I’m a bilingual therapeutic coach based in Le Mans, working in English and French with people who appear perfectly functional on the outside, while privately wondering why life feels heavier, louder, or a little stranger than it should. If you hold things together beautifully but feel quietly frayed underneath, you’ve come to the right place.
For twenty years I worked in IT as a developer, debugging, problem-solving, and persuading temperamental computers to behave. During that time I moved countries, raised three children who are now teenagers — proof of a different kind of problem-solving — and weathered the usual collection of life transitions, wobbles, and relationship dramas. Eventually the persistent sense of, “I don’t quite recognise myself anymore,” became impossible to ignore. A handful of online therapy sessions helped me reconnect with parts of myself that had been politely waiting in the wings.
Then I discovered Therapeutic Coaching, the training felt like someone switched on the lights in a room I had been circling for years. It brought clarity, gentleness, and the clear knowing that supporting people through their internal fog was the work I was meant to do.
I work with people carrying overwhelm, anxiety, loneliness, identity confusion, emotional fatigue, burnout, relationship strain, grief, or that general, stubborn feeling that life is simply a lot. Most clients arrive highly competent, thoughtful, and self-aware, which often means they have become expert maskers of private chaos.
What sets my work apart is a steady blend of emotional intelligence and wry, grounded clarity. I stay warm and compassionate, and I also ask the precise question you didn’t realise you needed, or reflect something back in a way that suddenly makes sense of the mess. I will gently challenge long-held assumptions when it matters, always with care and without pressure.
Being British–French and bicultural adds a particular flavour to my work, I know the subtle emotional negotiations of living between languages and between versions of yourself, and I know what it is to say “I’m fine” because explaining feels too complicated in either tongue.
My approach is trauma-aware, steady, and respectful of your pace. You won’t find pep talks or impossible instructions here, only a clear, grounded space where your feelings can be heard, your thoughts can sort themselves, and your internal world can become less tangled.
Therapeutic coaching with me is not about reinventing who you are, it is about rediscovering the parts that have been working overtime, waiting patiently, or simply exhausted. Bring what honesty you can, je suis là to bring presence, clarity, and a kind of gentle humour that makes things feel a little more manageable.
If you’re ready to feel steadier, more connected, and more like yourself again, I’m here.
