Coaching for men who want to look further

Does this sound familiar?

You have done a lot and carried a lot. Work, family, responsibilities. You were often the one who pushed on when others stopped, who solved what otherwise stayed undone, who hardly complained.

And now there is something you no longer simply put aside.

You are not a man who pulls the alarm at the first signal. That makes it stranger that this keeps returning. You notice that the strategy of pushing on and quiet work is no longer the answer. You are not looking for someone who knows it all better. You are looking for someone who stands beside you without judgement and works out with you how you really are.

Sound familiar?

How men get stuck more often than you think

Many men only speak up late. Not necessarily from a lack of feeling, but because the lines for expression are not so easy. As a result certain things remain unseen longer than is good.

You are used to catching others

At work, at home, in friendships. You are the one who stays stable when others wobble. That usually works, but there comes a moment when your own signals slowly push you to the edge.

Talking comes less easily than you want to admit

Not because you feel nothing. But because you are not used to just saying it out loud. And because you are not sure it leads anywhere.

Your role weighs heavily on who you are

As father, partner, leader, son. You know what is expected of you and you meet it. Beneath those roles lies something that is less seen, and it is calling more loudly.

What can you expect?

How we work together

Coaching for men with me is not a course about masculinity. It is a place where your story is welcome, including the parts you speak less at home or at work.

A deeper approach

We do not stay on the level of what visibly does not fit. We look at what sits beneath. What you have learned about what a man does, what you carry of that, and what you actually want to let go.

The time it needs

Sessions last 1.5 hours. For men less used to letting their inner world in, that time is often needed to truly land. Everything is welcome. Without judgement, with full attention.

A safe space

What you say here stays here. You do not have to be strong, not soft, not anything in particular. You may be who you really are, with everything that comes with that.

Flexible in form

Sessions take place on location in The Hague (indoor or outdoor), online, or a combination.

Lasting change

What coaching for men brings you

Men who finish a package often say they have not become someone else. They are more a version of themselves they had previously set aside.

Room to feel without solving immediately

You do not have to turn every signal into a plan. Something can be there for a while, that is allowed, and it moves on by itself.

Honest conversations at home

With your partner, your children, your parents. You learn to say something you have not spoken for a long time. That is sometimes uncomfortable, but it makes everything lighter, for everyone.

Sharper view of what you carry and why

You see better which responsibilities are really yours and which you took on because no one else did. That makes choices and priorities clearer.

More joy in what you do

Not because you suddenly have to do less. But because you know better what you do and do not carry along. That makes what remains easier to carry.

Something you do not need to put in words

For many men this coaching works on a layer you cannot quite explain afterwards. You feel more solid, or lighter, or more open, without anything dramatic seeming to have changed.

In depth

How a coaching for men package unfolds

Coaching for men with me is not an upgraded workshop. It is individual coaching, one-on-one, in which we work at your own pace.

It starts with an intake. An hour in which we see if there is a click and whether your question suits my approach. For many men this first conversation is already different from conversations they know. Not because exotic methods come into play, but because there is someone who stays calm and has no haste.

If we decide to work together, we choose a package. The duration we discuss together in the intake. For deeper work a bit more time is often more fitting, because for many men a few layers have to come off before the actual work begins.

In the first sessions you build trust. Between us, but mainly also in the process. You notice you do not have to perform, do not have to prove, do not have to function. That is in itself a shift. For many men it is an unfamiliar idea that you can simply be somewhere.

After that we work with what shows up. Sometimes that is concrete. A situation at work, things at home, a conflict that has been running. Sometimes it is less concrete. Restlessness, a sense of emptiness, a drive you cannot quite place. I work with what you bring, not with what I think you should bring.

Between sessions there is space. A lot of work happens there, without doing anything for it. Often you notice that a few days after the session things feel different.

At the end of the package we look back. What has changed, what have you learned to see differently, what do you want to take with you. Some men close clearly. Others decide to continue, because new layers have opened. Both is good.

What this form of coaching offers is something many men do not so easily find elsewhere in their lives. A place to be without strategy. That alone is for many a substantial difference.

About me

Am I the right coach for men for you?

I work with men who feel that their fixed way of pushing on is no longer enough and who want to find out what is really going on beneath the roles they carry. My approach combines psychology, systemic work and Eastern wisdom. No fixed step-by-step plan, no quick fix. But room to see more deeply what is actually going on and to move from there with more clarity. I work on location in The Hague. Sessions live indoor or outdoor, online or in combination.

What you can expect from me

  • A conversation without stereotypes about masculinity
  • Time to feel something without immediately solving
  • A clear view of what really matters to you
  • Experience with men in various life phases
  • Confidential and without judgement

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about coaching for men

Not because men need different coaching, but because many men find their way to coaching less easily. A page specifically for men lowers the threshold a little. The approach is not fundamentally different from coaching in general.
I work individually. There are other colleagues who offer men's circles and groups, which works well for some men. If that fits you better, I gladly refer.
No. Many men come with a question that is not yet sharp. That is fine. Sharpening together is the start of the work.
It depends on the package and on your question. The packages below show the options. We choose together what fits where you stand right now.
The Programme consists of an intake and three sessions and costs 495 euros (165 euros per session), the same rate for business excluding VAT. If you want to continue afterwards, you can take a follow-up block of three sessions or book single sessions at 165 euros per session. For more intensive challenges we make a tailored proposal.
Sessions take place on location in The Hague. We can work live, indoor or outdoor, depending on what fits. Coaching for men can also be done fully online or as a combination of live and online. Walking outside often works well for many men.
Yes. Coaching is different from therapy. They can complement each other. If during coaching we notice that therapy fits better, we discuss that and I refer on.
