The „Growing into yourself” program

A guided six-session process. A space to build self-trust and a deeper understanding of your own needs, discover your own path, and step into adulthood with greater calm and confidence. With gentleness and respect for your own pace.

Who is this process for?

The world of young people is difficult today. The times of technology bring us closer but also they zoom us out from others. In the world of possibilities, it sometimes seems that they are lacking. Loneliness takes its toll and often leads us to distant islands, disconnected from others and from ourselves. Where is our influence – we wonder.
In work and discussions with young people, there is often a need to dig deeper, to understand not only the surrounding world, but also oneself in the world.

With all the knowledge about the development of the brain of young people and the changes taking place in their minds, I am leaning over the fact that young people need a guidepost.

The most important answers come from within

Not every answer comes immediately. Sometimes it takes time, space to pause, and the courage to look inward with greater curiosity and awareness.

When we better understand our emotions, needs and values, it becomes easier to make decisions and choose a path that truly feels our own.

These are skills that stay with us for life. They help us navigate uncertainty, regain a sense of calm, and avoid measuring our worth solely by grades, other people’s opinions or achievements.

I believe that when young people know themselves and learn to draw on their own strengths, they step into adulthood with greater confidence, resilience and inner calm.

With all my heart, I believe these are skills worth teaching just as much as mathematics or foreign languages.

When might this programme be right for you?
In the area of career path

„A tailor-made career”

If your young adult:

is unsure of their career path and would like to discuss it with someone who can guide them to more clarity

is completely unsure which field of study to choose and why

feels a lot of tension related to learning and cannot cope with pressure or stress

feels lost and chaotic about their future profession

is unaware of their strengths and motivations.

And in fact, they:
would like to talk through their ideas for life with someone and have more clarity
want to explore different possibilities in the context of choosing a field of study and a future profession in order to make an informed choice
would like to see what obstacles stand in the way of achieving the goal of moving forward
want more ease and peace of mind in exam preparation and confidence in what they are doing
would like to know and understand themselves, and let go of what does not serve.
In the area of conscious living

„Me and my real influence”

If your young adult:

is unsure of himself/herself and feels afraid of the opinion of others

has many unsupportive beliefs

excessive thinking and worrying take away his/her joy of life

has a problem in a specific peer or other relationship, which keeps them awake at night

cannot see their life from the perspective and their impact on it

is lost and needs support in making changes

does not know or does not like himself/herself, and does not really know what to do about it.

And in fact, they:
want to empower themselves and express authentically and freely
want to stand by their side and change what does not support them
want to come to terms with themselves and with the world – in joy and lightness
want to feel good among colleagues and build lasting friendships
would like to take a closer look at different areas of their life and see what can work better
need support in making change
would like to get to know themselves better and learn to recognize their true needs.

My approach

Coaching is a meeting and is about how to accompany another person:
in discovering what is important to THEM,
in what they miss,
and how they can have more access to what they need – in their daily life, at work, in relationships.
The programme is built on a safe, respectful and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to explore themselves with curiosity rather than judgement.

Through conversations, practical activities and guided reflection, students develop greater self-awareness, strengthen communication skills and learn to better understand their emotions, needs and values.

Rather than providing ready-made answers, the programme encourages young people to think independently, discover their own strengths and build confidence in making choices that reflect who they are.

The aim is not to change students, but to help them better understand themselves, strengthen relationships and develop practical skills that support both their wellbeing and everyday life.

Through the programme, students have the opportunity to:

develop greater self-awareness and confidence
recognise their strengths and personal resources
better understand their emotions, needs and values
strengthen communication and relationships
make thoughtful decisions about their future
build resilience and approach challenges with greater confidence

What will the step-by-step work with me look like?

Dear Parents,

I will answer your questions about coaching, topics, and practical matters by email or phone.
You may ask: kontakt@annagapinska.com

Then I will send your young adult a coaching form – about strengths, goals, challenges, habits.

Then we will meet for a free introductory session with your young adult – 30 minutes online and check what needs do they have for the coaching process, what they want to work on, what they need support for.

I will help them to set goals for the coaching process.

We will talk about the coaching process and what our meetings will look like.

We will discuss the principles of coaching work and the course of the session.

I will answer questions about the process that your young adult wants answered.

They will learn what a cooperation contract looks like to make it effective, safe and supportive.

During the session we will work online for 60 minutes.

At the session, I use my skills as a coach and mentor.

Sessions take place on the platform Google Meet, or by arrangement.

I work with high school students and university students.

I work in Polish and English.

What your young adult can expect at the session:

Z
support and safety
Z
reaching their potential, autonomy and agency
Z
confidentiality and openness
Z
partnership and authenticity
Z
tasks and steps leading to decisions and actions.

Coaching is not psychotherapy and is not a substitute for psychotherapy. It is designed to explore and reconcile with experiences to explain what really matters to you and to make decisions in line with your values.

Opinions about working with me

Mrs. Ania,
Thank you for the report and for all the sessions. It was an opportunity for me to stop for a moment and define priorities. Thanks to your questions and suggestions, I looked inside myself, which I did not have the opportunity to do in the rush of life. Your empathy and energy made me trust and open up right away, which allowed me to be fully honest, and I think this is the most important thing in coaching.

After the sessions, I became more confident and stopped being afraid of failures and rejection. Thanks to this, I will certainly defend my own opinion more often and stand up for myself.

I also broke through in trying new things and making new friends. I also discovered a good career path for me. I learned to manage my time – duties and pleasures. I am extremely happy after these sessions, and I have gained confidence.

Przemyslaw B. (15 years old)

As a coach and trainer, Ania is a real professional, a powerful motivating force, a real, fully objective mentor. Ania is an extremely inspiring person who can find a common topic with everyone. In addition to being full of warmth and empathy, she keeps her feet firmly on the ground and quickly becomes an example for those who interact with her.
Since I used Ania’s services as a career coach, and in a way also as a life coach, I have felt positive effects and energy to this day. I owe it to Ania to build my self-esteem and greater self-confidence as a valuable and reliable employee and professional, which was not an easy task. Ania helped me believe in my strengths and re-see the values that are important to me, which are necessary to find the right career path. Thanks to Ania, I have found many of my talents, and thanks to a joint in-depth analysis of my capabilities, I have developed new, more precise ideas and a plan for their implementation, which I am implementing step by step. I am grateful that I came across Ania as a career coach, who was not afraid to counter and bring me down to earth. I highly recommend Ania to everyone, both those who are just at the beginning of their careers or have lost themselves somewhere on its winding paths. Together you will surely succeed!

Questions and answers

How much time should I invest between sessions?

Tasks between sessions involve observations or reflections, but also specific steps.
We set them together, depending on your resources and the pace at which you want to follow.
What if it turns out that this work is not for me?
Both parties have the right to withdraw from cooperation by agreement, at any time, presenting a reason. I invite you to join the conversation if at any point you are not comfortable about the direction our coaching sessions are headed or you do not get what you need from coaching so that we can correct the course.
