For professionals that feel there is more to life than this
There is a whisper, somewhere inside:
‘This is not my whole story’.
It’s time to write your next chapter.
Coaching: job results & selfconfidence
You have it all. A good education, a sharp mind, professional expertise. You know what needs to be done.
And yet, you run into your own limitations like perfectionism, being hard on yourself or working too hard. Lots of ‘have to’s’, too little playfulness. Giving plenty of space, not firmly standing your ground.
Missing home or dealing with cultural differences doesn’t make things easier, to say the least.
Putting even more pressure on yourself? You know that is not the answer.
Somewhere deep down, you know things need to change. But how do you break these patterns? That is where coaching comes in. To break old patterns, and to grow – in stability, in clarity, and in freedom.
It might be these doubts also whisper ...
As you consider coaching, you almost always encounter doubts and fears. Perhaps you recognize one of these inner voices:
‘Coaching is for people who are ‘worse off’ – I’m doing pretty okay.’
‘What if it turns out I just want to go home? Do I really want that?’
‘Suppose I let go of my critical voice… will I stay focused then?’
‘Surely I should be able to solve this myself!’
‘What if my employer invests in coaching… and I’m not able to make a change?’
So you decide to postpone it for a while or try again on your own. But imagine that you are still standing in exactly the same place in two or ten years from now. Is that a risk you want to take?
It’s time to choose your own growth. With support, guidance and encouragement.

The benefits of coaching
Mirror
I hold up a mirror to you and ask the questions that others might not dare to ask. Without judgment and in a safe way, you discover why you act the way you do.
Direction
Changes can feel overwhelming. Coaching helps you navigate, shows you new possibilities, and helps you gain clarity to make the right choices.
Balance
Blockages can keep you stuck: if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you always got. Together, we'll remove them – so you'll feel more resourceful and at ease.
Transformation
You not only solve concrete current problems; you'll also notice the effect more broadly in your life. In your relationships and in the choices you make.
What can you expect?
You are the one that determines the pace and theme in every session.
You’ll discover what you need, what resources have always been inside of you, and how you can – finally – utilize them.
I offer:
- my curious, inquisitive gaze
- a non-judgmental space
- a wealth of proven working methods
- not just talking about but also feeling and doing
- and also...
- discovering what is really holding you back
- new choices that suit you, not what 'should' or 'must' be done
- growing step by step, with support
This is for you if you:
- repeatedly feel stuck, despite your insights, your hard work, and the fact that you have 'already tried everything'
- want more confidence in yourself and in your choices without mirroring the needs of others
- want to learn to listen to what your body and your gut tell you about your needs and wants
- want more than just tips and really want to understand and break free of your unhelpful patterns

FAQs
What if I don't really know what my goal is yet?
That is part of the process. We don’t start with the goal, but with what you notice: a lingering thought, a tension blocking you, or a pattern you keep getting stuck in. Even ‘feeling nothing’ can be a starting point. Once we have clarified the core of what is blocking you, the coaching goal emerges naturally, without you needing to know it right now.
How do you work? What makes your way of work different?
I work with 5 different methods: NLP, Social Panorama, Core Transformation, Wholeness Work en Systemic work (also known as constellation work ) and sometimes a bit of Transactional Analysis.
Every session is unique and made to measure. We’ll use what you need at that specific moment in time.
Where and how do these sessions take place?
The sessions take place at my home practice in Haarlem (Van Kinsbergenplein 23), where you can park for free in the neighborhood.
Do you prefer online? That is also possible! We start with an initial in-person session in Haarlem to get acquainted. After that, we continue working online – whatever is most comfortable for you.
What is your vision on growing in confidence?
Moments of transition, not knowing for a while, getting stuck. These feel like obstacles, but they are also opportunities to grow in your confidence.
That confidence usually doesn’t grow in big leaps, but in small, conscious steps; by feeling what is really going on and connecting with your own inner resources. It is a balance between self-exploration and action, between stillness and movement.
For me, growing in confidence primarily means daring to look in places you didn’t look before, gaining appreciation for your own qualities, and discovering step by step that you are capable of more than you thought. That is how ‘I don’t know how’ turns into ‘I’m doing this, in my own way’.
What are the costs
Many employers have an annual budget for personal development. The investment for coaching depends on your needs and the program. Contact me and we can discuss what suits you best. I will then prepare a no-obligation, customized offer for your employer.
