Self-Design & Life Design Coaching
Whether you are looking for a change and transformation, it is time to change your stereotypes, routines and channel your attention in the direction where you want to go.
If you think: "I feel burned out", "I feel stuck", "I feel overwhelmed" , "I feel lost in life", "I don't know what to do with my life"or look for answers on "How to reduce stress", "How to calm down" , "How to cope with stress", "How to deal with big life changes" or ask "Why do I feel so anxious" or going through a difficult time coping with loss or being after a break up, design is the ultimate answer.
What We Investigate Together
Four Areas That Shape Your Own Path
1. How You Think
We’ll explore your beliefs, ingrained patterns, ideas about success, and the expectations that influence your decisions. What is truly yours, and what have you simply absorbed from the people and culture around you?
2. What Matters to You
We’ll look at your values, priorities, motivations, and what gives your life meaning.
It’s not only about what you want to achieve, but also why you want it and how you want to live.
3. What Possibilities You Have
We’ll use principles of design thinking — fresh perspectives, creative questions, and the exploration of alternatives. Instead of searching for one right answer, we’ll discover multiple possible paths.
4. How to Make Change Happen
We’ll turn new insights into concrete decisions and small experiments.
You don’t have to change your whole life at once. You can start with what makes sense right now.
Who Is This For...
For Those Who Want to Live Life on Their Own Terms
This programme is designed for people who reflect deeply on their lives and want to move beyond simply following a predetermined path.
This programme may be right for you if you:
-
Are at a crossroads in your personal or professional life.
-
Appear successful on the outside, but something no longer feels meaningful.
-
Are rethinking your priorities, identity or direction in life.
-
Have many possibilities ahead of you, but are unsure which path to take.
-
Want to understand yourself more deeply and make decisions with greater freedom.
-
Are looking for meaningful, lasting change that truly reflects who you are.
-
You don't need to have a clear goal. Sometimes, discovering what you really want is where the journey begins.
What You'll Gain
Clarity. New Possibilities. Your Own Direction.
The goal isn't to create a perfect life plan or become a better version of yourself according to someone else's standards.
Our work together can help you:
-
Gain a deeper understanding of your needs, values and patterns of thinking.
-
Recognise what holds you back and what opens up new possibilities.
-
Discover fresh perspectives on the situations you find yourself in.
-
Make decisions with greater confidence and a clearer sense of your priorities.
-
Turn abstract aspirations into concrete, achievable steps.
You don't need to have all the answers. What matters is learning to ask your own questions.

About Me.
My work brings together psychology, perception, meaning and design.
I studied Communication Design in the United Kingdom and Australia and have worked in international professional environments. For over 17 years, I have worked with people from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds.
Design is about how we think, perceive the world, construct meaning and discover new possibilities. I bring this perspective to my coaching practice. I am particularly interested in how our beliefs and patterns of thinking shape the lives we lead – and how we can consciously rethink and redesign them.

Life Design Coaching Sessions

I had some life coaching sessions with Emma last year on a regular basis. At the time when I started, I was going through a relatively challenging time in my life where my confidence and self esteem were at their lowest ever. I had no direction and I wasn't sure how to pull myself out. Emma worked with me to turn this around. She helped me to understand why I felt the way I felt, find my way through and rebuild. She gave me the tools I needed to implement processes that I can carry into other areas of my life. During our discussions, I felt completely understood and Emma empowered me to take back control and move forward with confidence and happiness. Simply talking to her made everything feel better at a time when I felt like everything had fallen apart. I am truly thankful to Emma for helping me find clarity, and I will confidently use everything she taught me as I move forward, taking comfort in knowing she is always there in times of need.

I have been working with Emma for four years now. She has a remarkable ability to naturally connect real-life situations from my work as a manager in the pharmaceutical industry with deeper questions about what truly matters to me and where I want to go.
Recognising my own patterns of thinking hasn't always been easy, but Emma has helped me see them from a different perspective.
She also gently encourages me to discuss my work in English, and surprisingly, this often helps me gain new insights and see connections I hadn't noticed before.
Our sessions have also taught me the importance of standing up for myself, building confidence in negotiations and not being afraid to discuss challenging topics in English.
I always look forward to our sessions.

Emma Dikyova's philosophy about life is not only porhayed within herwork, she lives it. Honesty, integrity and passion are words, which often come to mind,when one speaks of her. I have come to the realization that no matter what she decides to do, it would be done as if her life depended on it.
