Hi, I'm Bo Mérei. I'm a counselor and coach.

_66C0124%252520(2)_edited_edited_edited.

Your life. Your story. 

My mission is to encourage you to own your story.

I'm a psychological counselor and a certified systemic expert-coach (European Coaching Association) and I serve people in their pursuit of becoming the happiest and most authentic versions of themselves. Using a variety of approaches and proven methodologies, I facilitate your process of creating your own path in life and then walking it with courage and persistence. Of identifying the barriers to your happiness and growth – and finding ways to overcome them. Of finding and growing self-belief and self-confidence.

Ultimately, my goal is that you find, understand, live, and own your life story.
