Leadership means making decisions under uncertainty, moving people forward and not losing yourself in the process. In my executive coaching in Zurich, you find a calm, confidential space to look more closely: at your role, your next career steps and at what sustains or drains you in everyday work.

What sets my work apart is the bridge between two worlds. From fifteen years of international leadership experience in the finance industry, I understand the pressure of responsibility, targets and complex organisations. As a psychologist (UNIZH) and psychotherapist (FSP), I also bring a deep understanding of what is at work beneath the surface. In this way, my business coaching in Zurich combines strategic clarity with psychological depth – whether the focus is leadership coaching, a change of role or focused career coaching.

We work on what matters most to you right now: confident leadership, sound decisions and a resilience that holds. We can meet in my practice on Scheuchzerstrasse in Zurich, in conversation in the forest, or online – whatever suits your concern and your schedule best. I would be glad to get to know each other in a first conversation.

Typical concerns

Many clients come to me with a specific situation:

A new leadership role: You have taken on greater responsibility and want clarity in the first months about expectations, priorities and your own leadership style.
A difficult decision: A reorganisation, job cuts or a strategic change of direction is coming up, and you want to think the decision through with someone outside the organisation.
Conflict in the team or with senior management: You are looking for a neutral sparring partner to understand the dynamics and plan your next steps.
Career questions and taking stock: You are wondering whether your current role still fits and want to shape your next step deliberately.
Exhaustion and pressure: You notice the strain increasing and want to strengthen your resources before it becomes too much.

How a sparring mandate works

Introductory call: We discuss your concern and check whether working together is a good fit. No obligation.
Clarifying the mandate: We set out what you want to work on and how you will notice that something has changed. If you wish, we involve your line manager or HR – only with your consent.
Support over 6 months: Regular sessions at the practice, in the forest or online. Between sessions, short questions are possible, for example before an important meeting.
Closing: Together we look back at what has changed and record what you take with you into the future.

How I work

In my work I am often the complement: the outside view, the counterweight, sometimes also the court jester who asks the questions nobody inside the system asks any more.

My strength lies in flexibility. I can be very direct and address things that are uncomfortable, delicate or have long gone unspoken. At the same time I work with a great deal of sensitivity and tact. Not everyone needs the same kind of clarity.

People who are very loud, powerful or used to setting the tone in a room, I lead back to themselves again and again. The quieter, more modest or reserved I help to find their own voice and give it weight.

I do not shy away from difficult topics. But it is never about confrontation for its own sake. What matters is what a person needs in this moment so that something can start to move.

My clients come from small businesses and international corporations, from Switzerland and abroad. I combine my own management and leadership experience with psychological and clinical expertise, and I know very different professional and personal worlds.

I hold up the mirror, reshuffle the cards together with you and open up perspectives. It is not only about performance or career, but also about success, joy, relationships, stage of life and the question of what a good life should really look like.

I work directly, sensitively, flexibly and with courage – and, where it helps, with humour.

Frequently asked questions

How is executive coaching different from therapy?

Coaching is for healthy, capable people who want to become more effective, clearer or calmer in their role. It is goal-oriented and works on concrete leadership and career questions. If it becomes clear that a topic runs deeper, I say so openly – as a psychotherapist FSP I can distinguish both levels and support you appropriately.

Will my employer find out what we talk about?

No. What we discuss in coaching stays confidential. Even if your employer pays the invoice, they only learn that a mandate exists – I share content only with your explicit consent.

Is executive coaching also possible online?

Yes. Many sessions take place online, for example if you travel a lot or work outside Zurich. A first meeting in person at the practice at Scheuchzerstrasse 8 is nice, but not a requirement.

What does coaching cost and how many sessions does it take?

I offer executive coaching as a sparring mandate: personal support over 6 months for CHF 7,600, including short questions between sessions. The invoice can go to your employer on request. Other formats can be discussed in the no-obligation introductory call.

Where do sessions take place?

In my practice at Scheuchzerstrasse 8 in Zurich (Kreis 6, near ETH/University), in the forest as a walking conversation if you wish, or online by video. Many clients combine the formats.
