Applied Mindfulness & Self-Inquiry — One-to-One Coaching

You will find no Self Improvement Advice Here. There will be no therapy, no teaching, no preaching, no professing, here. Most of us don’t need more information. We need training — the kind that closes the gap between what you know and what you actually do when it matters. We work directly with lived experience so you stop outsourcing your freedom, meet pressure without folding, and act cleanly from what’s true for you and the people you care about.

What this is (and isn’t)

This is training. Not theory, not feel-good reflection. Training in seeing clearly and staying with what’s real when every habit in you wants to run. Training in acting cleanly under pressure and ending avoidance so your life isn’t ruled by fear and impulse.

This isn’t therapy; I’m not a therapist. It isn’t an emotional spa, a brand of enlightenment, or coaching theatre. I don’t sell motivation and I don’t perform wisdom. This is work—honest, repetitive, sometimes uncomfortable, always practical.

  • One-to-one sessions—steady rhythm over hype
  • Direct practice—no hiding behind concepts
  • Simple, repeatable work that changes how you meet experience

What I Do

I’m a profiler and mindfulness coach. I work with people who are about done with constantly trying to solve discomfort by pouring comfort over it, and the deepening cycles of self deception abject self hostility that go along with this. We train the ability to see clearly, to stay present when every impulse wants to bail, and to act—or not act—from reality instead of reactivity. Your freedom isn’t a slogan; it’s a skill we build. And we do all of this in the context of your life and the multitudes of problems that tend to go along with being alive.

Applied Mindfulness

Not just “staying with discomfort.” We train seeing things as they are and moving (or not) from that clarity. Side effects tend to show up: steadiness, spontaneity, decisiveness, compassion. Nothing mystical—just practiced contact with reality.

Self-Inquiry

See the stories you live inside and what they do to you. Let them disentangle through practice. Learn to perceive the felt fact of being you—often different from the descriptions you repeat. This is where we ask the annoying questions: “Who are you? What are you?” and stay long enough to find out.

Profiling & Feedback

This is my home field: I’m a profiler (PhD), with 10+ years of applied work. Profiling here isn’t labels—it’s seeing you as you are, beyond opinion and self-narrative, then turning that picture into training. Frameworks are tools, not identities.

Practice & Training Cycles

Cycles vary in length and focus, built around your life. Programs are customised and dynamic—training adapts to reality or it isn’t applied. Supporting materials are shared privately (audio instructions, exercises, guidance). Progress shows up in how you live, not what you say.

How Training Works

We work in cycles. The aim is independence, not reliance. Training is simple, but not always easy.

The work draws on three domains that are usually kept separate: personality science, attentional training, and applied behavioural work.

Personality science helps us identify patterns in how people think, feel, and act. Attentional training develops the ability to observe experience clearly and steadily. Applied behavioural work uses that clarity to address the places where those patterns keep repeating in real life.

1. Intro Call

A short, plain conversation. We map your context and decide whether training together makes sense.

2. Foundations (Cycle 1)

Phase A: orientation + profiling + simple diagnostics, alongside attention foundations. Phase B: attention training while working directly with your real problems in real time.

3. Applications (Optional Cycle 2)

Exposure + desensitisation with your actual triggers and disturbances. You learn to stay present without doing something stupid (mind, speech, body), then rebuild better.

The aim is simple: to create enough space and clarity that you can see what is happening while it is happening — and sometimes choose your response instead of running the same pattern again.

Depending on circumstance we may expedite: address the urgent pattern first, then return to rebuild foundations properly. Either way, attention training remains the engine.

Resources

No marketing. No content treadmill. No podcasts, shorts, posts, follows, or newsletters. There are no products here. Training materials exist only to support client work, are never charged for, and some are shared beyond clients for free. Exercises, instructions, practices, and programs are shared privately and directly—often as audio—and when useful, with profiling support.

For the curious: a small number of practices and sessions are shared publicly. Most training materials remain private and are distributed directly to clients. You can find the public practices and sessions here .

Who It’s For

  • People who prefer practice over performance or philosophy.
  • Parents, professionals, athletes—anyone ready to train attention, responsibility, and freedom.
  • Those who value privacy. I keep a low profile and protect client confidentiality; freedom requires a private space to work honestly.

Probably Not For

  • People looking for social-media-style inspiration or endless theory.
  • Those unwilling to practice between sessions.
  • Anyone seeking medical or clinical treatment—this is not clinical therapy. If I believe you need clinical support, I’ll point you in the right direction.

FAQ

Do you use social media?

No. There is no marketing here—no followers to collect, no newsletter to grow, no products to sell. Most clients come via word of mouth.

How are materials shared?

Private playlists and shared documents. All clients get free access and may share select items with family/friends.

Do I need prior meditation experience?

No. We start where you are. You’ll get simple practices you can actually do.

Is this therapy?

No. This is coaching. I don’t diagnose or treat. If you’re in need of clinical or medical attention, please seek appropriate care.

Pricing?

Discussed on the intro call. If we’re not a fit, I’ll say so clearly.

In-person or remote?

Both. I’m currently based in Belgrade, Serbia, and many clients are elsewhere. We can work remotely via private, end-to-end encrypted apps for calls or video; Signal is preferred.

Why I do this (briefly): I’m a profiler and mindfulness coach. My job is to help you stop running from your own experience, meet pressure without flinching, and act from what’s true—cleanly and in real life. I’ve spent years mapping how people get stuck and how they get free; the work is quiet, direct, and built to make itself unnecessary. You don’t need more ideas—you need practice that holds up when it counts.
