I coach people into their professional challenges, to progress in their career and deal with difficult situations in their occupation. I help them to develop a better sense of identity, to take a positive look at their journey and ultimately to build new projects; Also to bounce back and grow after a difficult moment. To facilitate the coaching work, when the client accepts it, I propose using photography and sometimes poetry to enrich the coaching process.

Photography allows you to take a different look at and connect with yourself, your journey, your relationships with others and your environment. It is a powerful way to explore a situation, to communicate about the meaning you give it and to share your emotions, beyond words; thus, to enrich the coaching dialogue. Because the photo process offers a lot of similarities with everyday life, you can also learn a lot about yourself by producing photographs.
|
It is a vehicle for exploration, dialogue and change, particularly helpful to deal with difficult situations. Using Photography has a therapeutic value and it can contribute to enhancing self-esteem, self-efficacy and empowerment, more broadly to increasing well-being and supporting mental health. Shedding a new light on who we are, what we have achieved, identifying strengths and positive experiences we can rely on, are at the core of the activity.

Individuals
|
|
How? If you are comfortable with the idea of working with photography, we will agree on the intended outcomes of the coaching and I will propose activities adapted to your needs. We will work with photos you take during or between coaching sessions; with those that you deem relevant to reflect on your subject. There are many possible approaches, individually or in groups (see below). |
In this client-centred relation, you are the Author, the Observer, sometimes the Subject as well, and you develop your interpretation and meaning. You decide of the topic you want to explore, share and comment.

Multiples Approaches

|
The programs and the formats of the interventions are individualized to better fit the client's need. They are usually made of several sessions of 1.30 to 2 hours each, but other formats are possible particularly for group work or workshops.
The sessions take place in person or by video, individually or in group. I am based in France and often visit the UK, and I coach in French and English. |
I am an executive coach, trained in therapeutic photography and coaching approaches using photography. I am particularly committed to coaching people suffering from chronic health conditions. My commitment takes its source in my journey of coping with Menière's disease at a time I was handling senior leadership roles in major companies. See also... |
