Let Me Introduce Myself!

Hi, I’m Sofia Papoutsi, PhD, and I’m all about helping people make bold career changes and find what really clicks for them—whether you’re an artist, a mid-career professional, or someone looking to make a switch.

My journey? It wasn’t straightforward. I started out in law and spent over 15 years working in academia and corporate environments. It was rewarding, but deep down, I knew it wasn’t where I was meant to be. So, I made a big change—diving into photography. That’s where I really learned about storytelling, resilience, and seeing things from a new perspective. Through that process, I realized my true passion: helping others create careers and lives they’re truly excited about.

To back that up, I completed my AC-accredited coaching training at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA) and am currently working towards Accreditation with the Association for Coaching.

Now, I work with career changers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and business owners, helping them overcome creative blocks, turn their ideas into action, and build careers (or businesses) that actually feel aligned with who they are. I get it—I’ve been through the ups and downs of change myself, and I know both the fears and the possibilities that come with making a big shift.

I understand what it’s like to seek more—more creativity, more purpose, more alignment between your work and your values. Navigating change can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Here’s how I can help:

✅ I understand transitions firsthand. Whether you’re exploring a career shift, rediscovering your creativity, or redefining success, I’ve been there. I know both the challenges and the opportunities that come with change.

✅ Creativity is at the core of my work. As a photographer and artist, I engage with creativity daily. If you’re looking to bring more creativity into your life—whether personally or professionally—I can help you develop and trust your own creative process.

✅ Mindfulness meets action. Change isn’t just about making plans; it’s about approaching them with clarity and confidence. I bring a balanced approach that combines practical steps with a deeper awareness of what truly matters to you.

✅ I’ve worked in structured environments—and stepped beyond them. If you feel stuck in a system that no longer fits, I can help you explore new possibilities, whether that means shifting careers, launching something of your own, or redefining what success looks like.

✅ You are more than your job. Work is just one part of a fulfilling life. I support people who are ready to move beyond burnout and disconnection toward careers and creative paths that feel meaningful and sustainable.

I offer coaching in Greek, English, and French, and we can meet online—because meaningful conversations and real transformation aren’t bound by location.
