Our Founder
Hello, I’m Adrienn. I'm really glad you found your way here.
I know what it's like to move and build a life from scratch somewhere new. I've done it more than once, twelve years in London, and now living in Spain. I know the excitement of it. And I know the quieter, harder parts that come later. The ones nobody really warns you about.
Impact Waves exists for people in that in-between space.
You've handled the practical side. But something deeper hasn't quite settled yet. Questions about who you are here, what you actually want, where you belong. Those don't sort themselves out on their own. I'm a mental health coach and I work with people navigating exactly this. Not with generic advice, but with real conversation, honest reflection, and a space that is entirely yours.
There's a lot more to how I work, and to the journey that brought me here, including burnout, starting over, and what faith has to do with any of it.
If you're curious, I'd love for you to keep reading.
🌱 You don't need to have everything figured out to begin. You need one honest conversation.
🌱 The questions that surface at 2am in a country that isn't yours yet are the ones worth bringing here.
🌱 I don't believe people are lost. I believe they are between versions of themselves.
🌱 Clarity doesn't usually arrive all at once. It comes in small movements, with reflection in between.
🌱 I have rebuilt my life from scratch more than once. I know the difference between starting over and giving up.
🌱 The details of transition differ across four continents. The feelings rarely do.
🌱 Every person I work with carries more than they show. My job is to make it safe to put some of it down.
🌱I ask the questions people have been avoiding because those are usually the ones that matter most.
🌱Faith and doubt are welcome here. They don't need to be tidy to belong in the room.
Things I Believe About This Work...
How I Support People
One-to-one coaching
Private sessions to talk through what you are experiencing, reflect on what matters, and move forward with greater clarity.
Workshops
Small group spaces where participants reflect together, share perspectives, and develop practical tools for wellbeing and direction.
Group programmes
Usually four to seven weeks long. A community space to develop tools, reflect together, and reconnect with what matters most.
Our work usually moves around three areas:
Making Sense of Where You Are
Living abroad can leave you feeling off, even when everything looks fine on paper. We slow things down and help you see what is actually going on, so things start to make sense again.
Reconnecting with Direction, Values and Faith
Life abroad can quietly pull you away from what used to ground you. Together, we reflect on what matters to you, what you want to build here, and what you may need to let go of. Your faith, wherever you are with it, is welcome in that process.
Moving Forward in a Grounded Way
Once things feel clearer, we focus on action. This might mean making a decision, rebuilding confidence, or taking a first step. We move at your pace, but we keep moving.
This work is about helping you find your footing in the life you are already living, and building from there.
If you would like to explore working together, you can find the available sessions and programmes below.
You Might Be in the Right Place if...
🌱 You’ve been living abroad for a while, and it still doesn’t quite feel like home. Something deeper hasn’t settled yet.
🌱 ou feel in between who you were and who you are becoming, across cultures, identities, and expectations.
🌱 Your faith feels different now. Questions have come up, and you’re not sure where they belong.
🌱 You’re trying to rebuild something in your life, and it feels heavier doing it away from where you started.
🌱 You are tired of waiting to feel ready. You just want to start.
🌱 You’re ready for more than just getting through. You want a life here that feels like yours.
Our Work Together
If you feel that a thoughtful space for reflection could be useful right now, you are welcome to reach out. We start with a first session where we talk through your current situation, the questions you are carrying, and whether this kind of coaching feels right for you. If we decide to continue, we can explore a session package that gives us time to go deeper.

Testimonials
Individual Participant (coaching)
"...By not shying away from difficult conversations, Adrienn helped me focus on what I want, what I am good at and what I want to avoid. Bringing new and different methods and approaches to the sessions when it felt like I was stuck in my own head helped me to look at my applications from a different standpoint. I was able to streamline my applications by really bringing to the forefront my strengths and my passions instead of focusing on my weaknesses after reading all those rejection letters. Maybe more importantly, by helping me focus on what made my profile strong and compelling, Adrienn helped me regain my confidence which had gotten lost in the emotional turmoil that is job applications. In the end, due to my returned confidence, I was able to showcase my strengths and abilities in a set of job interviews, which ultimately scored me my dream job at an NGO. "
Cäcilia
Individual Participant (coaching)
"Working with Adrienn was instrumental in shifting my attitude towards self-compassion, positive thinking and growing clarity. She has a holistic approach that emphasizes intuitive thinking. Since my sessions with Adrienn, I got a remote job (which I was hoping for) but more importantly, I feel more confident in myself and less afraid of what is to come.
Silvana
Individual Participant (coaching)
"I signed up for 1-2-1 sessions with Adrienn, eager to enter the social impact field but feeling lost on how to stand out and secure a job. What I found exceeded my expectations. Adrienn's dynamic sessions not only focused on job-seeking but challenged my approach to the social impact sector, my potential role, and the essence of social impact work. She shared her experiences, offered practical resume advice, and expanded my understanding of the field's diverse roles. Adrienn encouraged me to critically assess my strengths, values, and unique contributions. Her coaching extended beyond the professional realm, deepening my understanding of my passionate social causes.”

Engame Academy
Individual Participant (workshop)
"The [workshop] was outstanding, featuring clear explanations and interactive elements that kept me engaged throughout the session... The topic provided valuable insights into the importance of adaptability, perseverance, and creating a resilient work environment. I now have a clearer understanding of how these traits contribute to effective leadership and intend to incorporate them into my professional life. I would like to express my appreciation for the facilitator's expertise and the thought-provoking discussions that took place."

Organisational Support (youth mentor and youth engagement)
"Adrienn's support has been transformative for LALA. Her role as a mentor to LALíderes across Latin America has inspired and empowered young leaders, creating a ripple effect that strengthens our community. Through her work on youth engagement programs in Mexico, Adrienn has been instrumental in building stronger, lasting relationships that expand our reach and deepen our influence. Her broad skill set and comprehensive understanding of our organization amplify the value of her contributions, making her an invaluable asset to LALA. I certainly recommend her work."

LALA - Latin American Leadership Academy
Individual Participant (coaching)
"I was initially drawn to Adrienn when I felt lost in my career and life. Every session brought remarkable clarity and insight. From the start, I felt a strong connection and genuine support from her. Adrienn had a unique ability for revealing things I couldn't see on my own. Our conversations covered every aspect of my life, showing me how they intertwined. Through thought-provoking questions, she challenged my limiting beliefs and offered constructive feedback. This empowered me to unlock my true potential and make meaningful progress. After each session with Adrienn, I took bold steps towards dormant projects. I realized I didn't need perfect clarity; I could move forward despite fear and uncertainty."
Mojisola
Individual Participant (coaching)
"Adrienn provided me with an empathetic understanding and created a safe space for me to share. Throughout the sessions, I have been able to reflect on multiple aspects of how I approach and react to situations. It was super helpful to have the support of someone who has experienced similar situations and patiently converses to help us resolve our issues!"
