Hi, I’m Martin Pseno, an English-speaking coach, psychologist and people specialist in Berlin.

My mission is to support individuals like you in creating a life that feels balanced, meaningful, and aligned with your true self.

With a Master's degree in Psychology, certified training in systemic coaching (360h), and expertise in breathwork for stress management, I offer a holistic and flexible approach to personal and professional growth. My background in psychology—combined with seven years in HR—gives me deep insight into the unique challenges people face, especially in their careers and personal lives. Having experienced multiple relocations throughout my life, I’m deeply familiar with the complexities of adapting to new environments, cultures, and workplaces. From workplace stress and burnout to life transitions, identity exploration, and adapting to life as an expat, I help my clients gain clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction. 

I integrate evidence-based coaching methods with systemic thinking to ensure that the solutions we develop together are practical, tailored, and sustainable. If you’re looking for a coach who combines psychological expertise, an empathetic approach, and an understanding of the expat experience, let's connect!
