Matt Tafkiki · Life coach and mentor
A steady conversation for a changing life.
I’m Matt, and Ground & Horizon is my independent coaching practice. I work online with adults who are navigating change or wanting to live more deliberately.
Why this work
Change is personal. So is finding your way through it.
My own experience of uncertainty, change and personal growth shaped my interest in supporting others. I know how much it can help to have space to think out loud, notice what matters and decide what to do next.
People who know me encouraged me to pursue this work. Ground & Horizon is my way of offering that kind of space: calm, structured and practical, with respect for your judgement and your pace.
I’m especially interested in life direction and transitions; values, meaning and purpose; personal growth; and helping people make considered decisions and practical changes.
Why “Ground & Horizon”
- Ground
- Where you stand: your circumstances, your values and what’s true for you right now.
- Horizon
- Where you’re heading: the direction you’d like your life to take from here.
Coaching works in the space between the two, starting from solid ground with the horizon in view.
What you can expect from me
Attention, honesty and respect for your choices.
-
Attention
Room to speak and think without needing a polished explanation. I listen for what matters to you.
-
Honesty
Clear conversations about the scope of coaching, whether it suits what you need, and how the work is going.
-
Structure
A shape for each session and a plan with review points, flexible enough to change as you do.
-
Respect
Your life, values and decisions remain yours. I won’t tell you how to live, and I’ll support your independence.
Training and scope
Clear about what I offer.
I’m currently studying a Diploma of Counselling.
Ground & Horizon offers life coaching and mentoring. It isn’t counselling, psychotherapy or a health service, and I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If what you need is outside coaching, I’ll tell you, and we can talk about where else you might turn.
