Coaching Style

Claudia uses a systemic approach and creates a reflective environment that enables clients to clarify issues, create solutions and achieve goals while considering their organizational and wider external context. The focus of the coaching is on increasing clients’ self-awareness through identifying strengths, values, and influence of other factors such as cultural background, and adopting perspectives that create clarity of the organisational and wider systemic context. This is achieved through working in partnership with the client to develop clients’ capacity to manage transitions, challenges and opportunities successfully. Clients often report that the coaching has increased their capacity for reflection and self-coaching and describe the coaching as practical, insightful and creative.

"I found my sessions with Claudia really beneficial. Not only was I able to share thoughts and feelings with her that may have been difficult to share with colleagues, but I also gained valuable insights into my own drivers and career goals. The sessions always left me feeling energised and positive about the future."
