About Candida

Systemic Coach

I specialise in supporting individuals and teams through life’s transitions, with a systemic approach that considers how these changes impact both the person and the wider system around them. Whether you’re navigating a career change, stepping into a new role, or pursuing personal and professional growth, my coaching helps you move through these pivotal moments with clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of the dynamics at play.

For individuals, we’ll explore the patterns and connections that shape your transition, allowing you to align your actions with your broader goals. For teams, I help uncover the collective dynamics influencing your progress, fostering collaboration and supporting a smooth, sustainable shift.

My Journey

Nineteen years ago, I had my first encounter with coaching—an experience that would profoundly shape my life. It sparked a decision that changed everything: leaving Cologne and relocating to the UK to pursue a career in teaching. My love for the English language and the desire to immerse myself in an English-speaking environment fuelled this move.

For the first decade, I lived in the Southwest of England, cherishing the coastal proximity and the warmth of the people. Coaching remained in the background, yet one particular session in Cologne stayed with me—a conversation by the Rhine that helped me realise a significant change was ahead.

Teaching was both rewarding and challenging. As an assistant headteacher, I worked alongside an inspiring colleague who reintroduced coaching into our academy trust. Seeing the impact on teachers reignited my passion for coaching. When mentoring early-career teachers, I focused on giving them space to explore their ideas and discover their own solutions. Coaching became my most trusted tool—one that deepened my connections and helped others unlock their potential.

In 2022, I took a decisive step: I trained as an ICF Integrative Coach, earning an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Coaching. Now, I bring this expertise to my coaching practice, helping others gain insight, confidence, and clarity in their transitions.

What I offer

Coaching provides a dedicated space to think, reflect, and regain clarity on what truly matters to you. Whether you’re at the start of your career and want to make a strong beginning, or you’re mid-career and seeking to make more aligned choices—especially when facing challenges or feeling held back—coaching offers support in a kind, reflective, and empowering environment.
