Let's Talk About Change
With my 15 years of experience working with creative people I offer context and a proven structure to support creative problem solving in leadership teams, project teams and development driven organisations.

I work with development driven organisations of all types and sizes—private, public, partner-driven, and non-profit—across Scandinavia and Europe. These years I see people and processes navigating profound change. My mission is to help clients discover new opportunities in how they position themselves, organize how they work together and lead their projects towards a better future.
The personal and collective challenge is to get unstuck.
Coaching for When the Next Step Is Calling
I offer coaching in both English and Danish, centred on the questions, tensions, and possibilities that feel most alive for you right now.
My approach is shaped by extensive experience in the creative industries, a deep understanding of group and leadership dynamics, and a psychoanalytic perspective. It is further informed by my Ph.D. research into the dilemmas, inner conflicts, and creative forces that drive innovative and cultural work.
Coaching sessions can be combined with access to the online, self-paced programme Næste Skridt / Thrive and Rise, supporting you in continuing the process between our conversations.

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Thea Mikkelsen
When something falls into place that is the moment I always look for in my work with leaders and specialists, individuals and groups. When the complex situation of multisided demands becomes a dilemma that calls for a clear choice.
For the past 15 years I have worked with people who want to grow professionally in their individual activities or within organizations. I have seen hundreds of people find their way forward.
I would be happy to help you and your organisation too.
