COACHING
You need support?
To take the next step on your personal journey? Is it (again) time to face and deal with the repeating patterns and conflicts in your life?
Are you looking for a moment to reflect and make sense of what you feel and think?
Is there a curiosity to explore inner fragments and gain new understandings of your blind spots, secrets, and struggles?
You need to find someone you trust enough to accompany you — someone who can safely hold space for you, help you listen to the messages from your body, and support you in setting a direction towards your goals. You need a guide who is not afraid to challenge you, and who can hold both your pain and your biggest dreams.
What I offer
Based on Process Oriented Psychology and Council Guide Training I offer a somatic (body awareness based) and holistic guidance to deepen your self-understanding, self-balance and to strengthen your stand in both personal and professional areas.
What is Process Work?
Process Work, developed by physicist and Jungian analyst Arnold Mindell, is a therapeutic and awareness-based approach that expands Jungian psychology into body experience, relationships, and social systems.
​
Like Jung, Mindell believed that dreams, symptoms, and inner conflicts are meaningful expressions of the unconscious. But he went a step further: instead of focusing only on dreams or inner images, he began to notice how the psyche also communicates through the body (symptoms, movement, body sensations), through relationships (conflicts, attraction, projection), and through collective dynamics (group tensions, social unrest).
​
Process Work views all these expressions as part of an unfolding “process”, a deeper intelligence that tries to guide personal and collective transformation.
As a therapeutic practice, Process Work helps people follow subtle signals and experiences that are often ignored or suppressed. It combines dialogue, body awareness, movement, dreamwork and imagination. The therapist does not “fix” the client, but accompanies them in exploring what is trying to emerge, even if it appears as pain, anxiety, conflict or chaos
​
I love to work Process Oriented because it is a non-judgemental, creative, playful, in-depth and very often surprising art of discovering oneself.
BIO
Personal Profile
I am openminded, ambitious creative and sensitive. I grew up with a set of values including living with compassion, being humble, challenging the status quo, achieving the goals I set for myself and learning as much as possible each day.
I speak fluently englisch, german and danish. I lived in 4 different countries, and I worked with a big amount of complexity within the projects, the contexts and the cultures I have been part of. I have learned to navigate through difficulties and uncertainties, which has made me able to stay aware of meaningful and healthy synergies within systems and groups. I am an educated yoga teacher and ski teacher.
What is Council Guide Training?
Council Guide Training is based on knowledge that is thousands of years old, called the Delicate Lodge Teachings. These teachings has been passed down by elders from indigenous Mayan Indians, and have been taught to me by White Eagle Woman, the current Elder of the tradition.
This ancient wisdom contains many medicine wheels and carries a deep understanding of how humans and human tribes stay healthy, balanced and connected to nature.
As a Council Guide I work with some of the wheels of the Delegate Lodge Teachings. Examples:
-
Wheel of balance and Self-relationship.
-
Ring of Power - to harness our emotions and to choose more consciously how to respond to a difficult situation.
-
Four Attentions - for heightening focus and awareness of your thoughts.
-
Four Elements and four Human Elementals.
Testimonials
Keren Jackson
Working with Sidsel has been a transformative process. Having gone through years of talk therapy, I can’t believe all the time and money wasted! While talk therapy has its place, process work facilitated a space that allowed me to re-find parts of myself I’d long lost and forgotten; and integrate them into who I am today. Whether you’re on the verge of a breakdown, or curiously looking to explore yourself, I couldn’t recommend doing process work with Sidsel more.
“Sidsel hat mir geholfen Themen auseinander zu nehmen und in unterschiedliche Aspekte einzutauchen, zu spüren und andere Perspektiven einzunehmen. Ihr echtes Interesse, ihre Empathie und die Gabe sich voll und ganz auf den Prozess einzulassen, ergänzt durch einen grossen Methodenkoffer, machen aus ihr einen grossartigen Coach, mit der ich gerne wieder arbeiten werde. Danke dir liebe Sidsel!”

Sidsel hat die Gabe, sich schnell und präzise in die Situation des Gegenübers einzufühlen. Sie stellt Fragen, die es mir ermöglichen, an die Essenz meiner Themen zu gelangen. Ich liebe es, mit Sidsel zu arbeiten.
“Sidsel has taken me on an incredible exploration of what it means to be a man. Her masterful navigation allowed me to dive deep into my soul and consciousness to uncover some profound insights. I got to connect with my (hidden) autistic self, to learn how to be the father for myself I never had, to understand how and why I relate to women from a place of fear and to move to trust instead, to begin breaking free from the prison of perfection and a sense of scarcity around time. No wonder my heart began to bloom again during that time as I began to embrace all of me, the good, the bad and the ugly”

Working with me
It is common to start with a short call to ask questions and for both of us to get a sense of whether working together feels right.
​
Each session lasts 60 minutes. I recommend a series of 6–8 sessions when working on a specific topic, to allow for a thorough and deep process to unfold.
​
In the final sessions, we take time to consciously harvest the learnings of the whole journey. If you are interested, I can also share the process notes I have taken throughout the sessions, so you have something tangible to take with you.
​
I work in English, German and Danish.
​
The price ranges from 60–150 CHF, depending on your income and life situation.
