FOR THOSE WANTING TO LIVE MORE HONESTLY

Life coaching for those who want to arrange their life more honestly

Does this sound familiar?

You are functional on many fronts. Your work runs, relationships are in order, you do what is expected. And still there is something you feel does not quite line up with you.

You do not necessarily have a problem to solve. You have a feeling that does not go away.

You are looking for someone who thinks along with you about how you live, not only about how you perform. Someone who makes room for what you know but do not say out loud.

Sound familiar?

When your life almost fits, but not quite

Most people looking for life coaching do not have an acute crisis. They feel something subtler. A restlessness that keeps returning, even when from the outside everything fits.

You do a lot and have little overview

You are full of things. Work, people, obligations. You get through the days, but pauses to stand still and listen to your needs are rare.

You sense something has to shift but do not know quite what

Relationships, work, living situation, rhythm. One of those areas gnaws. Maybe several. The picture is not clear enough to name, let alone tackle.

You have grown used to the background voice

That voice that says it is not good enough, or that you should be doing more. It has become so normal you barely notice it. But it determines your direction.

What can you expect?

How we work together

Life coaching with me is not a seven-step programme or a mindset reset. It is room for you to look at your life with someone who listens, asks, and dares to be present without laying his judgement on top.

A deeper approach

We do not stay with symptoms. We look at what sits beneath your restlessness, which choices you have made unconsciously, and which you do not yet dare to make. That usually brings more than a list of goals.

The time it needs

Sessions last 1.5 hours. Life questions do not let themselves be ticked off. Everything is welcome. Without judgement, with full attention.

A safe space

What you say here stays here. You can contradict yourself, doubt, or say out loud something you have never spoken.

Flexible in form

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

Lasting change

What life coaching brings you

The result of life coaching is often not one big insight but a sum of small shifts that together make a different life direction.

Clarity about what you really want

Not as mindset, but embodied in calm and recognition. You know better what suits you and what does not. That makes choosing less tiring.

Less inner noise

The critical voice becomes quieter. Not because you push it away, but because you stand more honestly in your own life.

Sharper choices, from calm

You let fewer things slide because they are hard. You say 'yes' sooner where it fits and 'no' sooner where it does not.

Relationships that deepen

When you are clearer about what you want, you can share that too. That deepens contact. Sometimes also because conversations finally go where you used to dance around.

Contact again with what matters to you

Things you had come to see as luxury such as calm, friendship and creativity, get a place again. Not always spectacular. But noticeable.

In depth

How a life coaching package looks

Life coaching is a broad term. I explain here how my packages work, so you know what to expect.

It starts with an intake. An hour in which we see if there is a click and whether your question suits my approach. If we decide to work together, we choose a package that fits you. The exact form and duration we discuss based on where you stand and what you are looking for. More on that below in the packages.

In the first sessions we land. We discuss what is going on. Not so much to translate everything into action, but to get a clear picture of where we work from. Those first sessions are often clarifying in themselves. Many people already discover change there.

After that we work with what comes up at the surface in the moment. Sometimes that is a concrete situation. Sometimes a theme that has been running longer and keeps returning. Sometimes something from your history that still has influence. The form follows what is there.

Between sessions there is space. That is intentional. Most insights do not land during our session, but in the days and weeks after. In the moments when your life offers you what we talked about. You notice you respond differently, or stand still at something you used to walk past.

At the end of the package we look back. What has changed, what is still open, what do you take with you. Some packages end with a clear closing. Others move into a longer, calmer rhythm in which you come back occasionally.

About me

Am I the right life coach for you?

I work with people who feel their life is asking for something they cannot quite name. My approach combines psychology, systemic work and an integral, experience-based way of looking. 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 that looks beyond your surface question
  • Time to think things through without having to do anything
  • A clear view of what really matters to you
  • Experience with people in life questions across different ages
  • Confidential and without judgement

Many employers cover coaching through their training budget, so it's always worth asking. Are the costs a barrier for you? Let me know. There's sometimes room.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about life coaching

For adults in any life phase who want to work on how they live, what rubs, and what could fit better. Not for people in acute crisis needing professional psychological or medical help.
Therapy usually focuses on psychological complaints and diagnoses. Life coaching focuses on how you arrange your life and which choices you make. There is overlap, but the starting point differs. If during coaching it becomes clear that therapy fits better, I refer on.
Often precisely then. People who have done a lot of self-reflection discover with coaching that something valuable is added by someone thinking along who is not in your life.
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. Life coaching can also be done fully online or as a combination of live and online.
An hour-long introduction often gives the answer. You hear how I work, I hear what is going on for you, and we look at whether there is a click. Only then do we choose if and how we go further.
