about me

“My coaching is characterized by respect, appreciation, empathy, openness and transparency in our interactions. The aim is to make your uniqueness and your potential visible and tangible so that you can unfold your true nature and make a contribution to your life, your environment and society.
Our conversations create a positive atmosphere of mutual trust in which you can feel safe and accepted. This opens up access to your inner self and your core issues.
This creates a breeding ground for the sustainable and joint development of constructive strategies and solutions that come from within you and give you confidence and the power to act.
Values
I am interested in resonance and respect – towards people, nature and a culture of togetherness. With my experience in design thinking and project management, with the power of painterly formulation, movement and voice, I am interested in filtering and strengthening the substance and developing clear, workable ideas and paths of action that sustainably correspond to the personality. I see myself as a companion, as a kind of prism and resting point… to get to the essence and to unfold – to be and to become – which strengthens your inner power. To be allowed to be and be seen…
In my work I provide the framework to strengthen focus and self-confidence and to develop free-spirited creative solutions – holistically and strategically clearly defined.

Testimonials
Thanks to coaching with you, I can look to my future with strength and confidence - both professionally and privately. I have gained a clear orientation regarding my wishes, needs, abilities, potentials and my action plan from the coaching. Using tools such as the “inner team” and the “values development square”, I was able to recognize blocking patterns within myself and transform them into something positive - I found this extremely enriching.
What I particularly liked about your way of coaching was your work with images and metaphors, which anchor the coaching content internally and also make unconscious aspects accessible.
I also got to know you as a very likeable and empathetic person. Our conversations were effortless and trusting and the 90 minutes always flew by!
Thank you for your help and support!
"I keep thinking about you and the time we spent coaching together, which was the beginning of a big new thing for me at
. Well, somehow I have the feeling that I'm always involved in something big new,
but with you, some foundations have been laid that I simply haven't doubted since then
. And they have allowed me to continue on my path well."
"Taking part in Steffi Düsterhöft's application coaching was an unexpected but extremely
valuable experience for me. Initially, I had expected that it would mainly be about practicing writing
applications. Instead, it became an individual journey to my own
person, where I was able to recognize and address my strengths and weaknesses.
Addressing my weaknesses and skills helped me to boost my self-confidence
. The coaching went far beyond the usual and encouraged me to go beyond my
own limits. In doing so, it helped me to strengthen my self-confidence and provided valuable
tips for self-discovery.
The experience was invaluable to me as it showed me my own path. I
am sincerely grateful for the encouragement and support I received through this coaching
. It has been a journey that has enriched me not only professionally but also personally."
"After eight weeks of coaching from Steffi, I feel much stronger in my efforts to realize my professional goal
without losing sight of my personal wishes and dreams
.
Her empathic and attentive manner and her competent application of the constellation work according to
Schulz von Thun helped me a lot to recognize my own qualities and talents,
but also to uncover obstacles and problems that need to be worked on.
Quite different from what I had originally expected, I was positively surprised throughout and can only warmly recommend Steffi's
work to everyone."
«Steffi is not only a great professional but someone highly empathetic that makes you believe in yourself.
She brings out the best in people, making them feel confident and valued.»
Above all, Steffi found the right pace and a trustworthy contact with me; on this basis, I was able to open up quickly and engage directly with the methods.
The knowledge transfer that took place here exceeded my expectations of the communication models, and I am still benefiting and learning from practical tools today.
An investment in a non-material good that bears tangible fruit through lasting application.
I really enjoyed my three months of coaching with Steffi. She listened deeply and took the time to understand my past, my goals, and who I am as a person. With her patience and guidance, I gained clarity and shifted my perspective on success and life. Each session helped me turn my aspirations into realistic steps, and I always looked forward to our conversations. I’m truly grateful for her support and feel much more confident about what I want moving forward.
