Coaching.
Sometimes you know that something needs to change, but you can’t quite put your finger on it.
Coaching helps you to pause and reflect on what’s really going on. By slowing down, and reducing the noise, you’re able to reconnect with yourself and figure out what it is that you need. What do you long for, and what does it look like to live according to that?
The best part of coaching is that all the answers lie within yourself. You are the start- and end-point, and in the lead. As a coach, I’m here to listen deeply, ask the questions you won’t ask yourself, hold up a mirror, and guide you in discovering your answers. Coaching can cover any topic. Whether you’re looking for better balance in your life, at crossroads in your career, wishing to deepen your relationships or help make scary decisions, coaching can help you to get unstuck and take those next steps.
My coaching style is warm, honest, respectful, and combined with a little dose of humor. And it is always action-oriented, because I wholeheartedly believe that once you start taking action and start moving in the direction you need to, in small or big steps, things will start to flow again. I’ll guide you to uncover what you really want, align on when you will do it and how it can be done. I’ll be with you along the way and hold you accountable.
Rest assured, our conversations are fully confidential.
How does it work?
-
Introduction
30 minutes - free of charge
To be able to open up and discuss important topics, it’s important to break the ice and get to know each other. During this session, you’ll be able to ask any questions you may have about coaching and we can both discover if there’s a match.
-
Discovery session
90 minutes
If we have a match, we will begin our coaching relationship with a discovery session. This allows us to deep dive and set the foundations - helping us to understand who you are, where you are now, and what you wish to achieve.
-
Coaching journey
60 minute sessions
From there, we’ll continue the coaching sessions, aligning on the frequency and number of sessions depending on your need. Coaching can be done in English or Dutch, and in-person in Abu Dhabi or fully remote through a video call.
Keep the momentum going.
Accountability track
The work doesn't have to stop when our coaching does. Some clients finish their program and want to keep that thread of accountability - someone in their corner as they move forward, make brave decisions, and stay true to what they've worked so hard to uncover.
That's exactly what the Accountability Track is for: a monthly 45 minute check-in, just the two of us. Part reflection, part coaching, part honest conversation. We look at where you are, what's in the way, and what your next step is.
Coaching credentials.
Coaching has grown significantly in popularity in recent years. That has its positive sides - there is a lot of attention for personal development - but it also means that quality and experience are not always easy to assess, because it is not a regulated profession.
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is a global governing body committed to providing the highest professional standards, independent certification, and building a network of credentialed coaches to advance the coaching profession.
I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), a certification offered by the Co-Active Training Institute - one of the most globally recognized coaching certifications accredited by the ICF.
Certifications achieved:
2026 - Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) - Co-Active Training Institute
2025 - Career Coaching and Talent Development certification - Blankestijn & Partners
