Breathe
It all starts with a breath.
The first physiological response to stress is a shallow and accelerated breath. Start by slowing down.
And breathe…
Grow
Grow your awareness.
Guided by out-of-the-box questions and processes, you will start to see and understand the limiting patterns and behaviours that impede your own growth.
Live!
It won’t take long before you can implement simple changes in your life and make conscious decisions that will lead you to become who you truly are and redefine how you want to live.

What I do
I am a deconstruction coach.
Most of us are living fake lives. We build a character early on in our lives whose aim is to fit our environment following family and society rules. We become who we were told to be, wasting a lot of energy so as to lock down and repress who we really are.
A wake-up call can invite itself in our lives at different times. Sometime it never does.
Coaching is less about building a new self than deconstructing this character built to keep yourself safe and conform to your parents’ expectations, your significant ones’ or society’s.
Coaching is about understanding how you have ended-up where you are and how to get rid of unwanted limiting beliefs and behaviours, and step outside your comfort zone. There your real self is waiting for you.
The journey I am offering is challenging. It will guide you towards reevaluating what you thought was true and unquestionable.
But it is also an exciting journey! A journey of self discovery and thoughtful choices. A journey that you will truthfully thank yourself for having embarked into!

During deconstruction, a building is systematically taken apart down to the foundation instead of demolished with heavy machinery.
Why I do it
I have had a successful career in the corporate world as an engineer and a leader.
I have worked across the globe for various international companies, in France, the USA, Australia and England, growing technical expertise and eventually leading and developing teams of experts. I have learned to thrive in this predominantly male industry.
I have felt nonetheless increasingly lost and unbalanced, slowly getting used to not loving life as I was losing sight of alternative options.
Questioning the value of a fifteen-year-long career, and a well paid position, is quite overwhelming. I had to though, because I felt it lacked passion; I had to take a risk and thrive as a person.
It took me many years to accept this change and try life coaching myself. It was a leap of faith as much as a slap in the face but boy has it been transformative! It helped me realise that there is much more to life than what I dared to see.
Coaching is not for everyone and certainly not for the faint hearted but if you feel ready to commit yourself, you too could transform your life and be thankful for doing so.

1 to 1 coaching
- The work starts with a complimentary session during which your goals are discussed and the first unwanted patterns highlighted so you can expect change from day 1!
- It is an opportunity to ask all your questions about what coaching entails, to hear about the work practicalities and commitment it requires, as well as to get to know each-other so you can decide if you would like to try it for yourself.
- The sessions are unscripted so to find the most relevant tools and bespoke coaching each and every time. I work face to face in SW London or via SKYPE at your convenience.
- Sessions in English or French.

What they
can say
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first went to see Valerie having never been to a life coach before, however from the first session with her I felt comfortable and at ease. I have grown immensely from my sessions with her – she is approachable, warm, empathic and supportive, always there when I need her and she has become a constant encouragement and support in my life. She has encouraged me to improve and constantly pushes me to be the best version of myself by equipping me with valuable life skills to face daily challenges. I have recommended her to a number of friends and will continue to do so!
I started working with Valerie as I was struggling to decide on the direction of both my personal and professional life. This has been one of the most challenging but rewarding processes and throughout Valerie has been patient and understanding. Valerie creates a safe space in which you can laugh, cry or admit some deep truths. She has offered invaluable insight and given me the necessary skills and techniques to grow myself both personally and professionally. Not only have I now developed the confidence I need to take the next steps but I have seen a huge improvement in my relationships with people. Overall I am happier and more confident and working each day on becoming the woman I want to be.
I’ve always thought of myself as “I’ve got it together, I know what I want” kind of person but after a few sessions with Valerie, I realised that what I thought I wanted and what I want couldn’t be any further apart. Valerie has taught me and helped me through every aspect of my life: personal and professional by creating a safe and confidential environment which has allowed me to express my emotions, an aspect of my life where I struggle. It is work in progress and with each session and each day, I’m learning to understand that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness but allows me to enjoy the happy moments in life, that much more.
I have being seeing Valerie for a few months now and have learned a tremendous amount of skills, techniques and great resources from her for my career development, relationship and general work/life balance goals.
Valerie is reliable, friendly, professional, a great listener and really puts you at ease. She has also been very accommodating with my request to have skype sessions, as opposed to face-to-face sessions as I lived quite far from London.
I thoroughly enjoy working with her and really look forward to my fortnightly sessions. I feel like I’m continually growing and learning more and more about myself with every session.
Thank you for all your help and support so far, you really have had such an positive impact on my life 🙂
