about me
I partner with you to create meaningful change — with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
I’m Fern Deng, a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation. I’m also a counsellor-in-training (graduating in June 2026) who can support individuals holistically in their mental health and well-being.
I work with individuals and leaders who are navigating growth, transitions, and moments of self-questioning — whether in their careers, relationships, leadership roles, or personal lives.
My clients often come to coaching when something feels misaligned: they may be successful on the outside, yet uncertain, stretched, or disconnected on the inside. Through a reflective and empowering coaching partnership, I support them in reconnecting with what matters most and moving forward with clarity and confidence.
“When I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

TESTIMONIALS
What My Clients are Saying
Fern provided coaching services to me from October to December 2020 via Zoom. The sessions were the most beneficial for me to identify the crux of an issue that I was struggling with. As Fern was highly perceptive and collected, the chats with her allowed me to navigate my emotions and thoughts in an effective and healthy way.

I had the privilege of being coached by Fern during my M3 Khrysalis Coaching Certification journey, and she has been an exceptional mentor. Her coaching presence, clarity, deep listening, and insightful questioning helped me stretch my thinking and gain understanding. She models what true ICF-aligned coaching looks like — calm, grounded, ethical, and empowering. I am grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and inspiring coaching mentor.

Joining the ICF ACC (Khrysalis Coaching Series) with Fern as my trainer was both challenging and transformative. At the start, I was focused on chasing the accreditation and doubted whether the coaching process could truly create change.
Fern’s way of holding the space stretched me in ways I initially resisted, but those were the very moments that led to my biggest growth. Through her presence and simple yet powerful questions, I was able to confront things I had been avoiding for years and discover deeper awareness within myself.
This journey shifted me from skepticism to trust, from performance to presence, and from doing coaching to truly being a coach. I am deeply grateful for Fern’s guidance and the transformation I experienced under her mentorship and in my coaching journey.
Fern is a coach and trainer who does not just teach but transforms.

Working with Fern has been a deeply grounding and transformative experience. From the very first session, I felt genuinely seen and heard — without judgment, without being rushed, and without needing to have all the answers.
Fern creates a coaching space that feels safe yet powerfully clarifying. She asks thoughtful, incisive questions that helped me uncover patterns I wasn’t aware of, and gently challenged me to reconnect with what truly matters to me. Through our sessions, I gained clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self-trust — both in my work and in my personal life.
What sets Fern apart is her ability to balance deep empathy with sharp insight. She doesn’t tell you what to do; she empowers you to find your own answers and move forward with intention. I walked away from our work not just with solutions, but with a new way of relating to myself. I would highly recommend Fern to anyone seeking meaningful and sustainable change.

Coach Fern facilitated the session very effectively by guiding me to think deeply about my issue and arrive
at my own conclusions. As I tend to process my thinking by talking things through, her insightful observations and well-timed, open-ended prompts, such as “Tell me more”, allowed me to reflect at my own pace.
The generous use of wait time meant that I never felt rushed, which created a calm and supportive environment for reflection. I was particularly struck by Coach Fern’s attentiveness to my facial expressions and tone of voice. Her observations brought aspects of my thinking and emotions to my awareness that I had not consciously noticed, helping to affirm and clarify my thoughts.
The most effective aspect of Coach Fern’s support was her ability to help me clarify and work through a long-standing issue within the time available during the session. This concern had been on my mind for some time, so being able to achieve meaningful clarity and progress within a single session felt like a very effective and purposeful use of our time together.

Fern was my trainer for a Mandatory course as part of my Professional Development as a Team Leader – Family Coach with the Ministry of Social and Family Development.
Her ability to make what seemed to be a heavy topic, to be discussed over 2 full days, easy and palatable to a group of practitioners is truly remarkable.
She turned a group of Family Coaches into talking and sharing experiences and thoughts on the topic at hand so easily that it made time flew past too quickly.
She was also able to adapt the content and steer the discussions, making all of them relevant to the work of Family Coaches.
Her positivity and cheerful self make the 2 days so fun and engaging and missing any second of that lovely personality is time that we cannot afford to lose!
I truly recommend Fern as your trainer, facilitator, coach, mentor or friend. Thank you Fern for making my journey to be a coach a delightful one!
