Coaching helps you change.
It is a powerful collaborative method, a forward-focused process that meets you where you are and moves with you towards where you want to go.
Held in a safe, neutral, and confidential space, the process uses incisive questions, deep listening, and co-created tools to shift outdated patterns, challenge limiting beliefs, and align your thinking, emotions, and actions with the results you want to create.
Coaching is about clarity, momentum, and meaningful change in your life, work, or leadership. This is all about you, and your potential, the expansion of your comfort zone and your growth.
You’ll Discover your Why, Lead with your How, and Create your What — step by step, in a way that’s authentic to you.
You are one decision away from enabling change.
All you need is to start.
​Book a free discovery call.
A discovery call is a relaxed, no-pressure way to get to know each other.
We’ll explore where you are, what you’re looking to shift or create, and whether working together feels like the right fit.
It’s the first small step — and it can create real momentum.
ABOUT
Hello, I am Iris.
I am an accredited Executive Coach (ACC) and a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).
With a background as a Creative Director in advertising, I bring a deep understanding of the creative process, knowing how powerful it is, and how challenging it can be.
​
I work with creative thinkers, artists, founders, leaders across industries - supporting them to align purpose, intuition, and action so they can use their full potential. I coach with the whole person in mind. Because real change happens when we align mindset, emotion, and action, not just focus on performance.
​
Asking the right questions - the ones that shift perspective, open up space for clarity, insight, and new ways of thinking. From there, we create strong, realistic goals and the tools to reach them.
I believe creativity and intuitive intelligence are key to real change, especially when we align our thinking, emotions, and behaviour. That’s where transformation happens.
This is where you find your WHY, HOW and WHAT.
Reaching your goals and making better decisions often means letting go of what no longer serves you - outdated beliefs, patterns, stories - and creating new ways of being so that results become a natural outcome.
I bring depth, range, and presence to my coaching - working with the whole person, not just the role or the title.
I also write crime novels, thrive in cold water, and bring that same bold, curious energy to every coaching conversation.
I coach in English and German, with clients around the world.

“Working with Iris has been a truly empowering experience that has supported, transformed and elevated my creative journey.
With Iris’s support and steady encouragement, I’ve been able to grow in confidence and clarity, not only in my artistic practice, but also in how I present and share my work authentically. A recent highlight was winning Best Lifestyle Trade Stand at RHS Hampton Court Palace 2025- an achievement that feels both exciting and deeply affirming of the progress I’ve made with Iris’s support and coaching."
