Individual coaching · ICF certified

Finding clarity, balance
and confidence
at pivotal moments in life.

As an ICF-certified professional coach, Élodie Thirode works with teenagers and adults who feel the need for an outside perspective — to take stock, find their bearings during a period of transition, or gain clarity on a personal or professional dynamic that has become uncomfortable, limiting or difficult to see clearly.

This work helps people gain a clearer sense of what is happening, clarify choices and move forward with more calm, precision and alignment. It can also support stress and emotional management, as well as the strengthening of self-confidence, self-esteem and assertiveness.

The ATOM approach

A practice founded on
listening, inner resources
and respect for each person's pace.

This work is grounded in the ethical framework of the International Coaching Federation and rests on a caring, attentive stance, active listening and genuine respect for each person's rhythm.

Each person is supported in reconnecting with their own inner resources, in alignment with their values, their way of working and the goals they set. The aim is to enable concrete, lasting progress that is fully aligned with what matters to them.

This coaching does not replace medical, psychological or therapeutic support. It falls within the framework of professional coaching, centred on clarification, resources, action and personal growth.

"

I support each person in reconnecting with their inner resources — to help them move towards choices that are more aligned, more considered and more sustainable.

Individual coaching

Four axes towards
clarity, balance and confidence.

01
Perspective · Situation · Direction

Personal clarity
& perspective

Taking stock when familiar reference points have become unclear or when a situation calls for a broader view. The work helps to better understand what is unfolding, to step back from certain personal or professional dynamics and to clarify what matters most.

The aim is to regain a clearer sense of direction, more considered choices and a stronger sense of alignment.

02
Confidence · Self-esteem · Assertion

Self-confidence
& assertiveness

Strengthening self-confidence, self-esteem and assertiveness in contexts where finding one's footing has become difficult or uncertain. The work supports a greater sense of legitimacy, the ability to express one's needs with clarity and a calmer way of asserting oneself.

This axis nurtures a more stable inner foundation and a more solid relationship with oneself.

03
Transition · Change · Repositioning

Life transitions
& periods of change

Navigating transitions when a life stage calls for repositioning or when change becomes necessary. The work helps to redefine reference points, make sense of what is shifting and move forward with greater clarity and coherence.

These phases can become moments to realign — and to make choices that are more genuinely right.

04
Emotions · Stress · Inner stability

Emotional balance
& inner stability

Better understanding emotions, stress and inner tensions during periods of overload, mental fatigue or imbalance. The work helps to identify patterns of reaction, ease internal tensions and return to a more stable way of being.

The goal is to build a lasting equilibrium — a steadier relationship with oneself and a more aligned quality of life.

Coaching method

A respectful framework,
centred on each person.

People who seek coaching often arrive at a moment when stepping back, clarifying a situation or engaging a change has become necessary — whether from a desire for growth or because something now needs to be clarified.

The initial conversation opens in a calm and trusting atmosphere, conducive to reflection and dialogue. The work then builds around the individual's situation, pace and objectives — through a process grounded in listening, reflection and the emergence of concrete, lasting resources.

01
First step

Initial conversation
& clarifying the need

A welcoming space to understand your situation, your context and what brings you here. The aim is to clarify the need and explore together the most appropriate approach, in a supportive and confidential setting.

02
Second step

Ethical framework
& coaching objectives

Establishing the ethical and professional framework of the coaching relationship, to ensure clarity, quality and trust throughout the process. Objectives are defined together, in alignment with your needs and your values.

03
Third step

Exploring the situation
& your resources

A reflective space for gaining a clearer understanding of what is really going on, identifying your resources and clarifying what is calling for change. Each session moves at your own pace, with particular attention to the quality of the relationship and the space created in each session.

04
Fourth step

Moving forward
& gradual adjustment

The coaching supports taking action, adjusting along the way and consolidating progress made. The aim is to encourage lasting change, grounded in your needs and your own objectives.

The benefits

gradual and lasting.

02
Perspective and discernment
The ability to step back from uncomfortable personal or professional dynamics.

04
Capacity for action
Recovering room to move and progressing gradually towards aligned objectives.
