Let’s dive in.
Let’s join forces together.
Ariadne Kapsali is an award-winning, internationally Certified Coach, Supervisor for coaches and practitioners, Yoga and Meditation Teacher and Mental Health Professional.
Her studies and background are in Psychological Therapies, with training in CBT interventions supporting people with depression, anxiety and other common mental health challenges. She also holds an MSc in Health Psychology and prior to starting her own coaching business in 2015, she had over a decade of working experience in NHS Mental Health and Wellbeing services, substance misuse, trauma and other vulnerable communities and groups.
Ariadne’s work is guided by her passion for brave, values-led and impactful space holding; she offers one-on-one and group coaching and runs transformational courses, workshops and retreats. Identifying an industry need for safer facilitation, a lack of supervision and mental health input, she mentors, supervises and offers training to new and established coaches and practitioners to navigate the challenges of their role and build confidence in themselves as space holders.
All of you is welcome here
🌱
You feel stuck, overwhelmed or lack direction and are unsure of how to move forward.
🌱
Despite your genuine efforts, you cannot seem to sustain the changes you make. Your critical inner voice gets very loud and self- sabotaging patterns take over.
🌱
You crave space to reconnect to yourself + build a vision and a plan for your life, rooted in your values.
🌱
You are trapped in cycles of procrastination, perfectionism and putting other people first at your own expense. It leaves you drained and in burnout.
🌱
Fear and anxiety have been driving your decisions and you want to learn how to lead with intention + self trust.
🌱
You want to take up more space in the world in a way that brings more purpose and meaning to you - but what feels like lack of confidence gets in the way.
What to expect:
›› An in depth, fully tailored, trauma-informed approach to support you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, build a supportive and flexible mindset, create meaningful and sustainable change while giving yourself the space and permission to explore, review and expand in the most true, joyful and impactful ways. All while acknowledging the wider context, systems and conditioning that underpin our reality.
›› I bring 10+ years of University studies, specialist, trauma-informed training and work experience in Psychology, Therapy, CBT and Mental Health Services;
›› A decade of running my own Coaching business supporting hundreds of people;
›› Training and experience teaching Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation;
›› An active commitment to my own development through ongoing training, mentoring and supervision.
›› My full commitment to you and my unwavering belief in your potential, during the time we work together and beyond.
I only work with a handful of 1:1 clients at a time so that my energy and attention is fully focused on you and the work we’re doing together.
›› In my sessions I use a unique blend of:
+ Inner exploratory work: self reflection, journaling, contemplation
+ Psychological expertise: guided by evidence-based psychological theory and techniques, grounded in Motivational Interviewing, Behaviour Change theory, Developmental Psychology, Cognitive Theory/CBT and Self Belief Coaching
+ Mind-body practices & Nervous System Regulation: Meditation and Breath-work, Movement, Mindfulness and Self Compassion tools - all tailored to each person.
+ Solution-Focused approach: While we give space to identifying what is at the root, working together means we always come back to how to get you from where you are now to where you want to be.
You + I:
We’re a team, you and I.
We work collaboratively, transparently and with great respect for our sacred coaching relationship.
Coaching with me can lead you to…
-
You are no longer driven by external validation and the approval of others. You do the things you say you want to do and take up space in the world in an intentional and aligned way.
-
You understand why fear has been leading the way and how to tune down the volume of your critical inner voice. You learn how to stop the self judgment and instead you build a supportive and loving relationship with yourself.
-
Reduce fear-based decision making and move towards heart-centered living. You know how to interrupt the negative mind chatter so you can be present in your life and relationships.
-
Identify the underlying psychological, societal and cultural factors that are at the root of how you think and behave. And build more helpful and empowering ways of being.
-
We work on not only moving through challenging experiences and complicated emotions, but also to learn how to receive the good things in your life: joy, love, support, community and everything you want to build more of.
-
Be equipped with the knowledge and tools to interrupt the vicious cycle of overgiving, overworking, overcompensating and putting everyone else’s needs above yours.
-
We don’t just talk about what you want - we actually create a pathway for you to go and DO THE THING. We prepare your nervous system to hold the expansion that happens (and the resulting self protective strategies, ie resistance) so that you can courageously walk the talk.
-
We make space for all of it. The parts of you that you’ve had to water down out of fear of being “too much” or “not enough’; the parts of you that gave you joy and meaning that you were conditioned to ignore or suppress. You learn to hold steady in the messy process of reclaiming who you are.
-
Work holistically to support your body, nervous system, mind and spirit to heal from the effects of and avoid burnout in the future.
-
As you dial down the noise from the expectations of others, past conditioning, your own critical mind and the narratives you were holding yourself to - you feel lighter and freer to be. To be the version of you that feels true, imperfectly messy and honest - and that version feels damn good.

Next steps
I understand that working together is a big commitment and I wish to offer you all the information you need to make an informed decision without urgency.
If you'd like us to consider working together, please book a time to have a brief chat together - free of charge. There is no expectation or commitment when you arrange a call with me - you can take your time after the call to decide what is best for you. If for any reason it is my professional opinion that working with me would not be supportive or appropriate, I will share this with you and aim to offer alternative suggestions/recommendations.
Love from past clients
“Coaching with Ariadne was one of the safest and most authentic experiences I’ve had.”
Ariadne is authentic, natural and competent in how she works as a coach. She is genuinely the best listener and facilitator and creates a space for comfortable exploration. She listens deeply and with such a care making you feel better, more seen and appreciated. With her guidance, always so respectful and client-centric, I was able to navigate an important life transition and get clearer about my needs, priorities and perspectives on both the problem and the solutions. I loved working with her!
Margherita, Nonprofit Development Specialist & Social Impact Consultant
“Before coaching, I was feeling helpless, desperate and broken.”
My experience working with Ariadne is nothing short of magical. I have gained so much clarity of myself just by indulging in sessions with her. Ariadne hold a person delicately and then leads them to a place of comfort with the same love and care. She has helped clear the grey clouds and let me see the horizons I can pursue all on my own. I keep going back to the teachings she has offered and they have become important stepping stones in my life. I now have a more balanced understanding of how to deal with difficult situations and foremost how to protect myself.
N.N
“I am earning double what I was earning 2 years ago.”
Before coaching I felt out of control and that life was happening to me rather then me guiding it. Working with Ariadne has been a supportive, transformative and inspiring experience. I have evolved in ways that I wasn’t sure were even possible at the start of the process. As a result I am earning double what I was earning 2 years ago, I took responsibility for my actions but also learnt not to berate myself for my feelings.

Pricing guidance
Offering options and making my work accessible forms part of my value system in how I run my business. As part of my active effort to do business better and move away from extractive practices, I operate a 3-tier pricing model on my 1:1 work on a trust basis. Capitalist ideals indicate paying as little as possible, while extracting the maximum (I appreciate sometimes that is necessary to survive within oppressive systems). Self assessed pricing asks that you consider your resources, capacity and relative privilege when choosing your rate.
I kindly ask that you select the Standard Rate when choosing to work together, if you are comfortable meeting your needs on a regular basis.
The Supported Rate is open to anyone who is currently unable to commit to the Standard Rate, due to financial insecurity - you will not be asked to provide proof or go through any process of selection for choosing this option.
If you are in a secure financial position, have wealth (personal/generational) and the option to make an additional contribution, or if your organisation is funding part of or the full amount of your coaching package, I ask that you select the Corporate/Contribution Rate, which allows me to keep offering more spots at the Supported Rate.
Concessions: If you believe that working together is something that would support you, but the pricing at any tier is prohibitive due to your circumstances, please reach out and we can discuss concession rates.
If you are unsure which rate to choose, I’m always happy to discuss together in our chat.
“I feel like the woman I was a year ago would be so proud of who I have become this year.
I truly feel like me, but without all the BULLSHIT.”

You’re here. It’s a big deal.
Working with me is a process of self exploration, of remembering, of uncovering and of letting go.

You learn to:
🌱 Respect and trust yourself fully.
🌱 Honour your humanness, your changing mind, your contrasts, your raw and vulnerable parts.
🌱 Feel empowered to take responsibility for your life, yet to release the need to keep everything under your control.
🌱 Be clear on your values, what’s important to you and how to make space in your life for the things that matter.
🌱 Understand this work never ends, because you’re always growing, always changing, always becoming.
🌱 Become your own mentor, your own compass, and know your way back home, to you.
