About me – Marina Colombo

“We have two lives: the second begins when we realize we only have one‘ ’(Confucius)

My second life begins with a ruinous car accident that changed my life, but for the better!

From my first life I brought with me knowledge of the world and effective methods of communication, interest in the human being and his well-being.

I got to know myself better and understand how to identify resources and effective solutions to regain my well-being.

The desire to share as much as possible what I learned during this long journey led me to become a life coach and to accompany you to meet your deep existential aspirations but also to support you in difficult times.

You will be accompanied with respect and empathy, with methods adapted to your specific case, from proactive coaching to creative emotional expressions of art therapy, through the approach of positive psychology and emotional intelligence.

I propose you a positive and empathetic support in line with my approach, which is mainly focused on achieving your emotional balance.

I receive you in Brussels, in the district of the European Institutions (near Roind Point Schuman). I practice in French, English and Italian.

My approach:

• A method of empathetic and proactive coaching which aims to make you aware of the issues that concern you but also the resources you have ,to identify the resolution and exit ways (short therapies of 10 to 15 sessions followed with possible follow-up sessions);
• The use of art therapy practices that promote creative expression linked to emotions, thoughts, sensations, needs, memories , and which is necessary to achieve and maintain a lasting emotional balance;
• Body expression with the use of movement as a non-verbal medium that releases emotions, moods, feelings and thoughts.
