Overcoming Depression
When you feel depressed there is some good news as well: you haven't always felt like this. This means that there is no need to always keep on feeling like this. It can get better. You can feel good again. Please read some of the touching stories of those who received support from Vitalis Coaching & Therapy and found a way to heal and re-connect with their own care-free self.
“A huge weight has lifted off my shoulders.”
“At the most difficult time in my life I have booked several coaching sessions with Karin. I was quite depressed as my boyfriend has died of cancer the year before and I could not really see how to move forward. The sadness I was carrying with me was at times so overwhelming that it was weighing me down and preventing me from doing things I wanted to do. Also did I have issues with myself that I could not reach on my own.
From the first session on I felt very comfortable with Karin. She is a very warm-hearted person and helped me through my problems step by step in a very gentle way. Not once did she judge me and that enabled me talk about everything that was bothering me. The most important aspect she discovered was that I was not very kind to myself. I was surprised by this as I was not aware of it and it turned me around completely. She taught me that there is a way out of depression and you can turn negativity around into something very positive. After just a few sessions with her I was getting better and could finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I would not have believed this, but it was not feeling like hard work as Karin made it so easy and simple for me. She has got the ability to make you see for yourself where you get stuck.
My life has changed so much for the better. I am a much happier person now, I do not walk with my head down any longer and be able to reach out and as a result made new friends which feels so good. I found myself again and feel balanced. I have got a different outlook on life and feel I can determine the way I want to go. Nowadays, when I am feeling sad, I am able to accept it and know it is ok to feel like this without falling into a deep state of depression.
I just know that I can smile again and be able to take things easier. A huge weight has lifted off my shoulders. I cannot thank Karin enough for making me whole again as a person. I am so grateful to her, she really is an amazing person.”

“I didn't realise just how much I put the happiness of others before my own.”
“The life coaching sessions I've been having from Karin have been absolutely fantastic. They are really helping me to find my true identity and direction in my life.
I have felt lost for quite a while and the coaching sessions with Karin feel like I'm on a journey to find myself. I didn't realise just how much I put the happiness of others before my own and how much this has been affecting me.
I tend to remember my dreams quite often and Karin has been helping me to understand the messages my dreams are giving me. I feel that during every session I'm discovering something new about myself.”

“The person I was a couple of months ago is a memory!”
“Never ever felt like being in a black tunnel? Trying to find the end while looking for a light that would never show? That’s how I was feeling! The life coaching sessions I had with Karin helped me to realise that no tunnel exists, I just had my hands in front of my eyes. She helped me discover that the real strength is within me, nobody else can decide about my life apart from me. She helped me to take ownership of my future by letting go of my past and living in the present.
As a result of our professional coaching sessions I finally took the courage to study again and to organise my life in order to be more balanced, and it is working. I am at the beginning of a fantastic path. I am so grateful to her; she is absolutely talented and dedicated. I was completely new into the coaching world and she introduced it to me and guided me in a friendly, professional way. The person I was a couple of months ago is a memory! I recommend anyone to do life coaching sessions with Karin; she will be able to help you find the right keys to open the doors and make the light come through. Karin I am to you Eternally Grateful!”

“Karin's coaching method is interactive yet not intrusive, making me feel safe talking to her.”
“In the past few years my life circumstances had rendered me an emotive, hopeless and lethargic person, affecting my business as much as my family life. My sense of self worth had been reduced to zero. My main outcome of receiving personal life coaching was to regain my energy and restore to my former self, with the hope to start rebuilding my carrier as a shiatsu therapist.
Karin's coaching method is interactive yet not intrusive, making me feel safe talking to her. Her approach is to the point and her questions were like bulbs lighting from within during each session. This helped me to see light at the end of the tunnel and access my best inner resources. But most importantly I got motivated to re-build myself.
Now, three months on, I have started seeing clients again, hardly ever run out of energy and motivation and always remember that our natural state of being is to be happy! Thank you Karin for all your expertise, but even more so for your unconditional love and compassion.”
