This is where it begins.
You might be carrying more than most people around you realise. The exhaustion of keeping up appearances. The quiet grief of not quite recognising yourself anymore. And underneath it all — a search for something that actually feels meaningful.
This is where that search can start to take shape.

One-to-one coaching for people who are ready to stop going through the motions and start building a life that actually fits.
We work at your pace, with honesty and without judgement. Using ACT as our foundation — and drawing on systemic coaching where it’s useful — we get to the heart of what matters to you and start moving from there.
Sessions last 1 hour, available online or in person (Loenen aan de Vecht).
Most clients start with 6 sessions — and booking a block of 6 upfront comes with a 10% discount. No pressure, just an option worth knowing about. There’s no fixed commitment either way — we go at your pace.
Not sure if this is for you? Let’s have a short introductory call first — 20 minutes, no obligation, just a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.

Occasionally I run workshops and group sessions — on values, self-compassion, and other themes close to the heart of this work. They’re a good way to dip a toe in, or to go deeper alongside others who get it.
Dates and topics are announced as they come together. The best way to hear about them first is to join the newsletter.
Why to work with me?
You have probably tried a few things, read a few self-help books, listened to podcasts — and yet you still find yourself back in the same place or even more confused at times.
That’s not a failure — it just means you haven’t yet found the right kind of support for where you are right now.
Coaching is not therapy.
It doesn’t look backwards to understand what went wrong. It starts from where you are today, focuses on what you are capable of and asks what matters to you? Simple and practical.
Why coaching?
ACT — Acceptance and Commitment Therapy — is one of the most evidence-based approaches available for exactly the situations I work with. Chronic illness, burnout, identity loss, life in transition.
It doesn’t promise to make the hard things disappear. You still have to do the work. But it gives you the tools to keep moving forward despite the challenges.
Why ACT?
And why me? Because I’ve been where you are. Not in the same circumstances — but in that same quiet, exhausting place of trying to figure out who you are when life has shifted under your feet. I brought myself back through exactly the tools I now use with clients.
And don’t be fooled — I don’t have it all figured out. Nobody does. But I found something that works well for so many people that I want to share it with you.
That’s not a sales pitch. It’s just the truth.
Why me?
Not sure where to start?
That’s completely normal.
If you’re unsure whether individual coaching, a workshop or just the free resource is the right first step — start with the fit call. We’ll figure it out together.

Returning clients receive a discount on workshops and future products — just mention it when you sign up.
And if you know someone who might benefit from this work, I’d love for you to pass my name on. If they attend a session, you’ll receive a complimentary 1-hour session as a thank you.
Just drop me a message to let me know.
How it works & pricing
-
Individual coaching cost €125 per session incl. VAT.
Sessions are 1 hour, available online or in person in Loenen aan de Vecht. Other locations by arrangement.
Most clients find that starting with around 6 sessions gives enough space to see real movement — though there’s no fixed commitment. We go at your pace.
Before we start:
Every coaching journey begins with a free 20-minute introductory call — no obligation, no preparation needed. Just a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.
-
Payment is requested before each session via a payment link. You’ll receive this at confirmation of your booking.
If you choose the 6-session block, a single payment link for the full discounted amount will be sent before your first session.
-
Life happens — and I mean that. If you need to cancel or reschedule:
24 hours or more before your session — free cancellation or reschedule, no questions asked
Less than 24 hours — you’re welcome to reschedule up to twice at no cost; if you cancel without rescheduling, a €45 late cancellation fee applies
