I kept performing while running on empty long before I knew how to name it. That experience, and my work as a psychologist, shape how I coach.

“… Combined with deep, reflective homework and a comprehensive deep-dive questionnaire, I felt instantly supported, secure, and excited for the journey ahead. If you want a future-forward coach who combines structural brilliance with deep inquiry, look no further.”

Every professional hits moments that test them: setbacks, uncertainty, relentless demands. What separates people who thrive from people who struggle isn't talent. I know this not only as a coach, but as someone who spent more than two decades at the intersection of psychology, human performance and personal change, and who had to rebuild her own foundation before she could help anyone else rebuild theirs.
I'm a qualified psychologist (Dipl.-Psych.), trained at the Technical University of Braunschweig, with experience in clinical, organisational and coaching settings. I'm the founder of SMITH-Consult and the creator of START-with-Gudrun!, and I have run my own businesses for thirty years.
Business owners with a small team: the ones who have grown past 'just me', where every decision now affects people who count on them.
Not Solo Founders
Not solo founders still finding their footing.
The Core Focus
The ones in between, carrying more than they're letting on, including to themselves.
Not Large Companies
Not companies large enough to have an HR department handling this already.
My coaching doesn't stack coping strategies on top of an exhausted system. It starts with the mechanism, not the mood: the psychological research behind why a decision, a habit or a spiral is happening, and what interrupts it.
See where you really stand.
Name what is, and what you can control.
Plan a new route with clear priorities.
Take the first steps and make them stick.
“Because 'push through it' stops working long before most people admit it has.”
Because grit without resilience doesn't prevent burnout. It delays it.
Because most stress advice treats the symptom, not the structural problem underneath it.
Because you don't need another framework to follow. You need one built around how you actually think.
