I had a coaching session with Gudrun Smith today and from the onset she created a very warm friendly environment. The session delved into powerful insight, thought provoking and very challenging avenues with inspired action and nervous excitement.
She knows her stuff and is very learned from the onset. The energy Gudrun carries is amazing and passion for her work and her clients are clear.
She is very resilient and her very journey, her success and determination speaks volumes.
Wishing you much success
With gratitude

Gudrun helped me to understand what triggered me to stay in this stressful situation with destructive behaviour.

I enjoyed the tips and strategy to try from Gudrun. I look forward to putting them into practice to see if they work for me.

Working with psychologist and life coach Gudrun has been an absolute game-changer from day one. I opted into her 12-session package, and our very first onboarding session was a masterclass in the future of life coaching. She maps out your journey using a brilliant 'GPS' framework that lets you know exactly where you are and where you are headed. What I love most is her future-forward, visual approach—we co-created a live mindmap of our session using Boardmix, which is an incredible asset for anyone who processes things visually or needs help organizing scattered thoughts. 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.

How often do we meet for coaching sessions?
Grounded + Rising Coaching has 6 sessions, and each one is a single 100-minute sitting. We agree the rhythm together in the Clarity Call, based on your workload and how much time you need between sessions to try things out. Between sessions you get worksheets and tools to apply what we work on in your business.
What is your cancellation & rescheduling policy?
Sessions can be rescheduled free of charge up to [24/48] hours before the appointment. Later cancellations or missed appointments [are charged / cannot be rescheduled]. If something unexpected comes up, just write to me and we will find a solution.
How are confidentiality and client data handled?
What you tell me stays between us. I only collect the data I need to book and run our sessions, and I handle it in line with European data protection law (GDPR). Details are in the Privacy Policy linked in the footer. In group coaching, participants are asked to keep each other's contributions confidential.
What should I prepare for our first meeting?
You don't need to prepare anything. Come as you are. If it helps, think about what is taking most of your energy right now and what you would like to be different in three months. We start from where you actually are, not from a perfect brief.
Is this coaching or therapy?
This is coaching, not therapy. Coaching focuses on your current situation, your decisions and your next steps. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. I am a psychologist, so I can tell when someone needs a different kind of support. In that case I will say so openly and point you in the right direction.
Who is this coaching for?
It is for owners of small businesses with a team of about 2 to 10 people. If you are carrying the pressure of decisions, people and money, and your plans keep colliding with reality, this is for you. It is not designed for solo founders or for large corporate teams.
Do I have to be in burnout to work with you?
No, and I'd rather you didn't wait that long. The coaching is for owners who still function but want to stay steady and decide clearly under pressure, before things break.
What is the GPS model?
A navigation system doesn't blame you for a wrong turn, it recalculates. The GPS model applies the same idea to planning, stress and decisions, in four stages: Assess, Accept, Recalculate and Advance. We work through them in the coaching, using your real business situation.
Is coaching available online or in person?
Online worldwide, via video call, in English or German.
What is the difference between 1:1 and group coaching?
1:1 coaching is fully tailored to you and your business. Group coaching takes place in a small group of 6 to 15 people, so you also learn from other owners facing similar challenges. The structure is the same in both formats: 6 sessions, each a single 100-minute sitting.
What happens in the free Clarity Call?
It is a free, no-pressure conversation (about 30 minutes) where you describe your situation and I tell you honestly whether and how I can help. If coaching is not the right fit, I will tell you. There is no obligation to book anything afterwards.
What does the coaching cost, and how can I pay?
Prices and payment options (one-off payment) are shared in the Clarity Call and in the shop, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
What if I'm not sure it will work for me?
That is exactly what the Clarity Call is for. You can also join the free community first to try the tools and the 7-Day Perfect Day Challenge, and see whether my approach suits you before you commit to anything.
Can I get a certificate or invoice for my business?
Yes, you receive an invoice for every payment, which you can use for your business accounting.
