Édouard Gouvaert-Nouvelot, life coach, reading in a bright room.

I’m Édouard

A life coach with a deep focus on people.

I love building connection, bringing people together, opening up spaces where you can finally set down what weighs on you and put meaning back where it has sometimes been lost.

I spent many years in the corporate world, as a team manager and consultant. I saw capable, committed, sometimes brilliant people… but also people who were misaligned, exhausted or had lost their sense of purpose.

Those who have doubts.
Who no longer recognise themselves in their work.
Who keep going out of habit, for security, or out of fear of getting it wrong.

In 2022, I chose to set up my life-coaching practice, after earning my diploma from the International Coaching Institute (ICI) in Geneva, to support people through periods of personal or professional questioning in a different way.

Today, I support people who:

feel stuck in their work
don’t dare to change despite a growing sense of unease
have lost confidence in themselves or in the future
are looking to find meaning and a clear direction again

Through coaching, I offer a structured, human, confidential and caring space to take stock, step back and move forward with greater serenity and confidence.

My approach

A human relationship, a structured framework.

My approach is built above all on the human relationship.

The relationship above all
I create a neutral, safe and respectful space in which everyone can express themselves freely, without judgement.
Attentive listening
In each session I prioritise attentive listening, the quality of the exchange and the relevance of the questions. The aim is not to give ready-made answers, but to help you step back, understand yourself better and clarify what truly matters.
A structured framework
My coaching is structured and focused on the concrete. We start from your situation as it is, with its doubts, blocks and challenges, to move forward step by step towards more aligned decisions.
A unique journey
Every coaching journey is unique, tailored to your pace and your reality. My role is to support you with kindness and commitment, so that you can mobilise your full potential.

I firmly believe confidence returns when clarity sets in. That is why coaching helps you put meaning back, prioritise, and find a truer direction, in tune with your values and goals.

Coaching

Coaching that adapts to your reality.

Individual coaching
I offer individual coaching for people who want to take stock, regain clarity and move forward in their personal or professional life.
In person or online
Coaching takes the form of one-to-one sessions, in a confidential, safe and caring setting, in person in Burgundy (Dijon and Beaune area) or online, depending on your needs and your schedule.
In the workplace
I also work with companies, supporting professionals and teams on questions of meaning, posture, confidence and career transitions.

Every coaching journey is designed to adapt to your situation, your pace and your reality.

In just two sessions I understood how to move towards my goals, and I am already seeing concrete results. I would never have got there on my own! ”

FAQ

Who is coaching for?

Coaching is for people who are going through a period of questioning, doubt or transition, particularly in their working life. It is especially suited to you if you feel a lack of clarity, confidence or meaning in what you do.

Do you have to be struggling to start coaching?

No. Coaching is not only for times of crisis. It is often useful before things go wrong, when something no longer feels right but you don’t yet know what to change or how.

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Therapy focuses mainly on the past and on understanding wounds. Coaching is oriented towards the present and the future: it helps clarify a situation, make decisions and take action. The two approaches can be complementary.

What happens in a session?

Each session is a confidential exchange, based on listening, questioning and reflection. I help you step back, put words to what you are experiencing and clarify your priorities, in a structured and caring setting.

How many sessions are needed?

It depends on your situation and your goals. Some people find answers within a few sessions; others prefer more regular support. The pace and duration are always tailored to your needs.

Is coaching in person or online?

Sessions can take place in person in Burgundy (Dijon and Beaune area) or online, depending on your preference and your schedule.

What if I’m not sure?

Doubt is often what leads someone to begin. All you need is the wish to see things more clearly. Let’s start with a free, no-commitment conversation: if coaching is not the right answer, I will tell you honestly.
