Somewhere inside, you know your coaching could go deeper.
At Depth-Oriented Coaching, we support you to slow down, attune to what’s truly emerging, and hold space that transforms — for your clients, and for yourself. This isn’t about more tools; it’s about a new way of being.
It's about presence that transforms.
EXPLORE OUR PROGRAMS →When insight isn’t enough...
You’ve trained in frameworks, learned to ask powerful questions, and supported meaningful change. Your clients nod, have insights, even feel inspired.
But you’ve also seen what happens when clarity doesn’t lead to movement. When a client says “yes,” but something in them still resists. When insights fade, and old patterns return.
If you’ve felt this gap, you’re not alone. Many skilled coaches find themselves here — sensing that something deeper is possible, but unsure how to access it.
The shift your clients need begins with how you hold the space...
Lasting transformation doesn’t come from tools or insight alone. It comes from presence — embodied, attuned, and grounded in the here and now.
Clients want a different kind of support. They’re asking to be met in the whole of their experience: the parts, the sensations, the emotions. Not fixed or rushed — but included.
Depth-Oriented Coaching supports you to shift from doing more to being more.
When you coach with presence, something changes:
- You feel grounded and confident in the unknown, trusting what’s emerging.
- You slow down and listen deeply — and hear more.
- Clients go deeper because you do, meeting complexity with clarity and care.
- Insights take root as embodied transformation.
- The space between you becomes alive — and that’s where change happens.
This is our ground: cultivating the embodied capacity to hold depth, safety, and relational presence — so you can coach in a way that feels authentic, powerful, and sustainable.

Why I Created Depth-Oriented Coaching
Hi, I'm Satyam Veronica Chalmers.
After 25 years of coaching, mentoring and training thousands of coaches, I realized the most profound shifts don’t come from having more tools - they come from presence.
I remember leaving sessions where clients had insights but I felt something was missing. I was working too hard. When I started to slow down, trust my body, listen below the surface, and let presence guide the way, the sessions began to open into something deeper - something alive and transformational.
Depth-Oriented Coaching was created from that realization. It’s the work of supporting coaches return to presence, so they can hold space with depth, safety, and attunement.
