Aurelia is an executive coach serving individuals, teams and organisations in the not-for-profit and corporate sectors. She believes that coaching is a powerful force for enhancing personal, team and organisational development. She brings a deep belief in the power of self-inquiry and relational approaches. She draws on cognitive, behavioural, emotional, and somatic techniques to support clients. Heightening awareness, enhancing insight, cultivating empathy, managing cognitive schemas, holding attention on designated outcomes, and practicing bite size behaviour modification are some of the tools she applies.

She now regularly consults to the IFRC on organisational development initiatives.
