About me
Hello, I am Filip Malinowski, a coach for communication and self-development based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg.
Through my own journey – from inner blockage to authentic clarity – I have experienced how transformative NVC can be. As a child in a Polish family shaped by traumatic heritage of the war and rigid expectations, I had lost access to parts of my inner world. NVC became the life-changing key for me to understand my feelings, clearly naming my needs and standing up for myself in a powerful way.
With openness, curiosity and a pinch of humor, I offer you a space in which you can develop safely and freely.
What my coaching is all about:
Access to feelings & needs: Together we explore what’s going on inside you and work out new ways to recognize and express yourself authentically.
Authentic communication: I show you how to express your needs and boundaries in a clear and connecting way.
New strategies: We release old blockages and create new, empowering strategies to fulfill your needs effectively.
Transformation: If you wish, we can reflect on your past and create healing, corrective experiences.
Using elements of somatic mindfulness, inner child work, I combine NVC into a holistic approach that supports you in creating the life you want.
Let’s bring clarity, peace and connection into your life together.

Filip gave a 1 day workshop in English at our software engineering school for staff and students. The content was adapted to not only a work, but also a personal context. Everyone in the workshop left with practical skills in NVC and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was highly engaging and was above our expectations. Thanks Filip for bringing this workshop to us!










You will definitely gain constructive insights about yourself from one of Filip’s well thought-out courses. It was a nice mix of challenging and revealing and I was surprised and impressed with what I experienced during one of his 2-day courses.
He lead the group in a warm and empathetic way, quickly establishing trust and rapport which only deepened over the time. I saw my own experiences in others and this was encouraging. Will be back for more!








I took the nvc intro course Filip offers and felt immediately welcome and quickly at ease to share deep thoughts with a group of strangers. He managed to create trust and a safe space for people to share feelings and vulnerabilities.
He manages to show an access to nvc that focuses on practice more than on theory which you can read in the book anyway.
10/10 already recommending to friends and colleagues.
Thanks for a great, insightful and exciting workshop, Filip!

Had a terrific weekend workshop with Filip: it was enriching, well-led and transformative. I’m recommending it to my friends and am considering joining a follow-up in-depth workshop that Filip organises, too!
