My Approach

“The power of coaching, the depth of therapy and the heart as your guide”

These approaches allow me to adopt the best posture possible during our time together…

...coaching, to get moving and define our direction

...therapy, to shed light, open perspectives and take into account the whole you

...the heart, to guide us in truth

 

I work with international companies and individuals. I understand the challenge of certain professional contexts and their impacts on family life.

My approach is resolutely positive and is founded in theories such as Positive Psychology and Appreciative Inquiry.  I help you look for all the resources available in a given situation, highlight your strengths, help you recognize those of others and give you the energy to imagine new goals and aspirations.

Coaching...

Coaching is a pragmatic approach based on tools and well-defined steps that allow the coach to follow an entire system (individuals, teams, organizations). The coach helps the system to put an end to old habits and find its own way of attaining objectives. We need a support system in place to be able to accomplish these major shifts in our lives.  I help you identify what you really desire, put it into place and note the positive results in order to continue this virtuous cycle.

I am a Professional Coach certified at the PCC level with the International Coaching Federation (ICF); this level corresponds to more than 1,500 hours of coaching and numerous years of continued training.  I get feedback on my practice with a supervisor which helps me to continually adapt my professional stance.  The ICF also guarantees the professional capacities of their coaches and holds them accountable to a strict ethical code - all to ensure quality coaching.

I work with international organizations (the International Red Cross, World Economic Forum…), with international clients such as L’Oréal, BNP Paribas, and with small-to-medium sized companies. In these types of organizations, attaining demanding objectives is combined with the need for self-alignment, as well as awareness in interpersonal relationships with colleagues and in personal strategic positioning in the company or in a project.

Through my work with international coaching firms I have gained perspective on the many ways management and leadership are experienced around the world. Individually, I bring my expertise to your specific goals and challenges.

Therapy...

Therapy helps us to become more resilient when faced with worries, fear and stress that can ultimately lead to less energy, impulsiveness, and negative impacts on our health and relationships.  When we are calm and emotionally regulated, we can identify our needs, desires and limits - allowing us to face the different events of daily life.  Our environment may not change, but we can creatively change how we act within it.

 

I have trained for the past 6 years in Jungian Analysis and am a Gestalt practitioner, having completed my training at the Ecole Parisienne de Gestalt Thérapie (Parisian School for Gestalt Therapy).  Gestalt therapy is based on the “here and now” which emphasizes autonomy, responsibility and creativity.  The goal? Get moving again after experiencing painful events, mental blocks or avoidance issues.

In addition to my continued training, I also have a certification in Non-Violent Communication (with Thomas Ansembourg) and participate in a practitioners group every three weeks.  Learning how to express our needs and respectfully allow others to do the same allows for quality relationships to develop!
