Career Coaching that works.

Hi, I’m Claudia, I am a Positive Psychologist and Coach, focusing on career change, leadership coaching and life transitions. I help you create a career in line with your strengths, values and what brings you joy. But what does that mean? Here is what I believe:

Everyone has a career sweetspot. It’s that place where you enjoy what you do, your work feels effortless and deeply meaningful.

I have helped over 800 people discover their strengths and values so that they feel more confident and fulfilled at work. And so can you!

Together, we will create an inspiring thinking space that invites new perspectives and empowers you to navigate your work and career with confidence.

My coaching style has been described as open, explorative and inviting new perspectives without judgment. I love working with people exploring the big questions in life and who want to use this time to invite a bit of bravery to shape a career that truly aligns with their strengths and values.

    Born and raised in Germany, I have made Ireland my home.

  • “Claudia is a joy to work with. She has the ability to give a sense of wellbeing, positivity and energy within each coaching session, while encouraging me to learn that the 'magic wand' I was hoping she would wave for me was actually within myself.”

    Katie, Senior Solution Architect, Ireland

  • "I chose Claudia as my coach because of her mix of scientific, academic and practical coaching experience. This proved to be most valuable when working with her. I particularly appreciated her courageous coaching style. She was not afraid to challenge me in some difficult topics, areas where I was struggling or where there was discomfort. She also has access to very useful tools that helped me in the moment, while also building a thread of understanding that we referred to repeatedly and developed throughout our work together."

    Senior Leadership Coaching, Consulting & Tech

  • "I worked with Claudia to define my new career in sustainability. One of the decisive 'aha' moments was shifting from a place of fear and doubt to a much more comfortable place of self-acceptance, awareness of my strengths, and respect for my challenging transformation process. It felt like the end of struggling, and the beginning of confident choices. "

    Joanna, Sustainability Professional ESG & CSR, Spain

  • “I spent the last 10 years in my career trying to uncover and mitigate blind spots instead of focussing on my strengths. This mindset shift is a game changer and gave me a great sense of confirmation.”

    Laura, People Lead at LinkedIn, Ireland

  • "I got more than I thought out of coaching with Claudia! I initially went in for career coaching but through the holistic approach, I learned even more from the life coaching and my life has now changed considerably. I've finally found my inner power! From a personal perspective I've learned to put myself as my #1 priority. From a professional perspective, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that writing is my #1 key strength and I'm working on that at the moment. Maybe I'll publish a book in the future!"

    Mid-Career Tech Professional | Holistic Career & Life Coaching

  • "I worked with Claudia to develop a holistic approach to personal and professional growth. I have experienced burnout in the past and it was important for me to develop strategies to find a sustainable balance between work and other life domains. The biggest learning for me is that it’s not about what job I have - it’s about how I approach my job. I love my job more since I prioritise self-care."

    Tech Professional, New York, USA

  • "Transitioning from Tech to Sustainability felt overwhelming, but the career coaching sessions were perfectly tailored to my needs. The integration of embodiment exercises, drawing, and physical activities was crucial for my progress. These sessions exceeded my expectations, helping me confront fears and make informed decisions. I'm now confident, equipped with a personalised toolset, and proud of my emotional awareness. I know the steps to take and have clear, achievable goals. I've connected my mind to my body, working in harmony to navigate this new path."

Your questions about coaching, answered:

  • Every coaching session starts with you bringing a topic, a question, a goal or a decision you want to work towards. During the session I will facilitate your exploration of the topic, encouraging you to go inwards, inquiring, unblocking, understanding and moving forward. I guide you through the process by asking clarifying, challenging or curious questions so that you can create the path forward that sits right with who you are. You will go away energised, motivated and knowing what your next steps are.

  • Coaching is for everyone!

    Every day I see how much of a difference one hour for you can make for your outlook on life and motivation to take control of your happiness. As with every project in your life, the more you put in, the more you get out. If you bring openness, honesty, curiosity and a willingness to learn about yourself and how you are in the world, you will have a meaningful coaching experience that will impact how you do you in work and in life.

  • Positive Psychology is the science of happiness and flourishing. It investigates what makes us excel at some tasks and how we can learn to bring that into other areas of our lives. Positive Psychology Coaching works with the belief that you have everything you need within yourself to lead a happy, meaningful and joyful life.

    On average my clients learn 5 - 10 tools and strategies from Positive Psychology that empowers them to coach themselves, create balance and build confidence. Are you ready to start building your own Positive Psychology toolbox?

  • Coaching is not therapy or counselling, but both share some techniques for inquiry and reflection. I will for example ask you a bunch of questions to get your thinking and consider new perspectives. While therapy usually deals with trauma and healing, often exploring events in the past to bring acceptance and closure, coaching looks forward into the future. In coaching, we hold a firm focus on the goal you set in the beginning of your journey. We might visit the past briefly to understand where a blocker or behavioural pattern originates, but only to learn how you can work with that going forward to help you thrive and flourish. With an action-oriented approach, clients tend to leave a coaching session energised, optimistic and with more clarity.

  • I use evidence-based frameworks and tools from Positive Psychology to help you discover your strengths and values. This builds self-awareness, confidence, mental fitness and emotional resilience - the crucial building blocks for a career that feels right.

    I teach you a variety of practical tools in our sessions, including cognitive-behavioural frameworks that help you uncover how your thinking and feeling are connected to create positive behavioural change that facilitates personal and professional growth. You can also use that to tame that good old imposter!

  • Many neurodivergent clients benefit from more experiential exercises, where we might utilise movement (also great for those of us sitting in front of the laptop all day!), sketching, LEGO Serious Play, or metaphors to help you in the coaching process. I would love to discuss how we can create this space so it works for you. Book a free session with me.
