"In each of us there is another whom we do not know. He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves."
- CG Jung
Coaching through dream analysis is a transformative approach that uses the symbolic language of dreams to explore and uncover hidden insights. By analyzing dream imagery, emotions, and recurring themes, individuals can gain deeper self-awareness, resolve inner conflicts, and tap into their creative potential.
This method integrates intuition and self-reflection, empowering clients to access personal truths and navigate everyday challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Dreams don’t tell us what we already know
What's a dream?
It's a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle delivered in the morning to your doorsteps in a box. A dream is a message in a picture. In order to see what it's about, one has to put the pieces together. That seems like a lot of work. When analyzed right, a dream may open a new perspective or create new knowledge. It may release the tension too. Because quite often behind each nightmare especially there’s an urgent message we don’t want but need to hear, a precious counsel.
Often there's a certain “logic” in dreamwork. Sometimes dream interpretation can be compared to a work of an investigator who is trying to establish a chain of events and associations, match the actions with corresponding feelings to deduce the meaning. It's a highly intuitive and soul-enriching activity.
What is dream analysis?
Dream analysis is an original, creative and holistic solution which can enrich the palette of self-care tools and help people connect to deeper levels of their personality. Dreams don’t tell us what we already know. They draw our attention to things that escape our field of view. I believe that a punctual confidential one hour online session, say during your lunch break or on weekends, can create an impact and bring attention to an issue or reveal a blind spot in your thinking.
I view dream analysis as a natural extension of my coaching practice. Feel free to get in touch, if you would like to give it a try.

My clients: multicultural, ambitious, creative, and often navigating multiple worlds come to coaching not just to solve problems, but to reconnect with their authentic selves and create meaningful impact.

I’ve partnered with a wide range of clients from CAC 40 companies and global luxury brands to small local businesses supporting their leadership, innovation, and talent development.
In parallel, I am a professional visual artist. Creativity and imagination are central to my work not as decoration, but as essential drivers of transformation. My coaching practice is grounded in a unique synthesis of systemic thinking (Palo Alto approach), Jungian psychology, and the applied arts. This allows me to address complexity with depth and subtlety, helping individuals and teams unlock insight, shift perspective, and spark change.
