Viorica Barbu

Hello! I am an International Educator, Mindfulness Life Coach, and Yoga Teacher dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of modern life with resilience, clarity, and a deep sense of self-compassion.

1) 1:1 and Group Coaching
In a world that often demands constant productivity, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space—a sanctuary where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

My coaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every person is naturally resourceful, creative, and whole. You are not a "problem to be fixed," but a person to be understood and supported. My role is to act as your co-pilot; while you are in the driving seat, I hold up the map and help you explore the terrain of your inner world.

My Experience & Methods:
I am an ICF trained coach and I integrate active listening, powerful questioning, and empathetic reflection. In our sessions, we will explore the what, the who, and the how. We won’t just talk about what to do; we will explore the deeper connections to your identity and your path. My sessions are highly collaborative and tailored to your unique pace and needs. Whether you are a professional facing high-pressure environments, a student navigating university stress, or someone seeking deeper personal growth, I am here to hold space for your thoughts and feelings and for your core values to emerge.

What Our Coaching Sessions Look Like:
We combine practical goal-setting with deep internal work. Using Mindfulness and Compassion-focused practices, alongside Powerful Questions, you will be empowered to:

- Understand the Inner Critic: Move away from harsh self-judgment toward a supportive internal dialogue.
- Prevent Burnout: Learn to recognize your limits and build sustainable self-care habits.
- Gain Clarity: Navigate life transitions or professional crossroads with a calm, present mind.
- Take Aligned Action: Move toward your goals in a way that feels authentic, not forced.

Format:
Sessions are conducted online, offering you the comfort and privacy of your own space. I offer a free initial 15-minute discovery call to ensure our personalities and ways of working match, as the relationship between coach and client is the foundation of all progress.

2) Yoga and Meditation Classes for beginners.

3) General English tutoring for school students and adults.
I have worked in education for over 19 years, in a variety of school systems in Romania, England, China, and Thailand. I have taught General English, prepared students for IELTS and CAE exams, taught Language Acquisition and Language and Literature in IB International Schools, and Oral English to University Students. I also trained English Teachers for one year in China.

Our classes will be tailored to your needs. A needs assessment ill be done at the beginning and we will co-create a personalised plan for your learning.
