Coaching for women looking for room for themselves

Does this sound familiar?

You have many roles. Employee, partner, mother, daughter, caregiver, leader. You fill them well. And at the same time you notice that a part of you gets buried under all those roles.

Your question is not what you could do better. Your question is how to come back to what you really want and who you really are.

You are looking for someone who works with you on room for yourself without it becoming a performance. Someone who helps see which expectations you let wash over you, which patterns you pass on, and how you can make choices that are truly yours.

Sound familiar?

How women often carry more than is visible

Many women carry more than they show. Expectations, care, responsibility for others, the emotional work in relationships. That is not part of the job, that is what you do on top.

You care for others before yourself

You notice your system is by default focused on others. Your partner, your children, your colleagues, your family. Caring for yourself feels like what remains when everything is done, and that moment rarely comes.

You say 'yes' while feeling 'no'

Not because you do not know boundaries, but because the price of saying 'no' seems too big. You have often said yes to keep relationships smooth, to be careful, not to be a bother. You erase yourself.

You feel restless about who you have become

Not necessarily unhappy, but also not entirely yourself. Much of who you have become came from what others expected, what culture imposed, what seemed normal. The question of what is yours and what is not remains.

What can you expect?

How we work together

Coaching for women with me is not a specific methodology or women's circle. It is work in which we make room for what sits beneath your roles and for what truly feeds or drains you.

A deeper approach

We do not get stuck in everything you do. That is undoubtedly a lot. We look at who you really are. What wants to be seen and how does it get the room?

The time it needs

Sessions last 1.5 hours. For those who care a lot, that time is often needed to settle out of care mode. 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 as you are. All is welcome.

Flexible in form

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

Lasting change

What coaching for women brings you

Women who finish a package often say they come home to themselves more. Not as performance, but as underlying ground.

Room for what you really want

You learn to feel the difference between what you have learned to do and what you really need. That gives sharper choices.

Clearer boundaries that do not have to shout

Not as resistance, but as clarity. You know better what you do and do not want to carry, and you name that more clearly. You take your place.

Honest conversations in relationships

With partner, children, parents, colleagues. You learn to say something you have not spoken for long. Sometimes uncomfortable, often clarifying.

Less guilt when you choose yourself

Not because you have become more selfish, but because you know better that caring for yourself does not cost others. More likely the opposite.

Something you cannot explain afterwards

For many women the coaching also works on a layer you cannot fully put in words afterwards. You feel more solid, or more open, or freer.

In depth

How a coaching for women package unfolds

Coaching for women with me is not a women's circle or a specific methodology. It is individual coaching, one-on-one, in which we work at your pace on what is going on for you.

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 women this first conversation is already different from conversations they know. Not because something specific happens, but because there is someone who has attention for you without an agenda.

If we decide to work together, we choose a package. The duration we discuss together. For deeper work a bit more time often fits.

In the first sessions you build trust. Between us, but also in the idea that this is a room entirely for you. Many women notice that in the first sessions they start saying things they have never spoken out loud.

After that we work with what shows up. Sometimes that is a concrete situation. A boundary that is not clear. A choice in front of you. A relationship that rubs. Sometimes less concrete. A restlessness, a longing, an emptiness you cannot place. We work with what shows up in the moment, without judgement and with curiosity.

Between sessions there is space. A lot of work happens there, without doing much for it. A few days after a session women often notice they react slightly differently, choose slightly differently. That is where the coaching lands.

At the end of the package we look back. What have you learned to see, what have you changed, what is still open. Some women close clearly. Others decide to continue at a calmer pace.

What this form offers is something many women do not so easily find elsewhere. A place where you do not have to care, do not have to solve, do not have to prove. That alone is for many a difference.

About me

Am I the right coach for women for you?

I work with women who feel they carry a lot and who want to work on what sits beneath those roles. 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 clichés about femininity
  • Time to settle out of care mode
  • A clear view of what really matters to you
  • Experience with women in various life phases
  • Confidential and without judgement

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about coaching for women

Not because I have unique knowledge of female experience, but because many women specifically want to work on what sits beneath their roles, and a neutral, attentive setting fits that. The choice is yours whether that fits.
No, I work individually. For women's circles there are other coaches who work specifically in that. If that fits you better, I gladly refer.
No. Many women 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 women can also be done fully online or as a combination of live and online.
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.
