About me
I'm Raluca. And I know what it's like to start over.
Clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and ICF-accredited coach at PCC level. But before all of that, I was an economist — until I realized my path was to work with people, not just with numbers. Ever since, I've been walking alongside others through their own crossroads.
My story
From numbers to people
I started out in economics — a bachelor's degree, a master's, a settled and predictable path. On paper, everything was fine. In reality, I could feel more and more clearly that my energy was going somewhere else: toward people, toward the conversations that matter, toward the question "why do we do what we do?".
So I started over: a bachelor's and a master's in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at the West University of Timișoara, certification as a clinical psychologist, training in cognitive behavioral therapy, then full training in systemic coaching and ICF accreditation — all the way to PCC level. It wasn't an easy change. But it was the best decision I've ever made.
Today, after 8+ years and more than 700 documented coaching hours, I work with managers, entrepreneurs, and professionals — but also with people who simply want to understand themselves better. And when someone tells me "I feel it's time for a change, but I'm scared" — I know exactly what they mean.
