Hi, I’m Inês Santos — and here’s a little bit about my story.
If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re tired of feeling anxious, stuck, or constantly doubting yourself. I know that feeling well.
On the outside, I looked functional. On the inside, I felt overwhelmed.
Since I was a little girl, I’ve struggled with anxiety and a deep lack of self-confidence. I was so shy that I could barely walk with my head held high. Over time, anxiety became more than just shyness — it shaped how I saw myself and the world around me.
In 2017, I was diagnosed with depression. I felt at my very lowest, struggling to find happiness in everyday life. I wasn’t able to turn off my anxiety attacks and started punishing myself for it. I doubted everything I did and depended heavily on the validation of others.
With the professional help of a coach and a therapist, I slowly began to understand the root of my anxiety and the patterns keeping me stuck. More importantly, I learned how to take small, realistic steps forward. That experience shaped the way I coach today.
In the summer of 2020, I discovered coaching. What first started as a personal tool for my own growth quickly became a calling. I completed my certification at the Jay Shetty Certification School in 2021 and have since focused on anxiety and mindset coaching. My approach combines emotional depth with structure — because insight alone isn’t enough. Sustainable change requires clarity, action, and accountability.
You are not broken. You don’t need fixing. You may simply need support, perspective, and a structured way forward.
I see my clients as whole, capable, and resourceful. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling lighter — but also clearer about what to do next.
In our sessions, you can expect:
- A calm and non-judgmental space
- Honest reflection and thoughtful questions
- Clear next steps after every session
- Encouragement without pressure
- Accountability that feels supportive, not overwhelming
An international path, a structured approach
Having lived and studied in different countries (Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands) exposed me to different cultures and perspectives — and shaped the structured way I approach coaching.
