I started coaching in 2005 and I’m passionate about helping people to move forward. In “What sort of clients do you have?” you can read about the numerous clients I have had over the past two decades. They have worked on many different issues and are from many different nationalities, living in different countries, holding different positions in different industries. Have a look at my “Client Love” page to get some direct feedback on the efficacy of my coaching.

Personally, I know how it feels to get stuck, I have been there. I have travelled the expat road and have held several positions such as researcher, sales, account manager, event organiser and coach. I learned a lot in each position, and that has made me who I am today.

Nowadays, we are evolving in an ever changing environment filled with  unpredictable, complex and tense moments. Handling change has become paramount.

I believe we all have the potential to change. What drives me is helping you to unlock, define, and use it. We all have untapped potential, and if we really focus on uncovering it, we will discover what really matters to us, and can make it part of our lives, bringing joy to ourselves and to others. I believe that everyone is entitled to be happy in life. No one, however, will hand it to us, it is our responsibility to go out into the world and find it for ourselves, to believe in it and to nurture it.

Together we will travel a roadmap with crucial milestones that are targeted and flexible.

My multilevel structured approach, combined with thoughtful conversations and insightful exercises, will help you gain clarity about who you are, what you really want and how to get there. And, as a result how to position yourself in order to land your next ideal job.

Coaching is not therapy

Therapy tends to focus on the past and how it impacts the present. Therapy is an appropriate medium if you are going through a major life crisis or are extremely distressed. A coach will not provide you with key solutions, advice or delve into your past but will help you to clearly analyse the present and prepare your for the future. Coaching focuses both on the present and the future and is action-oriented, taking you from feeling “ok” to feeling “great”!  A degree in psychology, therefore, is not a prerequisite to being a coach.

Coaching is not mentoring or training

Mentors and trainers are experts in a particular field who pass on their knowledge and expertise. In coaching, you are considered the expert and the coach is the expert involved in questioning, active listening, giving feedback, challenging comfort zones, changing habits, reviewing beliefs … in order to help you unlock your inner resources and keep you moving forward.
