What clients discover — real stories of growth, clarity and lasting change
“Val has helped guide and keep me on track of personal work goals. It has been a transformative experience that has helped me navigate towards value-based solutions that feel authentic.
What sets Val apart is her genuine care, deep listening skills, unwavering support and ability to find common threads, giving feedback, and honest support. This has helped me uncover areas of growth and strengths I did not realize in myself. I look forward to our sessions together and know I am moving forward.”
Susan Faulkner, Principal CBE Rosedale School“Working with Val has been transformative. She held my story with kindness and clarity. Created space for my dreams and intuition to take shape so I could transition into a new career. Thanks to her I am on my way to becoming a registered therapist.”
Jennifer Roberts, Learning Specialist“Val’s background as an actor and director brings depth, creativity, and insight to her coaching, along with a calm, grounded presence and natural wisdom that creates space for reflection and growth. Her artistic sensibility allows her to guide with nuance, clarity, and compassion. She helped me see myself and my experiences in new ways. I would highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a coach who combines insight, presence, creativity, and genuine care as a coach.”

Valerie Planche, MFA
As an award-winning actor, director and facilitator for over 35 years, my transition to coaching is a natural one. Working with different groups of actors and changing work environments with every new contract built resilience, skills, and confidence in myself…and now it’s a practice I can offer you.
I take a holistic approach to coaching, combining mindset strategies, actionable goal setting, and proven frameworks to empower my clients to make lasting changes in their personal and professional lives.
I draw on a deep understanding of human behavior and performance psychology to guide my clients through transformation. My background includes an MFA from the University of Alberta with a focus in engaged presence. I have also facilitated workshops in voice and movement both privately and in corporate settings. I have also worked as a teacher at the University of Calgary.
I am passionate about working with leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals and their teams who are committed to growth, authentic collaboration and communication, and are ready to push past limitations to create real results. My coaching methodology is rooted in strengths-based, client-centered, mindfulness and accountability-driven coaching, and I offer a collaborative, supportive space where clients can reflect, reframe, and take bold action toward their aspirations.
In addition to building my own coaching practice, I am an Associate with Precipice Development and a member of the International Coaching Federation. I completed the Business Coaching Advantage Program with PeopleDynamics Learning Group.
