Individual Coaching

Get customised, 1:1 support for whatever big questions, life changes, or career transitions are keeping you up at night.

Explore my four areas of focus below to see which one is right for you.

Life Transitions

Get personalised support to navigate life’s big questions and shifts, tailored to your unique situation and needs.

To boldly step into your next season.

Whether you’re navigating a midlife “crisis”, a parent and/or professional at a crossroads, rethinking your purpose in later years, a young person trying to figure out what to do with your life, or someone whose facing grief, loss, a burnout, or a daunting change—

Whatever you’re facing, I’m here to help you make sense of your world, map out your next steps, and build the courage to move forward confidently.

Explore what’s truly possible for you through creative coaching.

Each session uniquely focuses on you—in the present moment.

We’ll explore your thoughts, your feelings, your lifestyle, and the resources at your disposal. Together, we’ll make sense of your gut feelings and uncover new possibilities through the use of embodiment, images, metaphors, and more.

I will show up as my true self in our sessions, no masks or clinical façades.

When appropriate, I’ll share my observations, thoughts, and feelings as a way to help you see yourself and your situation in new ways and open new territories of exploration and discovery for you.

Coaching is not therapy.

But it can be a very helpful complement, either in parallel to psychotherapy or after you have completed your therapy sessions.

Examples of topics I have tackled with clients in the past include:

Search for meaning | Loss & Grief
  • You are carrying some big existential questions in you like: “what’s my purpose” or “what should I do with this one amazing life I was given?”
  • You feel a sense of loss or emptiness, but can’t put your finger on what it is you’re missing – after all, “you have it all”.
  • You are facing a “purpose” crisis (also known as midlife crisis), and wish to find new meaning in life.
  • You feel that there is more to life than just the daily nitty-gritty, and wish to (re-)connect to something “bigger”.
  • You are going through a divorce, or are grieving the loss of a loved one.
Burnout
  • You find yourself tired or on edge most of the time, and sense that you need to start making some significant changes in your life.
  • You are recovering from a burnout, and need a partner with whom you can think through your next steps.
  • You are still getting by, but know that your current lifestyle is not sustainable in the long run.

Having recovered from a burnout, I know how hard it can be to be in that space, and how having a community of people around you who can support you during that phase is of utmost importance.

    4 — Dipping my Toes 😊

    Not ready for a long-term commitment? Book one session at a time whenever you need clarity, support, or a fresh perspective on your next steps.

    Book one, 60 min. session at a time

    Hourly rate: CHF220.-*
    * Rate applies to a 60 min. coaching session. Additional fees may apply for the review and analysis of documents prior to coaching session such as CV, LinkedIn profile, psychometric assessments, etc.

    Love or Leave it guarantee

    If you’re not loving the results you’re getting, you can terminate the coaching agreement at any point in time with immediate effect. Any sum owed by you for coaching services rendered through, and including the effective date of termination becomes due and payable. No other fees apply. 

    Fair and Flexible Pricing

    I offer differentiated pricing—corporate clients pay market rates, while private clients paying out of pocket and NGOs receive adjusted rates.

    Any additional fees due to client needs or requests (like travel, document review, or sessions outside regular hours) will always be defined and agreed with client prior to the session.

    Because generosity is a core value of mine, the length of each coaching session in my packages will depend on your need. Some days, 60 min. is enough. Other days, it might be 120. Practically, I ask my clients to book 90 min. and keep a 30 min. buffer to their next meeting, just in case :).

    Can’t afford my rates?

    My intention is to make coaching accessible to anyone who needs it, regardless of financial situation, while keeping it sustainable for me. As such, if you are in financial difficulty or earn a modest income, please email me to explore alternatives.

    Upon mutual agreement, and subject to my own availability, these alternatives may include:

    • Sliding scale pricing for those with modest incomes, so we find something that feels fair and keeps both our hearts open.
    • An individualised payment plan.
    • A creative exchange or “barter” arrangement, if appropriate.

    Money shouldn’t be a barrier for someone to receive quality coaching. So, if my rates feel out of reach, but you would like to work with me, reach out!

      CliftonStrengths Individual Coaching

      Improve your relationships and achieve your goals by harnessing your natural talents and strengths.

      To bring your strengths to life in the ways that truly matter to you.

      I’m here to help you “Name, Claim, & Aim” your natural talents. By understanding how your strengths and natural preferences show up in the world, you’ll learn to use them with more intention, aiming them at the areas where you desire to more deeply thrive and succeed.

      Unlike most psychometric models, Gallup’s CliftonStrengths doesn’t put you in a box. By pairing the Gallup’s CliftonStrengths online assessment tool with coaching, we can look at:

      • How to make more sense of your behaviour, perceptions, and preferences
      • How to develop the most productive expression of your Top 10 strengths, while managing their not-so-productive side

      Looking to run a team strengths session? Check my organisational services page.

      You’ll take the assessment.

      First, you will need to take the CliftonStrengths online assessment (takes about 30-45 min.), and fill out a short background questionnaire. It’s a straightforward process, and I will guide you through it.

      You’ll be able to “name and claim” your strengths.

      Our first coaching session (90 min.) will be dedicated to debriefing your CliftonStrengths report, so you can “name and claim” your natural talents.

      The goal of this session is to make sure you have a good understanding of your strengths profile, and that you “own” your strengths by the end of the session. You’ll have a much deeper understanding of the interplay between your strengths and how they are productively (and unproductively) showing up in your life.

      You’ll learn to “aim” your strengths toward your goals.

      In subsequent sessions, we could explore how you may wish to “aim” your strengths towards a specific goal, or how you may generally use them in a more effective way at work or life in general.

      Depending on the duration of the coaching package you choose, we can dedicate specific sessions to exploring your different strengths, understanding how each one uniquely shapes your choices and relationships, influences one another, drives your success, and sometimes gets in your way.

      You are of course always free to bring up whatever topic is relevant to you to the subsequent coaching sessions, whether or not strengths-related.

        Executive Coaching

        A confidential safe space to talk through the things that keep you awake at night.

        To boldly become the best leader you can be.

        For executives, senior executives, and emerging leaders.

        Leadership can be exhilarating—and a lonely, at times confusing, experience. There are so many demands being made of you as a leader today, but: Are they all realistic? Are you getting the support you need? Are you allowed to be you, a beautifully imperfect human being?

        Together, we’ll dig deep into the challenges you are facing and uncover what truly matters to you, and we’ll identify the resources at your fingertips, including your own creativity and support networks. My hope is that, at the end of our coaching together, you can see more clearly, feel much more connected to who you truly are, and as such, feel much more connected to those you lead and support.

        You’ll get whatever support you need to take care of what matters to you and move towards what’s next.

        We can do that through self discovery: clarify your hopes, dreams, and the impact you’d like to have, understand what’s standing in your way, and find your anchor so you’re not just a leaf flying at the whims of a capricious wind.

        We can deep dive into relationships & wellbeing, exploring those important relationships in your life and how to nurture them. We can uncover the expectations (yours and others) which may be weighing heavily on your shoulders. We can clarify the resources at your disposal and how to activate them. We can explore how to prevent burnout from showing up in your life.

        We can deep dive into exploration & action: explore possibilities, plan and implement little experiments to test those possibilities, reflect on your experiences and experiments to inform your next step, and so much more…

        Examples of topics I have tackled with clients in the past include:

        • You’re facing a tough decision (business or people-related) and unsure which path to take.

        • You find yourself in a “grind”, overwhelmed with demands, not able to see the forest from the trees.
        • You’re questioning your purpose, wondering what legacy you’d like to leave behind.
        • You’re questioning what leadership style best fits your current team or opportunities and challenges you face.

        • You’ve received conflicting feedback about your leadership or results and need clarity.

          4 — Dipping my Toes 😊

          Ready to explore something that’s keeping you up at night? Book one session at a time to tackle a pressing challenge, find clarity within a goal or decision, build up your leadership abilities, and reconnect to what truly matters to you.

          Book one, 60 min. session at a time

          Hourly rate: CHF350.-*

          * Rate applies to a 60 min. coaching session. Additional fees may apply for the review and analysis of documents prior to coaching session such as CV, multi-rater assessments, psychometric profiles, etc.

          Love or Leave it guarantee

          If you’re not loving the results you’re getting, you can terminate the coaching agreement at any point in time with immediate effect. Any sum owed by you for coaching services rendered through, and including the effective date of termination becomes due and payable. No other fees apply.

          Fair and Flexible Pricing

          I offer differentiated pricing—corporate clients pay market rates, while private clients paying out of pocket and NGOs receive adjusted rates.

          Any additional fees due to client needs or requests (like travel, document review, or sessions outside regular hours) will always be defined and agreed with client prior to the session.

          Because generosity is a core value of mine, the length of each coaching session in my packages will depend on your need. Some days, 60 min. is enough. Other days, it might be 120. Practically, I ask my clients to book 90 min. and keep a 30 min. buffer to their next meeting, just in case :).

          Can’t afford my rates?

          My intention is to make coaching accessible to anyone who needs it, regardless of financial situation, while keeping it sustainable for me. As such, if you are in financial difficulty or earn a modest income, please email me to explore alternatives.

          Upon mutual agreement, and subject to my own availability, these alternatives may include:

          • Sliding scale pricing for those with modest incomes, so we find something that feels fair and keeps both our hearts open.
          • An individualised payment plan.
          • A creative exchange or “barter” arrangement, if appropriate.

          Money shouldn’t be a barrier for someone to receive quality coaching. So, if my rates feel out of reach, but you would like to work with me, reach out!

          How do I get started?

          What my individual coaching clients are saying

          |

          “A CONCRETE ACTION PLAN I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH”

          It was lovely meeting Dina, she has a great energy, is very thoughtful and had some great insights and ideas. We were able to come up with a concrete action plan which I was very happy with, and enthusiastic to start implementing. Dina is strongly empathetic and has a real desire to understand and help people. Highly recommended.”

          —Neil Press, Director in Global Discovery Chemistry, Individual Coaching

          “EXPERT COACH WITH A RANGE OF SKILLS & TOOLS"

          I worked with Dina over five coaching sessions, and the experience was enlightening and enjoyable. Dina held the space with great care, so that I felt safe and courageous in exploring my goals and aspects of my personality, and in realising how these connect and can help me move towards my goals.

          She encouraged visualisation, which allowed me to explore my goals in an imaginative and creative way. That was interesting, and those images have stayed with me. Dina is a compassionate and expert coach with a range of skills and tools that she applies in just the right way, at the right time.

          I’d highly recommend her coaching to anyone who wants to explore their personal or professional motivations and move towards specific outcomes.

          —EdW, Artist & Published Author, Individual Coaching

          “LESS STRESSED ABOUT THE FUTURE”

          “The coaching sessions with Dina were interesting and extremely helpful in preparing me for my studies and work life.

          Using different techniques and methods that I didn’t know before have helped me to be less stressed about the future and to have a more open and positive perspective. Dina’s on one hand warm and at the same time professional manner also made the environment of the coaching sessions very pleasant.

          I can highly recommend meeting with Dina!”

          —Alexander Otto, Interdisciplinary Student in Sustainability, France, Career coaching

          “REVEALED A CLEAR PATH FORWARD FOR ME”

          I enjoyed the introspective journey I embarked on with Dina during my coaching session. Dina’s methodology, which delves deep into intrinsic exploration, revealed a clear path forward for me.

          I endorse Dina’s coaching services to anyone facing obstacles in their career journey and seeking clarity on the actions necessary to unlock their full potential.

          —Diana Lagalante, Communication & Change Manager, HBA EMEA Engagement Board Director, Individual Coaching

          “VERY INTERESTING AND FRUITFUL SESSION”

          I can highly recommend Dina – as a coach, consultant and mentor. She brings a lot of experience with such a positive attitude. We’ve had a very interesting and fruitful session.

          I truly appreciate Dina’s empathy, concreteness and openness to experiment. She helped me to reflect and created safe space for me to reconnect with myself and my thoughts.

          —Marta Zubrewicz, Network Lead, Finance Operations, Individual Coaching

          “ABLE TO CREATE A TRUSTFUL ATMOSPHERE WITHIN MINUTES”

          “I had the privilege to have an intense coaching session with Dina on a topic that has been bothering me for weeks, and I could not come to a conclusion.

          After 60 minutes with Dina and a series of very insightful questions, it became clear.

          I perceived Dina as being a very resourceful coach, empathetic, clear, structured and if necessary, direct and to the point. She was able to create a trustful atmosphere within minutes.”

          —Gaby Lederer-Ganse, Certified Coach, Individual Coaching

          “ABLE TO ISOLATE ISSUES”

          I had the pleasure of having two sessions with Dina as my coach. She was attentive, able to isolate issues and encouraged me with her help to address them. She helped me leave the sessions motivated and ready to make a change in my life!

          —Shriya R., Student, Switzerland, Individual Coaching

          ”JOB APPLICATION ADVICE WAS INCREDIBLY USEFUL”

          “My 1:1 job application advice was incredibly useful and I received many good recommendations on how to improve my CV and my workday profile. It totally exceeded my expectations.”

          —Participant in Job Application Support session, Grenzach

          “MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION”

          “ABLE TO DIVE IN…AND ANALYSE THE ROOT CAUSE”

          “After two sessions I am impressed by her empathy and ability to combine psychology and coaching! We were able to dive into my personal behavioural patterns in the working environment and analyze the root cause and restructure my perception towards the precessional environment and towards myself.

          I will gladly join one of her coaching groups given the chance.”

          —Altina-Christina Toraj, IT Project Manager & Scrum Master, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Individual Coaching

          —F.G., Switzerland, Job Application Support, CV review

          "AN ENLIGHTENING EXPERIENCE"

          “The short-term coaching with Dina was an enlightening experience. My coach, Dina, has asked me inspiring questions and given me enough time to find the answers to my question by myself. She has also given me the affirmation I need as I step into a role with much uncertainties.

          Throughout the call, she listened to my problem keenly and has given me plenty of heartwarming encouragement. I was very impressed with her kindness and coaching professionalism.”

          —Participant in Individual Coaching, Hong Kong

          Frequently Asked Questions

          1. What is individual coaching? What's the impact?

          In individual coaching, we work together one-on-one, exploring whatever is on your mind. My role is to create a safe confidential space, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, freely, and be heard without judgement. I act as your thought and empathic partner for new awareness and insights to emerge, and from these, change naturally occurs.

          Coaching is about supporting you as you make sense of your world.
          It is about shedding light on, and uncovering things that may be forgotten, hidden or ignored.
          It is about facilitating the finding of answers you are looking for.
          It is about (re)discovering one’s ‘wholeness’.

          My goal is to help you, my client, feel seen and heard for who you truly are; know that you are cared for, and held in unconditional positive regard; and feel hopeful about your future, as you go about reconciling the different roles you play in your life within one coherent and cohesive picture filled with meaning and purpose

          2. Are coaching and therapy the same?

          The short answer is no.

          While coaching and psychotherapy draw on similar theories, tools and methodologies from one another, they are not the same and one does not replace the other. 

          We all carry a backpack of past experiences and, often times, traumas. In coaching, we look at how you can pursue your life’s goals and aspirations while carrying that backpack with you. In therapy, you would aim to resolve those past experiences and traumas, so that your backpack gets lighter. As you can imagine, things are not always as black and white – but I find this to be the most helpful image to understand the difference between coaching and therapy. 

          In practice, how far we explore a topic together within our coaching relationship will depend on a co-created and co-negotiated boundary between you, the client, and me, your coach. 

          If you are already under the care of a mental health professional, I would encourage you to discuss with the latter the nature and extent of the coaching relationship you are contemplating.

          If you wish to learn about the coaching/therapy boundary, this research paper is one of the best I have read on the topic so far.

          3. What can we work on together?

          While I can coach anyone on any topic, I find myself working mostly in the following areas:

          You can find out more about each area of focus by clicking the links above or by scrolling up.

          PS: Often times, these areas of focus will overlap within a coaching engagement, and we may end up dealing with transitions or strengths in an executive coaching, or end up dealing with loss/grief in a career coaching, etc.

          4. What would us working together look like?

          My work with you is centred around your whole person. While I am familiar with many models, tools and techniques, my focus at the end of the day is you, my client – body, mind and soul. For the real magic happens in that space in-between; as we meet, open ourselves up, and invite each other into our respective worlds.

          My goal is for you, my client, to feel seen and heard for who you truly are; to know that you are cared for and held in unconditional positive regard; and to feel hopeful about your future, as you go about reconciling the different roles you play in your life within one coherent and cohesive picture filled with meaning and purpose.

          I strive to connect with each one of my clients in a positive and meaningful way. This also means that I tailor my approach to my clients’ individual preferences, styles and needs.

          To find out more about my approach, values, and background, please check out my “About” page.

          5. How do we get started?

          I recommend that we first have a 60 min. online Clarity Session, free of charge.

          I offer a full hour session so you can experience firsthand whether I’m the right coach for you. The first half is a chance to connect—ask questions, share your goals, and see if we’re a good fit. For the second half, we can start to explore what is on your mind (whatever feels comfortable for you), so you can experience what coaching with me is like firsthand.

          If we decide that we would like to work together, I would send you a coaching agreement for you to review and sign.

          Once signed, we schedule our first session where we explore in further detail what brings you to coaching, and we take it from there. I don’t have a standard process I take each client through. I like to individualise my approach to my client’s style, preferences, and needs.

          Given the nature of the topics we would typically explore together, I offer 3-, 6- and 12- months packages—so that you have enough time to achieve a certain depth. Having said that, you are also free to book one session at a time if you prefer. You can also start with a first session, and at the end of the first one, you can decide whether you wish to continue booking one session at a time or acquire a coaching package.

          You are free to stop the coaching relationship at any time and without notice.

          To book your free 60 min. Clarity Session, click here.

          6. What are your terms and conditions?

          Once we have agreed to work together, I will share with you a coaching agreement. This document includes the scope of coaching, coaching location and duration, my working hours, payment arrangements, and termination. I keep it short and simple.

          You can take the time you need to review the agreement, and ask questions. Once we have both signed the document, the coaching relationship is confirmed and our work can begin.

          7. How much does this cost?

          Pricing varies depending on the type of coaching you’re looking for, and can be found alongside each package outline, as highlighted above.

          If my work capacity allows it, I am also happy to adjust my pricing and payment arrangements for clients who are facing financial difficulties and/or who are based outside of Switzerland. Money should not be a barrier for someone to receive quality coaching. So if you would like to work with me, reach out!

          8. Where do we meet? When? In what language?

          Where: coaching location & scheduling

          Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all individual coaching sessions will take place online, and each is usually between 60 to 90 minutes in duration. The date and time of these sessions will be mutually agreed between us.

          Individual coaching sessions may also take place on the phone using Signal or Telegram apps, if we agree to do so.

          In-person “walk & talk” individual coaching sessions can also be accommodated. Depending on the agreed meeting point, a commuting surcharge may be applied as agreed by us prior to the session taking place. I am based in Basel, Switzerland.

          When: my working hours

          My regular working schedule is: Monday – Thursday, 08:30 – 17:30 CET; and follows the Swiss Basel-land public holidays and school calendar.

          I may be able to accommodate sessions outside of my regular working schedule. If so, a supplemental charge of 25% of my regular hourly rate would apply.

          Additional work beyond the coaching meetings (for example, reviewing documents, conducting assessments, etc.) would be agreed between us in advance, together with any fee (if applicable) that may apply.

          In between scheduled meetings, I will be available to you during my working schedule by e-mail or SMS for the purposes of rescheduling meetings or answering in questions you may have.

          Languages I speak

          I offer individual coaching sessions in English (fluent), Deutsch, Français, and عربي.

          As my level of fluency differs for each language, you can get a feel for my language skills during our 60 min. free Clarity Session, and we take it from there.
