Hi, I’m Diana,
nice to meet you!
Diana Palfi
Relationship Coach
I am a relationship coach from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, who believes love is a choice and a continuous action. Becoming aware of that can allow anybody to feel empowered in finding healthy love and nurturing a fulfilling relationship.
Through coaching, I support my clients in reaching and sustaining healthy relationships by evoking awareness, clarifying intentions, and channelling efforts.
Why I chose this path
Over the years I have learned that getting out of a relationship and starting over on my own can be an extraordinary transformational experience. Among the many thoughts that come to one's mind in that context, it can prove deeply valuable to ask oneself: "What can I learn from this and how can I make it better next time?".
In my case, one of the greatest learnings was realizing how much people can grow and change, together or apart. The breakthrough for me was understanding how completely natural that is and how unrealistic it can be to expect the initial commitment to stand unchanged over the years. Love is alive, our individualities are alive, and change is inherent in aliveness.
Throughout the years, I have experienced the struggle of communicating needs, staying aware of what is important to each partner, being open to changes in the relationship, and supporting each other's individual interests and goals while prioritizing the relationship.
By embracing an Agile mindset and utilizing the tools at hand, I have experimented with concepts like sprint planning - deciding together and individually what we want to do in the upcoming week, scrum boards - using tools like Trello to track tasks status, and conducting review and retrospective sessions - reviewing what we accomplished, discussing how we felt, and determining what we can do differently to enhance the dynamics of the relationship.
One of the essential elements of a long-lasting romantic relationship is seeing your partner for who they are and accepting their essence without judgment or blame, each and every day.
What recommends me
I am a certified coach, a psychologist and a people development specialist, with over 9 years of experience working in organizations. Since I’ve joined the software development industry, I have observed and experienced how the Agile mindset and practices support not only day-to-day work, but also personal life and relationships.
I pursued coaching because I find fulfilment in one-on-one interactions, especially when they revolve around our inner worlds. I have been constantly learning about coaching and relationship psychology and I have been a client of coaching and psychotherapy myself.
I believe love is a choice and a continuous action.
Interests and passions
Music is one of the tools I use to regulate my emotions and a big passion which I have nurtured for as long as I can remember.
In recent years, I have also developed a growing passion for travelling, expanding my paths from Europe toward Southeast Asia, with plenty of more adventures to share with my partner in the future.
Being outdoors brings me tranquility, and I find joy and curiosity in interacting with other beings. While I may not be an avid hiker, I enjoy reconnecting with nature and slowing down the pace every now and then.
Feel free to contact me for coaching sessions or further discussions about nurturing healthy relationships and personal growth.
