Key areas of intervention:
Methodology
Systemic Palo Alto Coaching approach is a powerful tool for personal and professional growth, particularly for individuals navigating complex relational dynamics or organizational challenges.
Systemic Thinking
Individuals are regarded as parts of larger systems, such as teams or organizations. The focus is on understanding the dynamic interactions within systems and how these interactions contribute to the issue at hand.
Focus on Communication
The Palo Alto approach places significant emphasis on communication patterns. Coach works with a client to identify and change unproductive communication habits.
Problem-Solving Orientation
This approach is practical and solution-focused. Coach helps a client experiment with new behaviors and perspectives to break unhelpful patterns.
Non-Pathologizing
The approach views challenges as part of normal human experiences within complex systems. The emphasis is on understanding and shifting these dynamics.
Collaborative Process
The coach and client work together as partners in the coaching process. The coach acts as a facilitator, helping the client explore different perspectives and discover solutions that fit their unique context.

Certified Professional Coach | Artist | Jungian analyst-in-training
I am a certified and EMCC-accredited professional coach living and working in France for 20+ years, offering innovative, tailor-made coaching interventions for both institutional clients and individuals around the world.
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. Many are expats, leaders, or professionals who dare to be different yet sometimes feel the strain of disconnection from their core identity.
I hold an Advanced Certificate in Coaching, Leadership & Change from ESSEC Business School, one of France’s leading institutions. 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.
