Klaus Johansen - Coaching for Change - Life Coach London

I would highly recommend Klaus Johansen as a coach for change. He worked with all of our managers over a 3 month period, running 6 sessions with each of them, both face to face and online. I was so glad we invested in Klaus; all of the managers fed back what a worthwhile experience it was, saying the development they had experienced from his coaching both personally and professionally was invaluable and had impacted in a very positive way on many areas of their lives. They commented on his fantastic facilitation in the sessions and his ability to allow for the self-exploration in a very safe and reassuring way. He made them all feel at ease very quickly, he is a very personable person, and they really looked forward to the sessions, which they had initially been very nervous about. The depth of the coaching was at the participants’ pace and Klaus is very skilled and intuitive at working out what level to work at.I definitely noticed that the sessions increased our staff’s assertiveness and accountability within the workplace and they began using tools to help in areas of work such as prioritising, presenting, self-awareness and dealing with difficult situations. The coaching was a huge success and as a director, I am continuing to see the results from the invaluable work Klaus did with us. If I could, I’d have him on permanent standby to help us out with all of our lives!Eleanor Vale, Director and owner of Loudmouth Education & Training.

Working with Klaus over the past few years has been a real pleasure. On top of providing a safe space where I can talk about challenges and explore solutions, Klaus has helped me increase my confidence and feel comfortable in my own shoes.I spent so many years wishing I could be different, now I am happy to just be myself and this has had a very positive impact on my life and career.

Honestly Klaus was such an impactful life coach for me to have worked with. I really can't recommend him enough. He is an extremely patient coach and he creates a truly comfortable environment that allows you to speak openly and truthfully about any topic (without fear or shame). He has the ability to ask piercing questions that strike you, giving you a time to recognise new perspectives on your life, goals and dreams. I was at a poignant turning point in my life and he really allowed me to flesh out my decision to move to Germany - a decision I'm forever happy I took.Thank you Klaus if you're reading this!

Klaus is a great listener who uses incisive questioning and empathetic thinking to point me on the correct course. At several challenging points in my career, my conversations with him have been just what I’ve needed to take control of my personal and professional development and to pursue a more mindful and even minimalist approach to life in general. Klaus has a unique ability to draw out solutions during our conversations; it’s never forceful or forced. I’ve also appreciated Klaus’ goal-oriented approach; he encourages me to set meaningful and achievable goals for myself which he gently pushes me to achieve. I recommend Klaus’ approach to coaching without reservation.

Klaus has been a delight to work with. He has enabled me to have an incredibly clear, actionable, realistic and completely tailored plan for what I want to achieve, and clear steps on how to get there that allow me to hold myself accountable. He was able to uncover both my blockers and motivators, supporting me to really be authentic in my answers with no judgement. He guided me to step into these, using them to propel myself forwards and manage the times I may hold myself back. The support outside of our sessions - follow up emails with clear tasks and deadlines, reminders, and reviewing each session, was also incredibly beneficial, and again this approach was based on information I had given him regarding areas I struggle in. Klaus was very sensitive and thoughtful when I was experiencing some personal issues on the day of one of our sessions, which was really appreciated and enabled me to still get the most out of our time. Whilst being an absolute professional, it was also lovely to get to know Klaus as a person, and his sharing of his approach and own experience made me feel completely at ease with him. I look forward to updating you on my progress!

Klaus' approach is incredibly supportive in a gentle and tailored way. I have a huge appreciation for his time, insight and guidance. Highly recommend!

Klaus is an empathetic listener who works hard to create a safe space for you to be authentically yourself. A lot of my challenges in life as a neurodivergent queer person come from the mismatch between how I see things and how the world sees them. But working with Klaus allows my differences to become my greatest asset, because Klaus is always attentive to what works for me and what doesn't. He has an unwavering curiosity about what my process is, because that is the process I will be able to stick to. His style makes the client a central voice in how the sessions are designed, and this co-creative process, for me, feels like a microcosm of my creating my authentic life outside of sessions as well.

Klaus has such a gentle manner but still manages to be authorative and empowering when guiding others. Our work together was brief but he still made a lasting impression on me and I would recommend him to anybody looking for life coaching or mentoring services in the area.

Klaus has been a wonderful life coach for me. He has such a calming and reassuring energy I felt instantly comfortable sharing my personal challenges with him. In a relatively short amount of time he's helped me to gain new insights about my behaviour, get clearer about what I want and how to communicate it and shift the way I react and relate to others in a more empowering way. As a result, I'm making positive changes in my relationship and feeling much more content and in control. It's handy that he's also based in East London and we can do some of our coaching sessions in Victoria Park!

Klaus has really boosted my confidence in dealing with my emotions and how I express them in situations and to people I find challenging. This is not only in my private life, but also as a business owner. He listens, gets to the point and gently guides me to find new patterns of thinking and alternative actions which are more beneficial for me over time. When he challenges me, it is with care and a bit of humour, so it is doesn´t feel judgemental or threatening. His support during the pandemic was especially important for my resilience and mental wellbeing. Thank you, Klaus! You are a great life coach and I’m looking forward to our continuous conversations!
