My approach
A coaching experience where you explore and acknowledge your feelings and needs, and begin to listen more closely to your inner voice.
-
How does that voice communicate with you during difficult times?
-
And how does the way it speaks to you support—or limit—you in moving toward what matters most?
My approach is not based on one method, but on the integration of different perspectives that support lasting change.
Although these approaches come from different traditions, they are deeply connected in practice—supporting you in relating to yourself and others with more awareness, clarity, and care.
At the heart of my work is self-compassion.
Â
It’s an evidence-based approach to relating to yourself with kindness, especially in moments of difficulty. By softening self-criticism, you begin to create space—for resilience, clarity, and more grounded choices.
Â
My work is informed by the research of Dr. Kristin Neff and organizations such as Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, and is integrated into my coaching as a foundation for lasting change.
Self-compassion
From reacting to responding • A space to pause and look a little deeper • More awareness, more choice, more connection • Showing up with intention—in the moments that matter • Relating to yourself with more kindness •
Parents
You care deeply about your child and want to feel calmer, more connected, and more intentional in how you show up—especially in challenging moments.
Teenagers &
Young Adults
You’re experiencing strong emotions, questions around identity, or relationship challenges and want a space to better understand yourself, feel more grounded, and build confidence in who you are.
Although each situation is different, the common thread is a desire to understand yourself more deeply—so you can respond with clarity, rather than react on autopilot.

Client Stories
Denise’s approach is a breath of fresh air in the coaching space. Grounded in science, nurtured with care, it has transformed how I face complex challenges at work and in-life. The mix of body and mind work is unique and will bring results to busy execs, as fast as the first session. Highly recommend it!
Marco, VP - Johnson & Johnson (Switzerland)
The coaching I did was helpful as I learnt more practical tasks to do in the present time, rather than just focusing on the past. It helped me to learn about my sabotage and how to use new perspectives to stop it from holding me back.
Faye, 19 years old (United Kingdom)
Working with Denise as my coach has been a truly enriching experience. She combines strong professionalism with a natural ability to create a safe and trusting environment, which enabled open and meaningful conversations from the very beginning.
Denise has an exceptional capacity for active listening—she not only hears what is said, but also helps uncover what lies beneath, asking powerful questions that drive reflection and clarity. Her coaching style is both thoughtful and structured, while remaining flexible to adapt to my needs in each session.
Through our work together, she has helped me gain new perspectives, challenge my assumptions, and strengthen my confidence in navigating complex situations. Her insight, empathy, and ability to guide without imposing solutions make her a highly valuable and impactful coach.
I would highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for a coach who brings both rigor and genuine care to their practice.Maria, R&D Executive - Bayer (Spain)
My experience with Denise was transformative. From the first meeting, I felt welcomed by an extremely empathetic, humane, and light-hearted professional, someone who manages to combine sensitivity, intelligence, and good humor in a very special way.
Throughout this period, she helped me face difficult issues that I didn't know how to solve on my own. With attentive listening, clarity, and practical methods, she taught me to see paths, find solutions, and develop more confidence in my own decisions.
The work we did together impacted different areas of my life—career, family, and mental balance. Today I feel more aware, strengthened, and prepared to deal with the challenges of daily life in a lighter and more balanced way.
I am very grateful for all the support, dedication, and care I received in this process. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking personal growth, emotional clarity, and a true transformation in life.
