IFS TRAINED -INDIVIDUAL AND COUPLE THERAPIST
Something needs to change
You can feel it. Not in the results — those are fine. In the moments after the hard conversation that didn't go how you intended. In the distance that's opened up at home. In the exhaustion of leading from a place that doesn't quite feel like you.
No obligation - 20 minutes
"I can feel this greater sense of operating as Self — unencumbered. I want to build on that."
Senior Executive, Dubai
The Problem
The tools that got you here aren't enough.
You've built something real. You think clearly, you move fast, and most of the time, you deliver. But there are moments — more of them lately — where the person you want to be and the person who actually shows up are not quite the same.
A part of you already knows this. That's why you're here.
THE EXTERNAL PROBLEM
The relationships aren't working.
The co-founder you can't quite reach. The team that stays dependent no matter what you do. The partner who says you've become distant. The hard conversation you keep not having.
THE INTERNAL PROBLEM
I don't know why I keep reacting this way.
You can see your patterns clearly. You understand them intellectually. And then the situation arrives and the same part of you takes over — the explainer, the rescuer, the one who needs to be right — and you watch it happen.
THE PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEM
A leader who can't lead themselves can't truly lead others.
You know this. In your best moments, you've felt what it's like to lead from a place of genuine calm and clarity. You want more of that — not as a performance, but as who you actually are.
You need someone who's been in your world.
THE GUIDE
I spent 35 years in business before I became a therapist. I've sat in leadership roles, built teams, navigated co-founder dynamics, and felt the particular loneliness of being the person others look to when you're not sure of the answer yourself.
When I discovered Internal Family Systems, I found the framework I'd been missing — not just for the clients I now work with, but for the leaders I'd spent my career alongside. People who were succeeding on paper while quietly fragmenting inside.
I understand both the external pressure of your world and the internal cost of carrying it. That combination is rare. It's what makes this work different from standard executive coaching — and from therapy as you might imagine it.
I work exclusively online with English-speaking executives across Europe, the Middle East, and globally. I'm based in Switzerland. I understand the expat experience from the inside, I grew up in it.

Three steps. No mystery.
THE PLAN
Working with me isn't complicated. There's no intake form labyrinth, no long waitlist. Here's exactly what happens.
A 30-minute clarity call
We talk about what's actually happening for you right now — in your leadership, your relationships, your inner world. No pitch. No pressure. We both decide if this is the right fit.
We begin the programme
Ten 90-minute sessions over three months. We work with what's real — not theory, not frameworks. Actual situations from your work and your life, explored through an IFS lens.
You lead from Self
Body: Calmer under pressure. More present at home. Able to have the hard conversations without losing yourself in them. Leading from your core — not from fear, habit, or old survival strategies.
Ready to start?
A clarity call is the only way in. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It's just a conversation about where you are and where you want to be.

Currently accepting 3–4 new clients. Enquire to check availability.
You've built something real. But somewhere between who you are at work and who you are at home, something important got lost.

Four relationships.All connected.
THE WORK
Leadership is relational at every level. We work across all four of the relationships that shape how you lead — and how you live. Not sequentially, but as they surface in the sessions.
- 1THE SELF - The parts that drive you — the achiever, the explainer, the one who needs to be right, the one who fears being found out. Learning to recognise them, understand them, and lead from underneath them.
- 2THE TEAM - The rescuer who over-explains. The perfectionist who won't delegate. The manager who creates dependent teams without meaning to. Finding the presence that actually develops people.
- 3PEERS - The co-founder who triggers you. The board dynamic that reverts to old patterns. The colleague who makes you feel small — or makes you want to dominate. The relational parts that complicate your most important professional relationships.
- 4HOME - The relationship that bears the invisible weight of everything else. The partner who experiences the parts your colleagues never see. The distance that grows when presence goes to work and only exhaustion comes home.
The cost of another year of the same.
IF NOTHING CHANGES
Most leaders don't arrive at a breaking point dramatically. It happens quietly, over time. The relationship that never quite recovers. The team that mirrors the patterns you hoped to leave behind. The growing sense that something important is slipping away.
The part of you that's reading this already knows what's at stake.
The Feature Highlights
What it looks like to lead from Self.
WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE
This isn't about becoming a different person. It's about the person who's been there all along — underneath the parts that have been driving — having room to lead.
In your leadership: You can have the hard conversation without needing to win it. You listen to your team and ask questions instead of filling the silence with explanations. Your people grow — because you're no longer rescuing them from the discomfort of growing.
At home: You're actually present. Not thinking about the meeting while pretending to listen. The partner who's been managing around your edges starts to get the person they fell for.
Inside: The noise quietens. The anxiety that lived just under the surface has less to grip. Decisions come from clarity rather than from the part that needs to be seen to be competent.
CALM
The ability to stay grounded when the pressure spikes — not because you're suppressing what you feel, but because you're no longer at the mercy of the part that panics.
CURIOUS
Approaching your team, your co-founder, and your own reactions with genuine interest rather than judgement. The leader who gets curious gets further than the one who gets certain.
CLEAR
Knowing what you actually think, want, and need — separate from what the anxious or approval-seeking parts of you are insisting on in the moment.
COMPASSIONATE
Holding your own struggles and those of the people you lead without needing to fix, rescue, or distance yourself from the discomfort.
CONFIDENT
A steadiness that doesn't depend on the outcome. Not the performed confidence of someone who needs to appear in control — the quiet kind that doesn't need an audience.
COURAGEOUS
The capacity to have the conversation you've been avoiding, make the call you've been deferring, and say the true thing — even when a part of you is loudly advising against it.
CREATIVE
What becomes available when you're not using most of your energy to manage your own internal noise. The best thinking happens from Self, not from the part that's under pressure to perform.
CONNECTED
Present with the people in front of you — in the meeting, at the dinner table, in the hard conversation. Not halfway somewhere else.
THE SELF-LEAD LEADER
A private, 3-month engagement using Internal Family Systems (IFS) — the evidence-based therapeutic model that helps you move from reactive and parts-driven to grounded and Self-led.
We work with what's actually happening in your life right now. The conversation that went sideways. The co-founder you can't quite reach. The team dynamic that's stalled. Real situations, explored with precision.
This is not standard coaching. Coaching changes what you do. This changes who's doing it — and that changes everything downstream.

That part already knows something needs to change. A 30-minute clarity call is the simplest possible next step — a conversation, nothing more, to see whether this is the right work at the right time.
