Sophie Lörius
I am a German-Canadian who has navigated two cultures and embraced continuous self-exploration. Born in Germany, I spent 20 formative years in Canada, fostering a bicultural identity. I experienced a surprising reverse culture shock upon returning to Germany just prior to Covid-19. This period of reevaluation and adaptation equipped me to empathize more deeply with those facing transitions and questioning their place in the world.
My journey is marked by a lifelong drive for growth. To me, growth means embracing challenges, learning from my mistakes, healing from past experiences, and living true to my values. This process, though often challenging and emotional, has brought me closer to my true self. It allows me to use my resources wisely and live my passion.
My approach
I am a DGSF-certified Systemic Coach based in Berlin. My coaching approach is personalized and supportive, providing a safe space where my clients can gain fresh perspectives and rediscover their inner strengths. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own struggles and journey, and my role is to facilitate self-exploration.
I offer focused 60-90 minute sessions, allowing for in-depth exploration of each unique situation using systemic coaching methods. This approach enables my clients to uncover resources and solutions they might not have realized existed. It is important to me with this solution-oriented approach, that my clients find a way to move forward with clarity, ease, and continue to build a life that feels authentic to them.
Professional background
I hold a Master’s degree in Business Psychology and am a DGSF-certified systemic coach. I have over 3.5 years of experience as a Corporate Health Consultant and Systemic Coach, and 3.5 years of experience as a Crisis Worker. My professional education includes a 400+ hour on-site systemic coaching certification, providing me with extensive practical knowledge and skills. My background in business psychology equips me with a deep understanding of human behavior, communication, and personal development. This blend of academic knowledge and real-world experience enriches my coaching practice, enabling me to support clients effectively through their personal and professional challenges.
My own quest for belonging and stability in a changing world, coupled with my professional expertise, makes me a compassionate and insightful coach.
I have lived in Berlin since 2019, and I continue to embrace the city’s vibrant, multicultural environment.
I work in both English and German, offering both in-person and online sessions.
