Coaching
Thoughts that you can’t do something, you’re not good enough or others are better than you are? Constantly seeking affirmation while in reality you’re more than capable? Dreading you’ll be unmasked as the ‘imposter’ you believe you are? These are paralysing, crippling thoughts that are distracting you from your true talents. Does all this sound familiar?
Learn to live your true self!
In my coaching sessions, you’ll discover who you truly are, not who you think you are. You’ll rediscover your true self. Your strengths. Your self-confidence. And you’ll seek answers to the question, ‘What do I really want?’
The aim is to bring your desired reality within reach. To experience and feel what it is that’s holding you back. And to take action to break free of these shackles.
My strength as a coach is my ability to create a space in which you seek and find your own answers and solutions. This is the only way change can become permanent.

1-on-1 coaching
I regularly coach clients online using Zoom – free from any distractions and focused fully on you. I also offer in-person coaching sessions in and around Amsterdam, Hilversum and Utrecht, as well as in-company sessions on request.
Generally speaking, you’ll need between five and seven sessions lasting 90 minutes to make good progress towards achieving your personal goals. Sometimes just a single session is all you’ll need to ‘reboot’ yourself, for example, if you’ve been in coaching before and have simply lost your focus.
Coaching is highly valuable. Is it scary? No! Enlightening? For sure! Confrontational? Sometimes! Learn to give your true self a voice and to listen to this voice.

Nowadays, employers and HR professionals are used to investing in their most valuable assets – their staff. After all, highly satisfied, intrinsically motivated staff are vital to a company’s success. They motivate one another, and the stronger and more self-confident they become individually, the more they achieve collectively.
The perfect gift!
Why not give your staff coaching sessions as a gift? Free from goals. Free from demands. Taking away any pressure to ‘perform’ makes coaching far more accessible.
Peace of mind!
People feel more at ease revealing their vulnerabilities, expressing their ambitions and looking candidly into a mirror when there’s no pressure to perform. This lack of inhibition gives even more room for growth. What’s more, you’ll even reach those staff members who are perhaps not so readily inclined to be coached.
So, how does it work in practice?
- Introductory session on Zoom lasting approx. 20 to 30 minutes. Free of charge and no strings attached! We’ll briefly discuss your coaching needs. And most importantly of all, determine whether there’s a ‘click’. I’ll explain the coaching process.
- In the first actual coaching session, we’ll dig a little deeper into your coaching needs and create an action plan. What’s your desired reality look like, and what do you want to achieve? What’s keeping you back?
- In subsequent sessions, I’ll gain clearer insights into your thoughts and feelings. Your written reflections (assignments) will give me even greater insights. You’ll discover what works for you and start putting this into daily practice. Personal leadership in action!
Workshop I – Boost your self‑confidence
An introduction to dealing with the impact of negative thought patterns. You’ll discover how negative thought patterns hinder you in your daily life.
Next, you’ll learn how to start transforming these thoughts into new options.
Ultimately, we’ll use these techniques to start making tangible steps towards achieving your desired reality or goal.

Workshop II – Experiencing feeling
Get out of your head and into your body! We’ll explore how to apply Technique 7 to taming your inner critic. Learn to feel! Because our brains dominate how we go about our daily lives, we’re almost always ‘stuck’ in our heads – that busy, busy, busy sensation!
We can achieve a far calmer state almost instantaneously by connecting more to our feelings and emotions. In the here and now.
And this workshop’s definitely for you if you think you can’t feel!
Within your own safe space, we’ll explore what it can mean to you to experience feelings. We’ll do a series of exercises, each designed to let you experience what it’s like to connect fully with your feelings and emotions. Some of the exercises will be real eye-openers for you!

Group support coaching – back to your essence!
Meeting your true self. Who are you when you peel away the outer layers of your thoughts and behaviours? When you acknowledge your inner critic’s existence and consciously decide to ignore it?
Only then can you create the space for your true self to emerge. What’s more, rediscovering your true self will boost your self-confidence, increase your courage and give you insights into what you really want in life.
Group support coaching sessions are held on Zoom. And I attend too – live. There’s nothing quite as invigorating as coming together in the intimate setting of a small group of people each with their own personal challenges …
- Looking to make a career change but lacking the courage to take the plunge.
- Being able to set boundaries.
- Gaining greater self-confidence.
- Finding peace of mind.
- Learning to listen to your authentic inner voice.
Thanks to the safe environment I create for all the participants, sharing and acknowledging one another’s challenges helps everyone discover new and incredible insights and solutions. And I’ll endeavour to make sure that these translate into action and lasting change.
You’ll learn to take charge of your life based on your true self. Using ‘Growth Mindset’ principles and my ‘7 Techniques for Taming Your Inner Critic’, I’ll help each participant chart an individual course for ongoing personal and professional development.
Groups of three, four or five participants.
