ABOUT SOPHIE
Why reach out to me?
To help you change your life and clarify your perspective.
To enable you to get to places you thought were impossible.
To challenge and guide you to embrace the future you desire.
I completed my professional coach training and certification as a systemic coach with The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), one of the world’s largest professional training schools in the area. I am also a Clinical Hypnotherapist and licensed Rapid Transformational Therapist. I’m fascinated by the body as a massive repository and generator of information. This led me to take up a year of Biomedicine at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London.
How do I help you achieve that?
Through immersing myself in your life and understanding the blockers that affect us all, I will help you reassess your motivations and implement the behavioural transformations that stand between you and the changes or goals you seek. I’ll take you through the right tools and techniques to achieve your personal or professional growth, whether that’s reaching your full potential, building your resilience or becoming a better and more inspiring leader.
I’m all about empowerment. Where you’ll find I really add value is in persuading you that the real accountability lies within yourself; you have to take ownership of your most difficult decisions – I’m an enabler for you, not a crutch; the buck has to stop with you.
MY STORY AND FOCUS
People often ask me how I got to where I am today? Where did the desire to help people to live more fulfilled and flourishing lives come from? It started early; I wanted to explore and discover the world from an early age and have always been fascinated by different cultures and people. After completing my Masters in Business Economics in Belgium, I left for a new life in London, a city I had only been once.
During a 20 year career in finance in the City of London, I experienced first-hand the highs of success and lows of an exciting yet pressured environment. I enjoyed the journey of working alongside intelligent, driven individuals, but thought more was possible. Slowly, I took the steps I needed on the path of self-development and eventually I realised I could reach my true potential by helping people realise their own dreams and ambitions.
Today, I bring a nuanced blend of transformative coaching expertise and intimate knowledge of business environments to help my clients take the bolder steps they need to advance in their journeys. My practice evolves due to continued learning in the context to the mind-body connection and how we work with neuroscience today.
On a personal level, I was raised in Belgium, lived in Sydney, Stockholm, Sao Paulo and for the most part of the last 20 years in London. I have a particular passion for different cultures and what happens when different behaviours, beliefs, communication are layered.
I enjoy seeing the world, its nature and its people of different background and cultures. I love photography and art, am a food lover as well as a wellbeing aficionada. I live between London and Belgium, where I have been running my own coaching and consultancy business for the last few years.
I’m uniquely placed to work on areas such as career progression and work-life balance, procrastination in starting new projects, moving to new locations, anxieties, food and health issues, confidence and self-esteem.
