She is a performance coach with a special interest in the psychology of performance, who works with clients to solve problems relating to, for example, lifestyle and behaviour change, stage fright/performance anxiety, resilience and wellbeing, building and managing healthy relationships, practice strategies, work routines, time management, setting objectives and planning, exploring one’s values and priorities in one’s artistic career and personal life, music education and teaching strategies.
Raluca's approach is flexibly tailored to individual needs, and eclectic, drawing ideas and principles from several disciplines including psychology, philosophy, and health. “Active listening and building a relationship are at the core of practice”.
