About Paulina

I am a coaching psychologist working one-one and with groups. I specialise in depth work and experiential learning. My main areas of work in business are wellbeing and thriving under pressure, intra and interpersonal business relationships and team functioning, communications, managing change well, and leadership development. I have a professional passion for one-one coaching, having had the privilege to travel along side many people in their professional and personal journeys and having helped them with a rich variety of issues through leadership development through facing and dealing with some inconvenient truths to achieving heartfelt goals. My experience spans repeat business with multi nationals, local authorities and NGOs and I have worked in the UK, C&EE and South Africa.

With my favourite specialism of working in nature, I help individuals and groups digest, make conscious, and put to practical personal and business use, the huge benefit of learning directly from our experience in the unpredictable wild. The fresh perspectives and wisdom that nature offers, which are often both challenging and profound, lead to fundamental and sustainable change.

My experience is that it is in wilderness that we can most profoundly understand personal, corporate and global sustainability, and develop the skill and attitude sets to put this learning into practice. Earth sustainability and corporate social responsibility are particular interests.

Personal coaching and personal development workshops are an integral and treasured part of my work portfolio.

Personal passions include nature, especially the Ashdown Forest in my home county of East Sussex where I run regular wellbeing walks, and the iMfolosi wilderness, KwaZuluNatal, South Africa, and South Africa. 

I am in the process of setting up the Wild Heart Foundation, working with previously disadvantaged South Africans in developing confidence, leadership and trainer skills, and conservation.

Other passions include opera, arts and crafts and dance,  and I am learning Zulu.
