Hi, I’m Inga Knysh, a life and career coach.

I’m a professionally trained coach, educated by Co-Active — one of the leading coaching schools in the world.

My approach is grounded in the ethical standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and is trauma-informed, practical, and supportive.

My Credentials

Co-Active Institution Trained

I trained with Co-Active, an internationally recognised coaching programme certified by the ICF.

I bring tools like:

  • powerful questions,
  • embodied techniques,
  • values-based goals,
  • inner voice work,

and creative practices like metaphor and play to help clients gain insight and take meaningful action.

Additional Education

Positive Intelligence Programme Trained

I’ve completed the Positive Intelligence programme and integrate it into my coaching.

This approach can help you as my client:

  • strengthen your mental fitness,
  • quiet your inner critics (or “Saboteurs”),
  • be a leader in your life with more intentional action.

ICF Code of Ethics Complied

As a coach, I follow the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics, ensuring professionalism, integrity, and confidentiality in every session.

Trauma-informed Coach

I’ve completed the Bronze Level of Trauma Awareness training, led by Nicola Lester in partnership with Thrive LDN. At its core, it means: listening with presence, offering reconnection, not forcing help or “solutions”.
