A SPACE FOR YOU
Imagine a space where judgement is suspended. A space where your thoughts are at the core of a creative conversation. A space where you are professionally supported, so that you can move from where you are in your life or career and towards what you want to create.
Now, imagine walking into that space.
Welcome to Matcha Coaching.
Matcha Coaching is a boutique Life and Career Coaching practice.
We help our clients gain clarity in their lives, choose a direction to move forward in, and feel empowered to take action.
THE 6 PILLARS OF MATCHA COACHING
At Matcha Coaching, our clients are supported as they clarify what they want and align their actions with their true objectives. Achievements that felt out of reach become possible, both in their personal and professional life.
- The method we use is structured but flexible, so as to reflect the unique needs of each one of our clients.
- We use our distilled knowledge from 20+ years of international professional experience prior to becoming a certified Coach to serve our clients’ needs.
- We are client-centric. We work on a selected number of projects at a time, so that our clients can benefit from the attention and focus they deserve.
- We are result-oriented. We don’t see Coaching as any other job, but rather as a responsibility and an opportunity to positively impact people’s lives.
- We are certified by the International Coaching Federation and hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in the Coaching profession.
- We operate 100% online, so that we can meet with our clients wherever they are in the world.
WHY MATCHA?
Matcha is made of ground green tea leaves that are grown and treated with a unique process. Drinking matcha is energising and conducive to reflection, something that is at the centre of our practice. We embrace the analogy with the experience of pausing, engaging in self-discovery, and then feeling empowered to take intentional action.
COMPLEXITY COMES IN DIFFERENT FORMS
People come to us for different reasons, many of which often overlap. They want to:
- Gain clarity about the next steps in their life and career
- Approach life with a perspective that serves them better
- Overcome a roadblock
- Navigate professional challenges or transitions
- Become better leaders
- Start projects that they have been procrastinating
Whatever your reason for reaching out, we will be happy to have a conversation with you and assess together if we are a good fit.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM A COACHING SESSION WITH US
To our sessions, we always bring attentive listening, understanding, belief in you and a sincere commitment to your success.
During our sessions, we will ask powerful, thought-provoking questions, and depending on your needs, share with you other tools that will be functional to your success. We will encourage brainstorming, discussion, and planning for action, thereby helping you accomplish what you desire. You can expect to be offered fresh perspectives and recommendations (including assigning the occasional homework), and guaranteed the utmost confidentiality. Step by step, changes happen, and you will develop more awareness of what you truly want and how to achieve it.
We are deeply committed to discussing what clients are creating in their life.

TESTIMONIALS
Alessandra is a great listener and observer. I discussed with her the skills I struggled to improve and acquire. Although those skills are important to me, I found the process of improving and acquiring them tedious and frustrating, and couldn’t make the progress I wanted. Together we looked at which creative skills I was able to learn and develop in the past, and why I had managed to not give up. Now, when studying something not related to my passions or working on a new language, for example, I am able to find the same pleasure and curiosity I experience when using complex design software.

Due to my legal background and strong forward-looking approach, I’ve always been focused on planning, trying to mitigate the risks and solve possible forthcoming issues. Thanks to Alessandra’s coaching I’ve learnt to stay in the present keeping things simple, to stay more focused on me and to be more aware of my skills. This new mindset is helping me also to be positive: this new approach leads me to reduce the tendency to overthink and worry too much about troubles that may not even arise.
Although Alessandra’s questions were apparently easy to address, I found them instead very demanding. I was also surprised by how they put me in emotional troubles. I was puzzled and amused at the same time in light of the reaction and consequent thoughts they triggered in me. I do believe that the greatest benefit of Alessandra’s coaching was to let me be at “the center” of my life and to allow me to pay proper attention to myself and to my needs instead of those of others, without feeling guilty or selfish.
Alessandra reminded me that I’m the only one who can find my way and that I do not have to go far away to discover my ‘suitable’ lifestyle. You do not need to look so far away to discover that the easiest the answers are, the better they are for you. Be open and honest with yourself and you will find out that the solutions are, most of the time, already in your pocket.
I will be positive and focused on my needs, sharing them honestly and promptly with the people I care the most. As I said to Alessandra, I would like to see myself in the near future “on the road driving a comfortable car that proceeds at my speed, enjoying the landscape with someone beside me.” Finally, entering soon in my fifties I understood that I have to put attention on myself, working on my life and my individual plans instead of insisting on things I can’t change, following my values and my priorities whatever it takes.

Although 2021 was our strongest financial year on record, our organization was not set up for success to achieve our long term vision so I reached out to Alessandra to help me address that. By working with her now I have a clear understanding of the leader I am vs the leader I want to become and how to get there. The learnings I’ve already put into practice to address specific issues all delivered positive outcomes. I am confident the organization will evolve to where it needs to be and can’t thank Alessandra enough for her contribution.

My coaching sessions with Alessandra were a transformative experience. Alessandra helped me find the tools to identify my strengths and positive paths away from derailing self-talks professionally but also holistically. Alessandra is competent, thorough and empathetic in her approach and profound in how she guides you in the journey of self-discovery and empowerment. I will be forever grateful for her time, her ability to listen and guide and I completely recommend booking sessions with her.
Grazie Alessandra!

I’m on my first coaching journey with Alessandra. What an amazing experience! Starting from your professional life, conversations can also touch on your private life, although without getting mixed with any form of psychotherapy or analysis: that’s the job of other professionals. A coach won’t help you solve your problems. A coach will rather put you in a position where you are able to immediately adopt the approach that you feel is the right one for you at that moment, and for the goal you have set for yourself. This is a unique journey that I am really happy I have undertaken very naturally and gently. Also, Alessandra is fantastic: a very serious and empathetic professional, she is able to guide you in a discreet way, and then help you synthesize what you really want. I recommend a coaching journey to anyone who is not afraid of challenging themselves, who wants to bring out their values and skills for a more positive and serene management of the reality that surrounds us.

Alessandra is extremely helpful, fair, attentive, very focused on the person in front of her. She is a good listener and will encourage you if necessary, joining the conversation when she finds the right cue to guide clients on their journey of self-discovery and goal-setting.
Alessandra brings a positive attitude and a smile to all sessions. The client feels at ease and genuinely free to let their thoughts flow, make considerations and set goals. With Alessandra’s support, this self-reflection leads to small and big steps of personal and life improvement. These changes happen without disrupting one’s life. They rather build on what the client has already achieved, turning what is positive into an even more pro-positive action. On the other hand, what is less positive is analysed and becomes an opportunity for growth.
Alessandra has the ability to guide her clients towards very practical and measurable objectives, so that people working with her can quickly appreciate the fruit of the mental work done together.
I recommend working with her.
Thank you very much, Alessandra!
Carlo F.
By the end of 2021, I found myself feeling stuck in a rut. I couldn’t think clearly about what I wanted in life, which was a first in my lifetime. So I set myself the goal of getting a life coach for 2022 after receiving advice around life coaching and I can honestly say that the whole experience has fascinated me. While I knew I had the answers I needed inside me, I didn’t know how to find them and was getting frustrated with myself. Without the coaching from Alessandra I know I would most definitely be still stuck in that stagnant place. Despite any nerves or apprehension, you may have about this process, you will be instantly calmed by Alessandra’s kind, patient and trustful nature. The safe space she creates is paramount for her and for you to really be your true self. Alessandra has an amazing way of listening so intently while gently supporting you to navigate through any tangles you might find your thought space in. After each session, I could see and feel the mist clearing in my thinking and was so energized by the process. Just after a few sessions, this clarity of thinking and mind appeared which I could implement in my daily life. I am so proud of how far I have come through the process. While the journey is never finished I am so grateful to Alessandra for her patience, her attention, and most of all her coaching. She has inspired me to adopt this type of practice into my life forever. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alessandra to anyone and to be honest anyone privileged enough to have her time will be so thankful they did.

THE COACH
Hello, my name is Alessandra Melchionda and I am delighted to welcome you to Matcha Coaching.
I am a Life and Career Coach, certified by the International Coaching Federation (Professional Certified Coach, PCC)*. I am also a Mentor and an Executive Skills and Personal Planning Expert.
Prior to becoming a Life and Career Coach, I worked for over 20 years in various industries and with different responsibilities. I spent the first half of my career working in SMEs, and then over 10 years at Facebook – now Meta – where my main focus was on strategic operations, sales & marketing solutions. During my corporate career, I also had the opportunity to coach, mentor and train many of my amazing colleagues.
After leaving Facebook, I decided to finally focus on people development, and became a certified Life & Career Coach. I have since then been blessed with an ever-increasing interest from clients, which led me to set up Matcha Coaching. Learn more about me
