What do I offer?

I believe that overall life is pretty great! However, sometimes it can challenge the hell out of us.

We human beings are very capable of dealing with most of these challenges ourselves, but once in a while a challenge comes along that is bigger than we can handle. This happens at a different time and in a different manner for everyone.

Whether our challenges are big or small, we could all use someone in our corner from time to time. A person to talk to about our relationships, our work, our dreams and our fears. A person who can hold our story, offer insights and facilitate our growth. A person who can help us learn our lesson and take a step towards living our lives more authentically.

I would love to be that person for you!

What kind of challenges can I help you with?

  • Reducing feelings of tension and stress

  • Finding a sense of purpose, both in your career and in your private life

  • Dealing with complex relationships (romantic, family or friendship)

  • Experiencing more strength and confidence in your life

  • Reconnecting with your feelings, spending less time in your head

  • Understanding how to live a life filled with pleasure and happiness again

Way of working

All coaches work a little differently – influenced by their training, the setting in which they practice, their own family history and their personal experiences. 

I integrate my own experience from the worlds of business, academia and coaching to provide my clients with a structured approach that is simultaneously educational, practical and compassionate

My goal is to provide effective interventions for current concerns while also facilitating longer-term change.

The first step is for us to have a chemistry check, a comprehensive intake with thought-provoking questions which we can do live, over the phone or via Zoom. This 45-minute, free consultation helps us both decide if we want to work together.

Research shows that the relationship is 70% of what makes the process effective, so it’s important that we both feel there’s a fit.

After the chemistry check, I will build a plan for our work together, bringing in all of the tools in my bag to dissolve blockages, heal old wounds and bring excitement to new ways of doing things.

The plan integrates the following tools:

  • Systemic work: Understand your roots
  • Transactional Analysis: Heal the past
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Work with your unconscious self
  • Neuro Linguistic Programming: Change your brain
  • Positive Psychology: Create the future
  • Mindfulness: Live in the now


I will also mention the number of sessions and the costs of the coaching.

Time to decide! Based on the plan I have build for you and the fit you felt during our chemistry check, you can decide whether you feel you want to work with me. If the answer is ‘yes’, we will schedule the first couple of sessions.

No two clients are exactly alike, so neither are any two sessions. The content of the coaching is 100% your agenda.

The entire process is designed to inspire and encourage new ways of thinking about where you’ve come from, what you’re bringing to life and where you want life to take you. I will use all the tools at my disposal – from a range of coaching psychology models – to facilitate your personal growth. Sessions are spent working on ’the plan’ or whatever might have come up for you since the last session that needs attending to.

I am structured in my way of working and ensure you maintain a sense of safety and direction. Also, there is plenty of space to dig deeper into your learnings, with new realizations and opportunities as an outcomeNo two clients are exactly alike, so neither are any two sessions. The content of the coaching is 100% your agenda.

Questions you might have

I am a native Dutch speaker and spent part of my childhood growing up in the US, which makes me feel comfortable to coach in Dutch as well as in English. 

You should typically anticipate a couple of months’ worth of work, meeting every two to three weeks. The exact number of sessions (typically 90 minutes each) and timeline depend on what you would like to achieve, and how much work you have done on yourself before. 

The private rate is €195,- (including VAT) per session. 

Is your company offering to pay for the coaching sessions or do you have a trainings budget that you can use? Please contact me directly, so I can create a plan that fits the allocated budget.

The coaching sessions take place at Het Coachhuis – Raamweg 4 in Den Haag.

Alternatively, Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Hangouts are definitely options. COVID has taught me that it is not always necessary to see each other live for the coaching to have impact.

Is there anything else you want to know? Another question you want to ask? Just give me a call or send me an email.
