Gosia Głowacka, coach supporting women through change

Does this sound familiar?

You know you want things to be different.
You just don't know where to start yet.

You have an idea, but you keep putting it off for “later”?

I help you see what's really holding you back, and get started before you find another good reason to keep waiting.

You've just become a mum and you feel your life needs rearranging?

Work, identity, priorities, nothing works the way it used to.

I help you find yourself again, in this new role, without giving up who you were before.

Your children are growing up, and you feel it's time to find something for yourself?

I help you find a direction where work fits the life you want to have now.

You're ending, or planning to end, your career?

I help you find an answer to the question “what now”, and build a life that no longer revolves around work.

If even one of these sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Who my support isn't for

When my support isn't for you

You want someone else to tell you exactly what to do.

Right now, you need therapeutic support, not coaching.

Not sure if this is for you?

Let's talk

My story

I know that moment when what used to work stops working, because I’ve been through it myself

When I became a mum, I found myself at a crossroads. What I knew, what I'd always relied on, stopped working. There were a lot of questions, not much clarity, and a feeling I was standing still. Just like you are now.

Thanks to NVC and coaching, I started to see how much I already had: my needs, my resources, my own path. The doubts didn't disappear, but they stopped deciding my choices. I gained more trust in myself and more sense of agency over my life.

I'm one of those women who build something new without a ready-made map. As an entrepreneur, I've co-run translation companies for almost 20 years: Great Words and Endurance Translations.

That's why I combine working with emotions and beliefs with practical knowledge of how to build something from scratch, even when there's no certainty yet.

It's not by accident that Michał and I named this place Setu, which in Sanskrit means 'bridge'. A bridge between what is and what you want to happen. The place where I once stood myself, and where I stand with you today.

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Howard Thurman

My qualifications

I don't collect certificates and diplomas

At the same time, I keep learning and developing my competences and skills.

Every training and workshop I've completed has genuinely changed the way I work and see people. As a result, I support them more and more effectively in making decisions and introducing change.

I submit my work to supervision and follow the ethical codes of the Polish Chamber of Coaching (Izba Coachingu) and the International Coaching Federation. I'm also working to get accredited with both organisations.

Pause for a moment

Before you book your session...

I want you to feel what my support sounds like, not just read about it. That's why I've prepared a short exercise, a few minutes to pause and reconnect with yourself. I do it myself when I feel overwhelmed. This isn't a coaching session, it's a taste of my presence and the way I work: calmly, mindfully, without rushing.

Do something for yourself now: put on your headphones and sit somewhere quiet.

And afterwards, if you'd like, let me know how it was.

The meditation will be available soon

How we find a solution

We'll name what's holding you back, so you can move forward

I won't tell you how to live, and I don't have ready-made answers. I help you see what you already have: your skills, your experience, the people around you. You don't need a plan, it's enough that you know you want things to be different.

Together, step by step, we build a plan: concrete, actionable, and truly yours.

What it looks like, step by step

  1. Initial session

    In a few sentences, you write what's bringing you here, I reply within 2 business days, and we find a convenient time to talk.

    The initial session lasts 30 minutes and costs 50 EUR.

    The initial session is a short qualifying format, not a discounted price for a full session.

  2. Setting direction

    During the first session, we explore your needs and make sure coaching is right for you.

  3. Sessions

    I run sessions online and in person in Warsaw, in various locations. Depending on your needs, we usually meet every 2 to 3 weeks. The number of sessions depends on many factors, usually it’s 6 to 10 sessions.

  4. Outcome

    You leave each session with a concrete, actionable first step and insights, not a ready-made solution handed to you from outside.

What I offer

One-to-one coaching

Work on change and your first step, at a pace and rhythm that suits you.

In one-to-one work, I combine coaching tools with the NVC (Nonviolent Communication) approach, to name the feelings and needs behind your choices and what's holding you back. This makes it easier to make changes and find solutions that actually work.

Outcome:
you end each session with an actionable step that brings you closer to your goal.

Empathic communication workshops

Communication built on needs, awareness and mutual respect.

You learn to talk in a way that builds connection instead of distance, and to listen so you truly understand the other person. During my workshops I combine theory with practical exercises based on real situations using various tools and approaches, one of them being the NVC (Nonviolent Communication) approach.

Outcome:
you leave with concrete tools you can use straight away, at home and at work.

Coaching workshops

Group work on resources, decisions and action plans.

In a group, it's easier to notice what you can't see on your own. Other people ask questions you might never have thought of yourself. During the workshops, I combine coaching tools with work on participants' real situations.

Outcome:

a concrete action plan, and the feeling that you're not facing your decision alone.

Why it is worth it

What you can expect

  • You'll see more clearly what's holding you back, and what you already have, even if this is something out of reach for now.
  • You'll leave with a concrete, actionable step, not a list of advice.
  • You'll experience what it's like to speak openly and be truly heard, without being judged.
  • You'll learn to name and communicate your needs, clearly, calmly, effectively.
  • You'll regain trust in yourself and gain agency over your own life.

Without this, the same thoughts will keep circling in your head, unresolved, just like now.

“Gosia, thank you for today. Our conversation with you - a coach, patient, listening, taking in everything I said, was exactly what I needed to start putting my scattered thoughts in order.”
