Life transitions and griefAt the clinic or onlineIn French

I support people going through a period of major change, who feel that their body is under a lot of strain.

Nicole Defoy, life coach

Who it's for

Life's big transitions.

  • Retirement
  • A career change
  • The death of a loved one
  • A move
  • Caregiving

And often, the body says it too: tension, pain, fatigue, insomnia.

My approach

A safe space to pause and gain awareness of what is happening inside.

My approach is humanistic, systemic and person-centred.

I offer a safe space to sit with what is happening, make sense of it, find your bearings again and take concrete steps, at each person's own pace.

Among other tools, I use CSI©, Integrated Systemic Coaching. Coaching can also be experienced alongside the clinic's other care, such as osteopathy and physiotherapy, to support inner adjustment as much as everyday changes.

Three packages

Depending on where you are in the transition.

  1. Short term

    First steps

    4 sessions · one a week, for a month

    When the loss is very recent and emotions take up all the space: a safe space to talk and grounding tools for daily life.

  2. In-depth support

    Path to rebuilding

    8 sessions · every two weeks, over four months

    Moving through the stages, reorganizing daily life, redefining who we are. The two weeks between sessions leave time to integrate what has shifted.

  3. Long term

    Rebirth and transition

    12 sessions · over eight months

    For the stage where we build what comes next: new projects, permission to be happy again, a change that lasts.

My journey

Communications, then coaching.

Coaching supports a life transition. It does not replace medical care or mental health care.
