Coaching in English
Life coaching in English – in Wetzikon and online for Zurich and Zug
For everyday topics that are hard to put into words in a second language: stress, high sensitivity, boundaries, emotions. In person in Wetzikon or online via Zoom.
In short: I am Winn Chelini, a life coach in Wetzikon in the Zurich Oberland. I coach in English and German – in person at Ettenhauserstrasse 46 in Wetzikon, or online via Zoom, which works from Zurich, Zug or anywhere else in Switzerland. Sessions last 60 minutes and cost CHF 140 in person or CHF 130 online; the introductory session of about 20 minutes is free.
Who this is for
Coaching in English is a good fit if …
- you moved to Switzerland for work and would rather talk about personal things in English
- you speak some German, but not well enough to put feelings into words
- you live in or around Zurich or Zug and want a coach you can also see in person now and then
- you are looking for life coaching, not therapy and not a diagnosis
If you moved here for work, some of the load is invisible: a new language, no family nearby, unwritten rules at work that nobody explains. That is not weakness – and you do not have to explain it in German.
What we can work on
One-to-one life coaching for everyday topics. Each page explains how I work on it – all of it is available in English.
Stress and burnout
Constant stress, exhaustion, recovery after burnout – and the line to therapy.
High sensitivity
Managing stimulation and recovery – with a coach who is highly sensitive himself.
Boundaries and self-worth
Saying no without guilt and without hardening.
Emotional overwhelm
Noticing and regulating your feelings instead of withdrawing.
Men and emotions
Understanding feelings – no drama, no mask.
Emotional intimacy
When your partner wants more closeness – coaching for you alone, not couples therapy.
Where we meet: Wetzikon or online
In-person sessions take place in Wetzikon, at Ettenhauserstrasse 46 in the Zurich Oberland. I have no office in Zurich or Zug. From there – or from anywhere else in Switzerland – we work online via Zoom; in my experience, that works very well for most of these topics.

How the free introductory session works
The introductory session takes about 20 minutes, via Zoom or phone. You tell me briefly what brings you, I ask a few questions, and we see whether coaching makes sense for you – and whether we are a good fit. It is not a sales call: you book nothing at the end and decide in your own time.
The booking form is in German. If you would rather not use it, call me on +41 78 239 12 12 or write to winn.chelini@chw-coaching.ch.
Coach or therapist?
Coaching is not psychotherapy. If you need a diagnosis, medication or a sick note, your family doctor (Hausarzt or Hausärztin) is the first stop; a psychiatrist or psychotherapist treats mental illness. Coaching fits when you are stable enough to work on your everyday life and want to change something.
