Stress coaching with Uma Gamdrup: Find calm, overview and energy again
Do you feel like everyday life is running away from you and that your mind never really gets a break? Then you are far from alone. Many Danes experience periods of too much pressure at work, at home or both at once. With stress coaching you get the space to slow down, understand what is stressing you out, and find concrete steps you can use tomorrow.
Stress coaching is a structured and forward-looking form of conversation. You get a fixed framework where, together with your stress coach, you can sort through your thoughts, spot your patterns and learn new ways to handle pressure. The goal is not that you should have a life completely free of pressure. The goal is that you get tools to feel your limits in time and take action before you run out of energy.
My name is Uma Gamdrup, and I am a stress coach with 27 years of experience helping people navigate stress and challenging periods in their lives. With me, there are no clichés and no standard solutions. We take your life, your situation, and your pace as our starting point.

Stress coaching or treatment with a doctor and psychologist?
