...a little bit more about me
I am a multilingual and dedicated professional based in London, with a strong educational background. I hold both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in law (LLB/LLM), as well as a master’s in business administration (MBA).
My career journey has taken me across various continents, allowing me to work in the United Kingdom, Europe and South America within both the public (including international) and private sectors. I developed expertise in customer service, teams and processes management, systems development, project management, recruitment processes, and currently work as a Power BI developer for a charity organisation.A few years ago, I discovered my passion for helping people through coaching sessions, as well as for utilising my unique work experience to guide and support individuals during mentoring sessions. My career journey has allowed me to combine my expertise in various sectors with my desire to make a positive impact on others' personal and professional development. This led me to obtain a Professional Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring, and I am currently supporting my clients by having sessions in English, Spanish, Italian, and French. I love connecting with clients from diverse backgrounds, and providing coaching and mentoring services tailored to their specific needs in their preferred language.If this sounds gret to you, ’m currently offering a FREE chemistry session of 30 mins where we can discuss about your objectives and how I can support you in achieving them.

Coaching
What is coaching and career coaching?
Coaching is a collaborative process where a professional coach works with clients, by empowering them to clarify their goals, assess their reality, overcome obstacles, and maximize their potential to create positive changes in their lives.
Coaching sessions are usually focused, goal-oriented, and forward-thinking. The coach may use various tools, techniques, and exercises to facilitate the client's self-discovery, learning, and development.
Career coaching helps clients gain clarity about their career aspirations, identify their strengths and weaknesses connected to their roles and workplaces, and create a plan to reach their desired career goals.
Career coaching is especially beneficial for professionals seeking career advancement, career change, or support during periods of transition or uncertainty in their professional lives.
In both cases, the coaching relationship is built on trust, confidentiality, and mutual respect, with the coach serving as a supportive partner in the client's journey towards growth and success.
What to expect from a coaching session?
A coaching session typically involves a one-on-one meeting between the coach and the client, either in person, over the phone, or through video conferencing.
The session is structured around the client's goals and objectives, and the coach guides the conversation to help the client gain clarity, insights, and develop action plans to achieve their desired outcomes.
During a coaching session, the coach asks questions to help the client explore their thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on a particular topic or challenge.
The coach listens actively, provides feedback if requested, offers support, and helps the client identify their strengths and areas for growth.

Ejona M.I had fantastic sessions with Mirella, who is excellent and clearly very experienced. Her career coaching has given me a clearer idea of my strengths, values and future goals. I have been able to represent my skills in a different way, to enable a change of focus in my career ambition going forward. I very much appreciated her structured approach to career coaching, yet adapted to my needs. Thank you!
Tamás B.Mirella è una persona molto competente nel suo ambito professionale e molto propensa all’ascolto, dotata di una gran voglia e capacità nell’aiutare gli altri, cosa che le viene naturale e che fa con molta passione. Svolge sessioni di coaching mirate, atte ad aiutare ciascuno nelle proprie difficoltà professionali predisponendo le basi per superarle e al tempo stesso valorizzando i propri punti di forza e le proprie skills.
Walter C.Mirella is an excellent coach. Her guidance and support helped me overcome obstacles and achieve my goals. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to reach their full potential.
Máximo C.Mirella ha una genuina voglia di aiutare e questa è la qualità più grande che un coach possa avere. Mi ha aiutato a capire cosa voglio da un lavoro, le mie priorità, il mio valore come professionista e come voglio mettere in pratica le mie skills nell’ambiente lavorativo. Le nostre sessioni mi hanno aiutato a fare chiarezza sulla direzione che voglio perseguire dal punto di vista professionale, e per questo la raccomando come la persona giusta per ognuno che vuole fare questo percorso.
Vesna M.Mirella es una gran profesional y apasionada del coaching, a traves del cual me ha ayudado muchisimo en mi progreso laboral. Es una persona muy empatica, asertiva, paciente y sabe guiarte con preguntas estrategicas para tomar consciencia de tu realidad y situacion. Me ha ayudado especialmente en mi motivacion y estrategias emocionales para alcanzar los objetivos que me habia propuesto y que no sabia como alcanzar.
Cristina V.Being a beginner in the corporate world, I did not know much about the way things work. We worked on a project where Mirella managed the project. I got to learn alot from her and knew that I could go to her for any doubt or help that I needed. The counselling that I didn't know I needed has helped me alot in getting my job done and made my tasks easier.
Dewal K.I didn't realise my full potential until I decided to go through the coaching sessions with Mirella. I benefited from these sessions thanks to her ability in pointing me to the right direction, making me thinking outside of the box. This enabled me to fully understand and assess my situation, the instruments in my possession to improve it, the possible solutions that I could explore and most importantly it gave me that extra pinch of self-confidence that I was missing.
