Do these expressions resonate?
“I feel stuck between top management and my team: Top wants it simple, my team wants it exact—I’m in between.”
“What I’m doing works, but I don’t want to keep living like this.”
“Something in me is pointing in a different direction, but I don’t fully trust it yet.”
“I can’t carry everything anymore.”
I work with you in real situations.
Together, we face the pressure, the decisions, the relationships—while also addressing the deeper patterns from which you respond. Whether you’re avoiding the conversations that matter, struggling to align your actions with your values, or facing choices where no option feels perfect, we’ll focus on holding the tension rather than collapsing it prematurely. Because transformation isn’t just about changing what you do—it’s about changing how you are in the process.
Together, we look beneath the surface.
We start by uncovering your ‘theme landscape’—the blind spots, paradoxes, and inner conflicts holding you back. We shape the work together, so it stays responsive to your needs; helping you make sense of what is happening and recognize what matters, so you can discover a response which you can truly stand behind.
My approach blends embodied leadership (breath work, presence, vulnerability) with existential coaching. These assist in helping you find your own orientation, step into what is required, and choose under real constraints.
How you show up matters.
I help you move beyond simply chasing success and achieving results. We explore what emerges in the here and now—emotions, embodied reactions, and relational dynamics.
Because leadership in both work and life isn’t just about results. It’s about how you show up—for yourself, the people around you, and the moments that define you. Life isn’t simply just about success. It’s about how you live it; how you lead, decide, and relating from a place of clarity, courage, and coherence.
My work centers on three key areas:
-
FINDING YOUR OWN ORIENTATION
When you sense your current path no longer fits, but the next step isn’t yet clear.
Examples: Career and life transitions, restlessness despite outward success, or balancing ambition, family, and personal values.
-
STEPPING INTO WHAT IS REQUIRED
When greater responsibility becomes real and action can no longer be postponed.
Examples: Speaking up and taking a position, navigating conflicting expectations and loyalties, or leading from your own judgment rather than from pressure or self-doubt.
-
CHOOSING UNDER REAL CONSTRAINTS
When every option carries consequences and there is no perfect choice.
Examples: Career and family trade-offs, competing responsibilities, or difficult leadership decisions that require letting go of alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you work with?
I work with high-achieving, international professionals—executives in finance, pharma, and consulting navigating uncertainty, transitions, and paradoxes. But my work isn’t limited to the corporate world. I also support people facing deeply personal crossroads: a woman rebuilding her life after breast cancer, a man grappling with the question of whether to have children, or leaders who’ve hit a wall in their careers and are asking, “How do I want to live my life now?” What ties them together is a need to integrate who they are with the roles they play.
What can I expect working with you?
My goal is not simply to help you solve a particular problem. Rather, the work helps people become better able to recognize what matters, stay present with uncertainty, and act in ways they can genuinely stand behind.
Clients often describe becoming clearer about what matters most, less reactive and more grounded, better able to stay with difficult situations, more trusting of their own judgment, more willing to step into what is required, and more able to make difficult decisions without losing themselves in the process. The aim is not perfection or certainty, but greater clarity, freedom, and courage in responding to life as it is.
Do you also offer workshops and group programmes?
Yes. In addition to individual coaching, I offer workshops and group programmes. Current public offerings can be found in the Events section. Depending on the situation, tailored workshops or team-based work may also emerge from individual coaching conversations.
Do you work locally or remotely?
I live and work near Basel, Switzerland. Currently, about 70% of my work is remote via Zoom or similar platforms. The remaining 30% is local, primarily through workshops. So, whether you’re across the globe or nearby, we can find a way to work together that suits your needs.
What’s different about your approach?
Most coaching focuses on goals, decisions, performance, or leadership challenges. My work begins one level deeper. I work with people on real situations and real decisions—but at the level where their way of responding is formed.
Drawing on existential coaching, Gestalt practice, embodied awareness, and mindfulness-based self-compassion, we explore not only what is happening, but also how you are meeting it: in your thoughts, emotions, bodily reactions, relationships, and patterns of action.
A central part of the work happens through dialogue and relationship itself. Through attentive conversation and genuine encounter, patterns that normally remain invisible often become easier to recognize.
The distinctive aspect of the work is not any single method, but the combination of perspectives and the level at which the work takes place: meaning and responsibility, relationship and dialogue, embodied awareness, emotional integration, and conscious response to life.
The aim is not self-optimization. It is to help people become more able to recognize what matters, remain present under uncertainty, and respond consciously to the situations life presents.
How do we decide what to focus on?
We use progressive contracting—a collaborative process where we continuously check in and adjust the work based on what’s emerging for you. It’s not a linear path; it’s about staying responsive to your theme landscape and what you need to move forward.
How does individual coaching work?
Individual coaching is the primary format in my practice.
We typically start with an introductory conversation and one or two exploratory sessions. Together, we begin to understand your situation, challenges, and emerging ‘theme landscape’. At the same time, you experience how I work and we assess whether there is a good fit.
From there, we make a first decision about how to continue working together. Rather than following a fixed programme, the work evolves through an ongoing process of dialogue and progressive contracting, where we regularly review what is emerging and adjust the focus accordingly.

“I gained much greater clarity about my values. By identifying, naming, and writing down what truly matters to me, I became more aware of my values and more confident in living according to them. As a result, it has become easier to say no to things that are less important.”
