Coaching that starts with understanding people.

Meet Julie Stelianides, founder of Zelphis.

MEET JULIE

A psychologist’s understanding of people, applied to leadership.

Julie trained as a clinical psychologist in Paris, where she earned two Master’s degrees in clinical psychology. What drew her to the field was a lasting curiosity about people, especially what drives them and what helps them change.

She spent 10 years as a clinical psychologist in French hospitals, working with patients, their families and the teams who cared for them, followed by five years in private practice with adults. Along the way she taught psychology to healthcare students for four years. That work gave her a deep understanding of how people communicate and work together under pressure.

“Coaching lets me help people in a different way, and see the results directly.”

Julie founded Zelphis to bring her psychology and coaching training together and help people in a way that shows direct results. A member of the International Coaching Federation, she works one-to-one with managers, emerging leaders, executives and business owners, most often at small and medium-sized companies.

Mission

Zelphis helps leaders and managers evolve by uncovering the strengths they already have and showing them where they can perform more efficiently, so the teams who rely on them can grow alongside them.

Vision

A world where leaders understand themselves as deeply as they understand their work, and lead their teams with the confidence to keep evolving long after the coaching ends.

“Effective leadership starts with understanding people, including yourself.”
