About Me

Hi, I'm Szilvia Hock-Kovacs

Swander | Founder, Psychologist, Certified Positive Psychology Practitioner & Coach (APPC, ACC)

Have you ever felt drained at work, dragging through life on autopilot or completely missing out on important moments? Do you fear wasting your talents, time or opportunities?

I spent 16 years working for top technology & finance companies. When I was laid off in 2022, I knew it was time for me to start something new that I'd been preparing for. So instead of sending out a myriad of job applications, I took the less-traveled road and began to create a space where even the busiest-minded individuals can change the negative spiral of languishing, start to explore and grow.

Now I use my coaching skills, psychology expertise and business experience to partner with all of you who want to change the negative narratives and bring positive changes into your lives.

Here's to more fulfilment, better connections, a deeper sense of purpose, a more positive mindset and useful habits supporting your wellbeing!

Why Swander?

Many people ask why I would not continue my successful career instead of starting a new one. At this stage of your life? At your age? Why now? In these turbulent times? Are you sure about it? Okay, so what's your plan exactly? These questions might sound familiar to anyone who's thinking about making a change.

While I appreciate that these questions mostly stem from caring about the person wanting the change, it is also safe to say that these are not always the most helpful questions.

So, why Swander? My answer is simple. Since I discovered that there are helpful questions, methodologies, strategies and practices out there and the difference it makes to work within a professional coaching collaboration on what truly matters, I am committed to sharing the freedom and fulfilment of really going for those positive changes for yourself - with as many of you as possible.

Change is an inevitable part of life. It can be internal or external. If it happens to you - how do you choose to respond? If it happens by you - how are you making changes? Going through the motions of change is hard and everyone's journey is different. As someone who's gone through many important change cycles myself and worked with many others to make theirs a success story - I'm here to work with you, on your journey.
