Individual Coaching
is a confidential partnership focused on your success.
Our partnership is founded upon mutual trust and respect and is bound by the principles of confidentiality outlined in the ICF Code of Ethics.
The solution-focused methodologies and best practices I adhere to put you in the driver’s seat of every conversation and assist you in focusing your attention where results and lasting meaningful positive change can occur.
Our coaching conversations are driven by you. You are the driver of this experience because you know yourself best. You are the expert in your life.
I will be committed to following YOUR agenda and providing you with value throughout each of our coaching sessions.
What Can You Expect?
Because every individual is unique, so is my coaching.
I can coach in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Usually, all my coaching sessions are online or by phone. However, I am based in Zurich and can occasionally do in-person sessions too.
As your coach, I will bring confidentiality, structure, and advice-free objectivity to our conversations. Through deep listening, powerful questioning, and other tools and approaches, I will assist you in deeply aligning with your values and tapping into your whole potential to clarify your goals and aspirations, plan strategically, and catalyze the inner changes needed to make your goals and the results you want a reality.
Tapping into your inner resourcefulness, we will partner to create strategies to fit YOUR specific needs and goals.
Online Coaching Sessions
are simple, easy, and convenient.
For our coaching sessions, we will connect using “Zoom” – a simple, reliable online platform that does not require you to make any downloads or create a membership.
Over the Internet, our coaching sessions can happen independently of where you are in the world. All it requires is a computer (or smart device) and a good internet connection, and we are ready to start working together in real-time.
All you need to do is choose a date and time on my scheduling calendar page and you will then receive an email with a link to join the session at your chosen date/time.
You will schedule our coaching sessions easily and at YOUR convenience.
What will you do today that will make you proud about it tomorrow?

What is Coaching?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires people to maximize their personal and professional potential. This partnership is founded upon mutual trust and respect and is bound by the principles of confidentiality outlined in the ICF Code of Ethics.
Coaching can be a transformative experience that can empower you in ways you may have never thought possible as it often unlocks imagination, productivity, and leadership.
Individuals, professionals, managers, and organizational and business leaders engage in coaching to enhance their personal lives and advance their careers.
But What is Coaching?
- Coaching is about supporting you in adopting new perspectives, forming new ideas, and opening up to more possibilities.
- Coaching is about you feeling inspired and empowered to work towards your aspirations.
- Coaching is about creating insight and clarity.
- Coaching is about inviting you to start creating your desired life.
- Coaching is about investing in yourself and your future.
What Coaching is Not
- Coaching is not advice, training, mentoring, therapy, or counseling.
- Coaching is not about fixing you; it is about you realizing you are not broken.
- Coaching is not about escaping your problems; it is about embracing them and having the support to navigate through them.
- Coaching is not about forcing you to change; it is about experiencing change in yourself.
- Coaching is not about just talking; it is about taking action.
Solution Focused Methodology
My scientific background in Pharmaceutical Sciences led me to look for coaching methodologies based on research-backed principles that would protect the safety and integrity of my work.
Solution-focused coaching draws on principles from various scientific disciplines, primarily neuroscience, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioral science.
Integrating evidence-based techniques and theories from those sciences as well as the techniques, approaches, and principles among others from neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and motivational interviewing, solution-focused coaching takes on a holistic approach focusing on coaching the whole person irrespective of whether the topic relates to work or their personal life, and aims to help individuals achieve their goals, enhance optimum functioning and well-being, and lead more meaningful lives.
From a cognitive-behavioral perspective, thoughts and behaviors are intertwined components of a person’s mental processes. This perspective posits that our thoughts (cognitions) directly impact our emotions and behaviors. For example, if someone consistently thinks negatively about their abilities, they may feel anxious or discouraged, leading to behaviors like avoidance or procrastination.
Fortunately for all of us, it has been scientifically proven that via a process called neuroplasticity, it is possible to rewire our brains by changing our thoughts. However, this can be a difficult process without support since left alone our brains tend to default to our old habits and thought patterns.
Coaching provides a supportive environment in which the coach works with clients to challenge existing thought patterns and help the client cultivate new ones which lead to more authentic and fulfilling lives.
Solution-focused coaching concentrates on using your strengths and resources to achieve present and future goals, rather than dwelling on past problems.
It’s a pragmatic and efficient approach that helps you improve your mindset, achieve personal and professional growth, and acquire new skills for managing your life more efficiently instead of feeling constantly self-sabotaged and defeated.
