Follow your own path with confidence – wake up excited every day

About me

Nothing is as powerful as seeing someone come into their own, find their path, dare to make a long-awaited change, or take a leap forward. By truly seeing another person, listening with presence, and asking the right questions, I act as a catalyst that helps this happen—more clearly, more easily, and more quickly. I want to guide others toward the insights that help them create a life and work that feel meaningful and true to them.

My own journey has been shaped by decades in academia—from doctoral student to researcher, teacher, and administrator. Even though, in my private life, I have always had a strong capacity to walk my own path and listen to my inner compass, in my professional role as a senior researcher, I never fully managed to crack the code of being both productive within the structures of academia and staying true to my own insights about how I would best conduct research. The university world was not always the place of growth and creativity I had envisioned, but it still gave me a deep understanding of both opportunities and challenges in pursuing knowledge and building a career.

Now, as a certified professional coach, I bring both my academic experience and my personal journey to support others. My hope is to help people find the clarity, insights, and courage to step into the life they long for—both privately and professionally.

I am a member of and have been certified by the International Coaching Federation, ICF.

Said about Gabriella

(most comments in Swedish)

”Gabriella är en nyfiken och skarp lyssnare som inte bara speglar dig utan kommer med egna tankar och analyser. Hon är öppen och bejakande. Hon håller ihop den långsiktiga processen och påminner dig om vad du tänkte i tidigare sessioner. På det sättet får du syn på din egen tankeprocess.”
Kristina, 49
”När tillvaron inte går ihop och man behöver prioritera mellan ”måste” och ”vilja” kan man behöva hjälp utifrån. Av någon neutral och konstruktiv. Den hjälpen fick jag genom coachning och samtal som stärkte mig att våga ta nya steg i livspusslet.”
Krister, 61
”In my process of pondering professional alternatives and coming to make a decision that felt right for me I found Gabriella particularly helpful because she was both open-minded and persistent, in helping me realize my options from varying perspectives.”
Eric
“Jag uppskattade den dedikerade tiden för mig, att provtrycka olika aspekter i mitt liv genom coachningen. Gabriella har en innerlig vilja att hjälpa mig att hitta lösningar inifrån mig.”
Sara, 47
“As a mentor, Gabriella has been incredible – an amazing listener who guided me to my own path without feeling the need to conform to others! I will benefit from it throughout my life.”
Linjie, 30
