What happens in a first life coaching session (in English, in Paris)

A lot of women tell me they waited months before booking. Not because they didn’t want it. Because they didn’t know what would happen. Will I have to talk about my childhood? Will I cry? Will she give me homework? What if I don’t even know what my problem is?

So let me just show you. No mystery.

Before: the free call

It starts with a free call, 30 minutes, online. It’s not a sales call. It’s to see if we click.

You tell me where you are and where you want to be. I ask some questions. And at the end we both know if it makes sense to work together. If it’s not the right fit, no problem at all. Really.

The session itself

You can come to my cabinet in Paris, a quiet room where you can put the phone away. Or we meet online, and you sit with a tea in your own space. Both work. Choose what your body says yes to.

We start with how you are today. Not the polished version. The real one.

Then we look at what you want. Sometimes it’s very clear: a new job, a business, a move. Sometimes it’s just a feeling, “I want to feel like myself again”. Both are a good start.

Then we work. On the outside: what’s actually happening, what’s in the way, what is the next real step. And on the inside: the fear, the old belief, the tension in the body. We go back and forth between the two, because that’s where things move.

Do I need to prepare something?

No. Just come, tired, confused, excited, all of it.

If you want, you can write down one thing that keeps coming back in your head lately. But honestly, it will come out anyway.

Will you give me homework?

Something small, yes. One step for the week, something your nervous system can say yes to. And if you don’t do it, we look at why, without judgment. That’s actually very useful information.

Is it like therapy?

No. I’m a certified life coach and I’m training to be a psychologist, but coaching is not therapy and not medical care. We work on where you are now and where you want to go. If I feel you need a therapist or a doctor, I’ll tell you honestly and help you find the right person.

Why in English matters

When you speak in the language you think and feel in, you get to the real thing faster. No translating yourself, no worrying if you said it right. That’s why I work in English with women in Paris and online.

After the first session

Most women tell me they feel lighter. Not because everything is solved, but because it’s out of their head and they have a next step.

Some book one session and that’s enough. Others want a few, to really go through a transition. There’s no pressure either way. You can see the sessions and prices here, or read more about me, an English-speaking life coach in Paris.
