Strategic Life Coaching: Beyond Traditional Boundaries
Looking for more than friendly advice but seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
You’ve found it. Coaching is where clarity meets action – the space where real transformation happens.
I provide focused guidance and strategic support to help you break through limitations and create lasting change.
Together, we’ll identify the root causes of what’s holding you back and develop practical solutions for moving forward.
Lesly Garreau
I’ve been through the wringer and came out stronger. Now I’m here to help you do the same.
My approach? A hard-hitting combo of shadow work, systems theory, philosophy, and CBT. No fluff, no feel-good mantras. Just solid strategies to help you break free from your self-imposed prison.
My Story (The Short Version):
- Started studying psychology at 20. Realized I needed real-life experience to actually help people.
- Dove into business: Created a marketing agency, a co-working space then freelancing. Learned a ton about human behavior.
- Hit rock bottom: insomnia, depression, weight gain, failed relationships.
- Tried running away. Got stuck in a toxic relationship. Wasted years.
- Finally faced my demons through martial arts, self-work, and brutal honesty.
- I lived in 11 different countries and traveled to 23 so far.
- Now? 8 years with my partner, happily married, focused, and ready to help you avoid my mistakes.
What I Bring to the Table
This work isn’t about comfort—it’s about transformation. We’ll dive into Shadow Work, where you’ll face your darker side. It’s messy and uncomfortable, but it’s where real growth begins. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you’ll learn to rewire your thoughts and behaviors for success. Systems Theory helps you understand how your life fits into a larger context, while Philosophy will sharpen your thinking and help you cut through the noise of everyday nonsense.
But let’s be clear, this isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for warm fuzzies, hand-holding, or participation trophies, you’re in the wrong place.
I work with people who are ready to get brutally honest with themselves. You’ll need to drop the victim mindset, take full ownership of your life, and commit to doing the hard, necessary work that leads to real change.
If you’re looking for warm fuzzies and participation trophies, look elsewhere.
We’ll work toward mental clarity, cutting through the chaos in your mind so you can focus. We’ll bring in intentionality, no more drifting through life. It’s time to take the wheel. We’ll identify your core values, so you can figure out what truly matters. You’ll rediscover your authenticity and stop performing for the world.
We’ll strengthen your relationships, creating real connections that don’t drain you. And yes, we’ll deal with conflict, because avoiding it doesn’t make you peaceful, it just makes you passive. You’ll learn to face problems head-on, like an adult.

Methodology
Step 1
This is a no-pressure first session where we get to know each other. We’ll talk about what you’re looking for, how I work, and see if there’s a real connection. The truth is, good coaching starts with good chemistry, if it doesn’t feel right for either of us, no hard feelings.
Step 2
If we’re both in, we’ll create a clear agreement: how often we’ll meet, how the sessions will be held (online or in-person), and what you can expect from me as your coach. We’ll also establish confidentiality so you know everything you share stays between us.
Step 3
Now we zoom in. This session is about understanding where you are, what’s getting in the way, and what you really want to change or improve. It’s a clear-headed look at the present moment.
Step 4
Together, we’ll shape one specific, meaningful goal to focus our work. Not vague dreams, but something tangible that matters right now and that will have a ripple effect across your life.
Step 5
Once we’re clear on the goal, we’ll design a simple, effective path forward. Each session brings focus, accountability, and new insight. We’ll break it down step by step, adjusting along the way as you grow and gain clarity.
My training includes:
Shadow work
CBT
Systems Theory
Philosophy
Everyone brings their own unique background to the work. I use a mix of therapy & practical coaching, focusing on clear steps and real progress. I keep things straightforward so we can focus on what matters: taking action & creating change.
What I do and focus on includes: Mental clarity, intentionality, alignment with core values, unlocking/reawakening your true self, stopping validation seeking, developing authenticity & relationships, and managing conflict.
