I coach people sometimes.

I've coached engineers, founders, and friends who felt stuck. Usually it was work they kept putting off, a business that stopped moving, or a goal without a plan.

What they wrote

“When we started, I was at a point in life where I was feeling stuck. My business was stagnating in the previous 6 months, and I just couldn’t find the energy or motivation to start working again. Talking to Alex made me aware of the main negative thinking patterns holding me back. He was also a great listener, and made me feel understood and encouraged.”

“I talked about my struggle with procrastination and breaking down big tasks at work, which often left me stuck. Alex listened intently and provided practical strategies that made the issues feel manageable. His advice stayed with me beyond the session, acting as a mental pep talk during the workday. It helped me push through tasks and maintain productivity instead of postponing them.”

“I sleep better, I think better and I feel better - Alex’s calm & focused guidance over a couple sessions helped bring to light more about my long standing struggle with sleep than I managed to eek out over years of (insufficient) introspection. His warm, balanced tone often echoes in my head when I’m faced with (what at least feels like) difficult decisions - and I feel very grateful for it.”

About me

Coaching is my side work. My day job is software engineering.

I trained with Bestcor in 2024 and hold a state-recognised coaching qualification in Romania. In 2025 I did Positive Intelligence's PQ Coach training. In 2026 I finished Joe Hudson's Connection Course.

I've coached more than 20 people since 2024. Mostly I listen and ask questions.

Good to know

This is coaching, not therapy. If what you bring needs a therapist or a doctor, I'll tell you.

What you tell me stays between us, unless someone's safety is at risk.

If we're friends, we talk first about how coaching could affect that.

How it works

The first conversation is free. You don't need to prepare anything. You tell me what's going on, I ask questions, and at the end we decide together whether to continue.

Sessions are about 60 minutes, online, in English or Romanian. How often we meet depends on what you need. If we continue, it's paid, and we agree on the price and the number of sessions before we start.

To start, send me a few lines. What's going on, and what have you tried so far?
