Listen, I know how frustrating it is to gather all your hope try to commit to a new time-management system only to find nothing ever sticks.
You’re fed up with gurus preaching their best-selling strategies – you don’t need more theory, you need to find a time-management system you actually use and like.
And that’s what no one ever teaches you.

The work I have done with Iris has been the most thorough, successful, and lasting self-work that I have ever done. Our time was productive and I saw incredible results.”

We need to understand our own psychology and work with ourselves to build good habits.
As a psychologist, I help my clients understand their brains better, teach them how to build habits that stick, and solve productivity for good.
Because you don’t need more productivity tips. You need a system of habits to help you prioritize, focus, and get your work done every day. In other words: You need to a) choose the right productive habits for you and b) figure out how on earth you can actually start doing them regularly.
That’s where I come in.
What’s missing in time management today is the understanding that we don’t need prescriptive strategies.
We need to understand our own psychology and work with ourselves to build good habits.
Willpower, discipline, and rigid rules don’t work and they just make you feel awful. You can build procrastinate less, do more deep work, and feel less burnt out. I’m here to partner with you and help with that.
Imagine hiring a psychologist for your productivity – a strategic brain + encouraging cheerleader to help you find and implement the exact right habits for you.
With me as your personal psychologist, you will:

“I’ve figured out more about myself from a few sessions with Iris than I did in half a year of private counseling sessions. The stuff we figure out together translates into real change.”
– Joanna M., agency owner
You have done some impressive things in your career, but you worry that your performance doesn’t match up with it. It feels like you’re getting away with low productivity because when the deadline approaches, you can quickly whip up a presentable result (your 60% effort is other people’s 100%) – but you feel guilty and burnt out and wish you could just start sooner.
You worry that people might “find you out” and wonder how other people manage to work 8-hour days when you sometimes struggle to put in 2 fragmented hours (especially working from home).
You know you are not stupid. In fact, your friends think you’re pretty brilliant. But somehow, you just can’t crack the code to consistent productivity. You care about personal development, you’re always learning and you’ve read a lot about time management.
You wish someone would finally show you how to implement good productivity habits and make them stick, so you can get on with your goals, build momentum, and finally feel at ease.
Your Custom Productivity System is an in-depth 3-month 1-on-1 coaching program to help you find YOUR best way to work and perform at your best so you can be productive in the long-run.

“I’m back to being excited when I wake up instead of wanting to curl up in a ball and avoid things.”
– Amy Mason, self-employed illustrator
I am a coaching psychologist that develops bespoke productivity systems for ambitious entrepreneurs and high-performing professionals.
Coaching is more goal-oriented and practical than traditional therapy. I use coaching as a tool in my practice, and have more than 1200 coaching hours and 11 years of experience under my belt.
My work is evidence-based and pragmatic: I don’t throw self-help suggestions your way. I’ve studied research on goal-setting, productivity, procrastination – anything that helps us follow through on our goals in the busy day-to-day of our lives.
I combine my training as a psychologist with carefully developed strategies that emerged from my client work.
I’m not a fluffy untrained coach who will minimize your complex situation with “think positive thoughts” platitudes.
My coaching style is empathetic and strategic. Read: If you confess that you procrastinate regularly, I won’t judge you or tell you to “remember your WHY” and “just be more committed”. Instead, we’ll take a strategic approach, finding your procrastination triggers and developing counter habits to increase your productivity day by day.

“Iris was knowledgeable and thoughtful. I strongly recommend her.”
– Rafael Sarandeses, executive coach
I have worked with CEOs, CTOs, COOs, founders, digital agency owners, software engineers, data scientists, researchers, executive coaches, freelancers (writers, illustrators), and entrepreneurs. My clients often work in the non-profit or tech sector. They live all over the world, from Dubai to Switzerland to Canada.
Yes. Some of my clients really struggle with procrastination, but about 30% of my clients are high performers who have already built a solid morning routine, have a project management system, and are getting a lot done. They want to find habits to make even better use of their time and block time on their schedules for deep work. These clients tell me they value the strategies we develop and the accountability of regular meetings.
I hear you. I know how frustrating it is to gather up your hope, again and again, to commit to a new time-management book, course, or guru – Only to find nothing ever sticks. You don’t need more theory, you need to understand the psychology behind your procrastination.
We don’t procrastinate because we’re lazy. We procrastinate because a task is scary, vague and overwhelming, dull, or incredibly meaningful to us. You can’t trick your brain into ignoring these factors.
So when I coach someone like you, we find the right habits to make tasks very specific and “winnable”, we learn how to regulate distractions, and how to take fear/emotions out of the equation.
Working with me won’t feel like the work you have done so far. It will be a strategic and encouraging experience without guilt or judgment. All I need from you is the willingness to stay open and to try small changes now to see big results 3 months from now.
Yes, at no extra charge. You can choose a payment plan of 6 payments: A downpayment of 750€ followed by 5x monthly payments of 550€.

You can pay in full upfront or in monthly payments at no extra charge. Payments can be made via Stripe (credit card) or bank transfer if you are in the EU and have an IBAN.
In six months, we will find key habits to support your productivity. If you are a procrastinator, you will have proven strategies that help you get started with work and not get distracted. For many, our workmorphs from regular sessions during an intensive change process into a long-term partnership.
I specialize in productivity and neurodiversity (ADHD, autism, AuDHD). Being a psychologist, my work can touch on deep issues sometimes. Other topics I hav worked on with clients are narcissistic abuse, CPTSD, late-in-life discovery of your queerness.
