Andrea Szentgyorgyi is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her professionalism and vast skillset.

She offers more than just a listening ear… she provides clarity, direction, and real solutions. As an integrative therapist and coach, she blends therapeutic techniques like hypnosis and EMDR with coaching strategies rooted in NLP and solution focused methods, creating personalized approaches that spark meaningful change.

She began her journey in 2019, when clients came to her not only with emotional struggles but also with questions about careers, finances, and life decisions. Realizing that traditional therapy alone wasn’t enough, she expanded her expertise to provide a more holistic, results driven experience. Today, her coaching is known for its adaptability, combining mindfulness, CBT, and hypnotherapy to help clients build confidence, overcome blocks, and cultivate a resilient “CAN DO” mindset.

She believes that growth must address the whole person… not just professional goals but also emotional well being, balance, and self trust. With a flexible, integrative style and a commitment to accountability, she guides her clients to transform challenges into opportunities and create lasting progress. Here is what she said…

Meet Life Coach Andrea Szentgyorgyi:

Name: Andrea Szentgyorgyi

Pillar: The Mind

Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to change their perspective, gain clarity, and adopt a “CAN DO” mindset.

How they can help: By using various tools and techniques like CBT, Hypnosis, and mindfulness, as well as questionnaires and goal setting frameworks, just to name a few.

First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?

We are doing well, however, we all still feel some aftereffects of the pandemic.

I see in my clients those who might have lost friendships or their self confidence.

I am doing well and enjoying that life is back to normal.

How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

The pandemic affected everyone.

The pandemic has had a profound impact on people worldwide in numerous ways.

Many clients experienced increased anxiety, depression, and stress due to isolation, fear of illness, and economic uncertainties.

The constant shift in daily routines has also contributed to mental health crises.

Social distancing measures altered the way people interact, resulting in a decline in face to face interactions and an increased reliance on virtual communication.

This shift has affected relationships, with some feeling more isolated while others have found new ways to connect.

Many faced job losses or reduced income, leading to financial strain.

Small businesses, like mine, were particularly hard hit, leading to changes in employment and consumer behaviour.

The pandemic heightened awareness around personal health and hygiene.

People became more proactive about addressing health issues, with an increased interest in both mental well being and physical fitness.

The necessity to adapt led to innovations in work, education, and social activities.

Remote working and online education became the norm, which could have lasting effects on how we approach work and learning in the future.

In many cases, communities came together to support each other, exemplifying resilience and solidarity.

Local initiatives to help those in need emerged, strengthening community bonds.

Overall, the pandemic reshaped daily life, highlighting both the vulnerabilities and strengths of individuals and communities.

The long term effects are likely to continue unfolding in various aspects of society.

The pandemic affected me negatively financially, most clients lived in uncertainty and did not want to pay for therapy.

On a personal level, as always, I used the time to do something positive and enrolled at an online Spanish university to learn coaching.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

We must live in the present and make the most of every moment we can.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

As an integrative therapist and coach, it means that I combine different therapy techniques, including hypnosis and EMDR, to provide personalised therapy for my clients.

When I started working with clients in 2019, I soon realised that my therapy style is solution focused.

Everyone is unique and needs an approach best suited to their personality and the issue at hand, however, people do not want to wait years for a change.

Some of my clients brought questions to the therapy room about their finances, careers, and life choices.

They often needed ideas and advice, and not only a listening ear.

That is why I decided to study NLP and coaching at a Spanish open university, so I could also help these clients.

As this training was part of my MBA course, I also learnt how to assist managers and leaders when they felt stuck in their role.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

Moving to the UK was difficult.

I would not call it an obstacle, but I had to rebuild my life from scratch.

It was 20 years ago, and I have never looked back.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I use various strategies to innovate coaching clients, such as:

1. Creating personalised coaching plans.

I tailor their sessions to meet each client’s unique needs, goals, and learning styles.

2. Using the first consultation or questionnaires.

I gather relevant information about their challenges and aspirations.

3. Incorporating digital tools.

I advise on E learning courses or offer video calls to save time and enhance accessibility and engagement.

4. Using an integrative approach.

I combine techniques from various therapy methodologies and disciplines, such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioural techniques CBT, or even hypnosis, to provide a more comprehensive coaching experience.

5. Focusing on accountability and responsibility.

I encourage clients to take responsibility for their own progress, including regular check ins, self reflection exercises, and goal setting frameworks.

6. Setting challenges.

I use challenges to increase motivation and engagement.

7. Asking for regular feedback.

I encourage clients to share their thoughts about the coaching process, which helps me adapt and innovate my approach flexibly based on their insights.

8. Adopting a holistic approach.

I consider factors beyond professional goals, such as personal well being, work and life balance, and emotional intelligence, to ensure that clients are growing in all aspects of their lives.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

I employ an integrative approach tailored to the client’s specific needs.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

A positive mindset and a “CAN DO” attitude.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

Hypnotherapy is one of my specific tools.

It is beneficial for building self esteem and self confidence, addressing imposter syndrome, public speaking, and many other common coaching topics.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

Stay in the moment!

The past is past, the future isn’t here yet.

There’s no use worrying about it.

Enjoy the smallest things in life to the full.

When you drink tea, savour it with all your senses.

When you are out walking, listen to the birds singing.

Stay present.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

To be flexible.

When you are rigid in your thoughts and habits, it is challenging to manage stress, obstacles, and difficulties.

But if you are flexible, you see opportunities.

Your final thoughts?

Investing in coaching represents a significant commitment to personal growth and development.

It can significantly enhance effectiveness and cultivate high performance and engagement by focusing on critical areas such as leadership, problem solving, public speaking, management styles, communication, and stress management.

As the business world continues to evolve, the ability to adapt and grow is paramount.

Coaching offers a comprehensive framework and actionable strategies.
