Coaching & Mentoring for real humans

Let’s create change that matters.

Welcome, I’m Ariadne Kapsali. I am an award-winning Therapeutic Coach, Supervisor for coaches and practitioners, Yoga and Meditation Teacher and a Mental Health professional. I have an MSc in Health Psychology, trained in CBT and over a decade of experience in clinical settings.

I specialise in helping brave, multifaceted humans with big hearts and big dreams to build deep self trust, navigate change and uncertainty and change your relationship to self doubt, so that you cultivate a life that brings meaning to you, your community and the world.

I also mentor trained space holders who are committed to deepening their skillset, and are led by values of integrity, ethical business practices and trauma-sensitive space holding.

Here’s what I believe:

Since leaving my clinical job in NHS Mental Health and Psychology back in 2015, I have spent the past decade supporting hundreds of people to create meaningful and sustainable change in their life, work and relationships.

My work is guided by my passion for brave, values-led and impactful space holding and is rooted in 5 key beliefs:

Embrace the messy: I believe that when we make space for the messy parts of being human - the fear, self doubt, “negative” emotions, the stuff we try not to look at - when we learn how to meet ourselves in the mess, is exactly where sustainable growth starts to occur.

Getting to the root: Knowing when to spend time unpacking our stories, narratives and histories in a contained and expertly held way, without getting stuck in overthinking spirals or thrown into survival mode, is a key aspect to breaking long held behavioural patterns and unhelpful beliefs.

Nothing changes without courage: Change is something you commit to, again and again through your choices. And change, my friend, does not happen overnight, because we naturally resist it. We fear change because it takes us out of our comfortable bubble and comes with loads of uncertainty. So changing the beliefs you’ve had since you were a child, the habits you keep coming back to, the ideals you hold yourself and the world to, takes real, freaking guts. And not everyone is willing to go there.

There’s no quick fix and no secret formula: This work takes time and requires commitment, effort and courage. I will not pretend to have the secret magic formula that gets you the immediate results. I am here to help you uncover your uniqueness and help you find the answers within yourself no matter what life throws at you. My sincerest hope is that you begin to see yourself whole.

Imperfect action: Courageous, intentional, small steps towards the things that give our lives meaning is an essential part of the journey. Sure big leaps are a great boost of confidence, but I’m more interested in how you show up in your life day-to-day.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Working with Ariadne opened me up to myself. Our time together enabled me to reconnect with myself, to find my purpose and identify what I was lacking in myself – with both practical advice and spiritual guidance. Ariadne helped me to become much more self aware and reflective with her unequivocal kindness, patience and understanding."

"Ariadne's therapeutic background and the way she combines this with her coaching work was just the perfect blend to trust that it was safe to really open things up to explore. That it was okay to look at the painful or messy parts. Always without judgement, always feeling so held. This intensive work together shifted so many things in me, I think it has forever shifted my internal voice too. I'm leaving so much more compassionate with myself, with much deeper trust in myself and with clearer sense of who I am."

"You have incredible skill at leading me through this transformational journey. You helped me identify and overcome a major limiting belief. You gave me incredible insights into who I am. You have catapulted me towards my dream life. Thanks you so so much! It was worth every penny – you should charge way more!"

Paul R
"Ariadne is a coaches coach! She is warm, down to earth, and supportive. I chose to work with her due to her passion for an ethical an industry and because of her holistic and grounded knowledge in psychology and wellness. I would absolutely recommend Ariadne to a friend or fellow coach looking for a combination of realness, rigour, and warmth. Especially someone looking to go on a inner journey and deepen their connection to self."

Love from past clients

“Ariadne has shown me it is possible to get what you want.”

When I first signed up for coaching, I was dealing with a lot of unresolved trauma, anger, fear and illness and felt like my whole life was in need of a revamp. During my process, my body has healed, I have met my perfect partner, found an incredible job, have been able to buy my own home totally independently; I feel more secure, more joyful, and more at ease, every day.

K.K.

“I wish I had found Ariadne earlier in life.”

Working with Ariadne has given me the tools to manage everyday problems I had been living with since a young age. Ariadne is a fantastic person to learn with; she is intuitive, knowledgeable, respectful, transparent and has a strong work ethic.

I would recommend coaching with Ariadne to any friend who is navigating uncertainty, who needs to take action or who would like to know themselves at a deeper level.

E.G.

“I have never felt as powerful and confident in myself.”

I sometimes begin to tell people that since working with Ariadne, I have transformed completely, and then I realise that that's not true. What's happened is that I have untangled and undone all the unhelpful and unhealthy patterns, and strengthened and focused on the beautiful things that were already there, so I'm not a new person, I'm exactly who I always was but without all the bullshit.
