In this powerful mini-milestone episode, Daria Taikova reflects on her journey from soft power coach to counselling practicum student—and what it truly means to hold space for healing.

With heartfelt insight and science-backed reflections, Daria shares how the shift from coaching to therapy demands deeper presence, legal clarity, and a whole-person approach rooted in relationship, not performance. She opens up about building a dual career as a future therapist and a coach, what it’s like inside practicum, and why relational attunement is the real foundation of change.

Whether you’re a fellow student, a practicum peer, a clinical supervisor, or a leader in the mental health field, this episode is a mini-masterclass in becoming.
No client details. No therapy advice. Just real insight, raw truth, and an invitation to transform the way we think about guiding others.

🔹 For students in the MA of counselling psychology 🔹 For therapists, coaches, and anyone becoming a safe space🔹 For leaders rethinking how we train, supervise, and support

Plus: The clearest explanation yet of how coaching and therapy are different—and why Daria plans to ethically hold both roles.
