Because every person is unique, and the best is always yet to come. Your next chapter begins here.
Sophie Danselme, ICF-certified professional coach in Paris 7
My Story
My name is Sophie. Before becoming a coach, I built my career in finance, fashion, and retail—demanding, fast-paced industries where human relationships are at the heart of everything. It was there that I developed a keen ability to listen, a deep curiosity about people, and a conviction that has stayed with me ever since: every person possesses a unique, creative, and often untapped potential.
In 2010, I reached my own milestone. I decided to channel all that experience into what I was truly passionate about: helping others discover their true selves, move forward, and transform their lives.
Singapore: The School of the World
For 10 years, I lived and worked in Singapore, one of the most cosmopolitan and demanding cities in the world. That experience has profoundly shaped my practice. Through my interactions with people of dozens of nationalities, cultures, and radically different life paths, I have become more flexible, more precise, and more curious. I’ve learned to bring out the best in every person—what I call “digging for gold ”: finding what is unique, strong, and valuable in each person, even when they themselves can no longer see it.
Since then, I have been working withclients in Paris’s 7th arrondissement and via video callfrom many different countries, in both French and English, using the same approach: a deep focus on what makes each person’s journey unique.
My Approach
I am an ICF-certified coach—an international certification that ensures a rigorous, ethical, and client-centered practice. My approach is resolutely positive and grounded in your strengths: I don’t seek to give you answers, but rather to create the conditions for you to find your own.
In practical terms, this involves:
Deep conversations that engage your critical thinking and broaden your perspective
Structured questioning that fosters clarity, self-awareness, and understanding
A safe space to challenge your limiting beliefs and make real shifts in perspective
A source of inspiration for authentic, positive, and sustainable change
Support that holds you accountable for your decisions and commitments
My role isn't to tell you what to do. My role is to guide you so that you can discover it for yourself, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, andalignment.
What Drives Me
I find inspiration everywhere—in the people I meet, my family, and nature. Volunteering also plays an important role in my life: it’s a way to meet extraordinary people from very different backgrounds and to remind myself that life is a constant learning experience.
I put this curiosity about the world to work for each of my clients. Because supporting people from all walks of life—students, professionals, and those in transition—is much more than just a job to me. It’s a calling.
Sessions are offered in French and English, either in person in Paris’s 7th arrondissement or via video conference, for clients in France and abroad.
