— “I found peace…peace in being present. I realized I don’t have to forgive myself for my past as there was nothing to forgive! I finally understood acceptance. I accepted who I was. My past doesn’t define me anymore. I love it. I appreciate it. I am not a victim of it.”
Valeria Teles interviews Kasia Nissanka — a Certified Life Coach, MSc Family Psychology, MSc Occupational Psychology, and Speaker
Kasia has been working within mental health field since 2004. As a psychologist at the Social Services Centre in Poland, she was helping those whose mental health struggles and illness made them unable to find a paid job. Whilst supporting others in searching for their life purpose, she started questioning her own life meaning. As a result, she decided to leave her “old self” behind and start a new life.
She decided to give up her promising career as a psychologist in Poland and moved to the UK. She found a job as a support worker at the Epilepsy Centre. For over 8 years she was supporting people with brain injuries to live independent lives. At the same time, she decided to return to her passion for psychology and she undertook postgraduate studies in Occupational Psychology. It is during her MSc degree when she came across the idea of becoming a career coach. After graduating, she briefly practised as a career coach at AMAK Organisational Psychologists. Empowering others to find and build their dream career became Kasia’s mission at the time.
At the same time, Kasia decided to fulfil her own, long-time dream of becoming a mother. She took a career break to start a new family and spent five amazing years bringing up her three sons.
Kasia decided to resume her career as a life coach in 2018 and she undertook a diploma in Transformational Coaching. It collided with another life and identity crisis which made her question her life purpose and her mission. Through her own journey to healing she realised that psychology itself was not enough to find her true self. She discovered that in order to achieve real changes in life, the work needs to be done on three levels including mind, body and the soul. This is the approach she adapted into her practice as a life coach and is now successfully using with her clients.
