, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to explore and make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be met with warmth and understanding, whatever their background or situation. Together, we can work at your pace, gently uncovering insights and strengths that can help you move towards greater clarity and fulfilment in your life. Whether you are facing a specific issue, a more general sense of unease, or seeking to improve your general wellbeing, I am here to support you in finding your own way forward.
"Empowering you to heal, thrive, and reclaim your story in the digital age"
Are you looking for a coach who truly sees your whole self - your strengths, struggles, and the systems that shape your life? Welcome. My name is Syl Korsak (she/her), and I am an experienced liberation practitioner, integrated coach, and counsellor based in Bristol, offering support online, in person, in nature and VR.
Why Work With Me?
Integrated, Relational Therapy: I blend leading psychological approaches - including liberation psychologies, person-centred, psychodynamic, systemic, existential, positive psychology, and more - into a cohesive, client-led process. This means you receive a tailored, holistic experience designed to meet your needs.
Liberation-Focused, Anti-Oppressive Practice: My approach centres around your agency, safety, and empowerment.

My Consultation Details
The initial 30-minute online consultation is a complimentary, no-obligation opportunity for us to connect and explore how we might work together. This session is designed to be a welcoming, pressure-free space where your needs and preferences are at the centre.
During our consultation, we can discuss:
- Your Challenges and Goals: We’ll talk about what brings you to counselling or coaching, your current challenges, and what you hope to achieve, so I can understand how best to support you.
- Getting to Know Each Other: You’ll have the chance to ask any questions about my approach, experience, or anything else on your mind. This is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of whether I am the right fit for you.
- Practical Details: We’ll review the practical aspects of working together, including session frequency and length, fees, cancellation policies, holidays, and any technical requirements for online sessions.
- Next Steps: If we decide to move forward, we can discuss a potential start date for your counselling or coaching sessions.
- Alternative Support: If, for any reason, we feel that another service or approach may better suit your needs, I am happy to offer guidance on alternative sources of support.
It’s completely normal to feel some nerves before your first session. I encourage you to bring any concerns or questions you may have - my aim is to create a supportive and understanding environment from the very beginning. If you decide that I am not the right fit, I will do my utmost to help you find the support that’s right for you elsewhere.
If you’d like to book your free consultation or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can book it here: www.calendly.com/voxelhub/welcome or via this directory. I look forward to connecting with you.
