Yannick is one of the first generation of coaches to choose coaching and positive psychology as a first career. Since 2005 he’s been studying human behaviour, change processes, positive psychology as well as applied philosophy and quickly put his coaching skills to use with private clients from a young age. In 2011 Yannick trained as a mediator (Alternative Dispute Resolution) at London’s renowned Regent’s University and has since been helping clients resolve complex disputes with other people as well as manage conflicts within themselves. In parallel to his psychology work, Yannick co-founded two start ups working in action and extreme sports (YouSpots) and the events industry (Push Culture), respectively. As his coaching progressed, Yannick began to work with a variety of clients from small business owners, employees in the tech industry in San Francisco and New York (via GoalSpriing) to leaders in transition, clients seeking to increase their levels of happiness and wellbeing (PosPsych) and anybody considering themselves to be in a “position of great responsibility” (existential). In 2015 Yannick took over the programme-leadership of University of East London’s acclaimed MSc Coaching Psychology and started teaching coaching skills to all of UEL’s coaching-related MSc programmes. In the same year he also started to work with Animas Centre for Coaching having designed and delivering their training courses on Existential Coaching and Positive Psychology Coaching. Yannick left the University of East London in 2018 and now delivers training, coaching, supervision and conflict resolution services in private practice and works to raise the profile of existential coaching, existential leadership and existential resilience. He is a sought after guest lecturer and speaker, teaches at The School of Life and the School of Positive Transformation, presents at conferences internationally and his book, An Introduction to Existential Coaching, was published by Routledge in 2019.
