gestalt coaching
tailorING to your needs, your nuances and your nervous system for organic and sustainable change.
Grounded in Gestalt principles of awareness, choice, and change, my holistic approach to coaching invites you inwards with curiosity and compassion to explore what’s happening for you in the here and now —
in your thoughts, emotions, sensations, energy, environment and relationships.
Together, we illuminate the patterns, stories, and protective strategies that helped you once-upon-a-time but may now be hindering you from leading and living your life in the present.
We then translate these newfound insights into practical strategies that undo the habits and beliefs that keep you looping, and open you up to the freedom to live, work and create from a place of authenticity and satisfaction.
Our work is not about fixing or forcing.
It’s about cultivating awareness of your values and vision and fostering aligned action so that renewed purpose and new possibilities naturally unfold for you.
Together, we translate insights into integration and choice into change within a space that’s both nurturing and empowering:
-
gentle enough to meet your vulnerabilities with curiosity and compassion, and
-
challenging enough to call forth your wisdom, your truth and your strength.
Clients often describe this work as a coming home to themselves — by learning to deeply know and accept themselves, they are able to navigate transitions with clarity, align actions with authenticity, and create personal and professional lives that feel more satisfying and sustainable.
While each individual’s journey is unique, the process generally flows through four stages:
1. Awareness & Awakening
Awareness is the foundation for all conscious change.
We start by beginning to tuning in — to what’s present in your inner and outer world.
This is where we uncover patterns, beliefs, and emotional undercurrents that quietly shape your choices and therefore your circumstances.
2. Exploration & Choice
This is where possibility opens and empowerment emerges.
Through a lens of curiosity and compassion, we explore together what’s been guiding you — and you begin to recognise the difference between protective patterns that once kept you safe and present options where you can choose differently now.
3. Embodiment & Alignment
Insight becomes transformation when it moves from the head into the body.
Through guided practices, gentle experiments, and nervous system grounding, we anchor new ways of being that feel congruent and aligned — so that your actions begin to reflect your authentic truth, not old conditioning.
4. Integration & Action
Finally, we consolidate what’s been discovered and translate it into meaningful, sustainable action. Step by step, you’ll release the old and embody the new in real time — and experience a ripple outward that reshapes how you live, lead, and love.
You move forward having become a Conscious Creator of your own life!
This space is designed for women who are ready to expand — not by trying harder, but by going deeper.
To ensure every client receives my full presence and support, I only take on a limited number of 1:1 clients at a time through my powerful 3 month coaching container, the Conscious Creator Program.
If this speaks to where you are and who you’re becoming, book a clarity call and let’s explore what’s possible together.
my journey from
strategy to self...
My path didn’t begin in the health and wellness space — it began in the world of marketing and event management. I thrived on strategy, creativity, and execution — the logic, the planning, the doing.
After years of pouring energy into helping others and organisations fulfill their visions and missions, I realised I was not fulfilling my own.
That awareness led me into the world of personal development and Gestalt therapy, where I began exploring what it truly meant to feel connected, alive, and whole.
I built a beautiful psychotherapy practice helping other women to heal and reconnect to themselves, but when it came to expanding my work online to make it more accessible for more women — I hit an invisible, yet familiar wall.
Despite my background in marketing, my passion for Gestalt philosophy, and my devotion to personal development, I couldn’t yet put myself out there fully.
All the strategies, systems and supports I acquired over the years didn´t seem to garner any traction - and my intuition began to tell me that something more intrinsic and nuanced was in the way.
Through deeper self-inquiry and mentorship, I realised that despite all my healing and internal safety and intentions, this new phase of growth was sending back into survival mode — back to pushing, proving, performing - ¨doing all the right things¨, but not from an authentic place.
The thing was, I had mastered the balance of doingness and the beingness in my personal life and client work; but it hadn´t yet occurred to me to integrate the two within my actual business.
Once I learned to harmonise the logic of my mind with the wisdom of my body; to harness the strength and structure of my masculine energy with the feeling and flow of my feminine - that´s when everything shifted!
I began creating, leading and expanding from alignment and wholeness - cultivating both form and flexibility.
I have since established a coaching program to guide other women to experience this same kind of transformation and expansion — helping to turn their own walls into doors so they can lead their own path and live their lives with greater presence, purpose, and personal power.

“Irene helps me reframe and learn by taking my scrambled experiences, thoughts and feelings and reflecting them back to me in ways that help me make sense of my world.
She’s attuned to what’s happening in the moment and trusts my own process to work things out, which helps me trust it too.”
