Practice for Integrative Coaching, Counselling & Therapy

Short-term, solution-focused and tailor-made

As a coach, therapist and trainer, I help people who are stuck in their lives to find a way out to more confidence, peace, balance and fun. By gaining insight into your entrenched patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour, you can make better choices, get a better grip on your life and initiate the change you want.

Themes with which clients often come to me are: personal development, stress and burnout, work-related issues, relationship problems, anxiety, insecurity, low self-esteem, major changes, trauma processing, phobias, grief processing and meaning.

Clients quickly feel familiar with my warm and involved attitude. Thanks to a structured approach and my analytical skills, it quickly becomes clear how and why clients get stuck and how they can resolve this in a sustainable way.

My ambition is to help as many people as possible to gain insight, know what to do to feel good again and, above all, to trust themselves. It gives me a sense of satisfaction when clients see immediate results; when they learn to use their qualities and learn to change their patterns. They experience more peace, balance and zest for life.

What is Integrative Coaching, Counselling & Therapy?

You are unique. Your body, your thinking, your emotions, your being, your relationships and the way you connect. Sometimes that is out of balance.

With an integrative approach, we assume that you already have everything in you to achieve your goal. Even if it doesn't feel that way right now. I help you discover and learn to use your qualities and skills. I work client-based and together we will draw up a short-term tailor-made programme. After the first conversation you immediately have a better grip on your problem.

An integrative approach - also called holistic or integral - is based on:

·       the qualities, possibilities and inner wisdom of a client

·       an equal relationship based on trust and respect

·       a results and goal oriented approach

·       a short-term and clear therapeutic treatment process

·       an individual-based treatment plan

·       a holistic approach in which body and mind are connected

How does it work?

All processes are insightful, solution-oriented, short-term and tailored to you. Together we set up a goal-oriented plan that is necessary for you to find your way to how you want to feel and how you want to do things differently.

During the first session (intake interview) you will already gain insight and take the first step on your way. We discuss what exactly your problem is and what you want to work on. Together we set your goals and make a plan of action. Since every person is unique and therefore every complaint and every problem, a treatment plan is made to measure. This is how you get started by tackling it within yourself. That requires a willingness from you to take it on and change within yourself.

In 6 steps we draw up a goal-oriented plan that you need to find your way to how you want to feel and how you want to do things differently.

1. Help! How do I proceed?

2. This is how I want to feel!

3. So here it is

4. How am I going to handle it?

5. Get started!

6. I can move on

We agree approximately how many sessions are needed to reach your goal. This is on average 5-7 coaching sessions and 7-15 counselling sessions. It is also possible that success is achieved within 3 sessions and the process can be stopped earlier. After the first session you can decide whether you want to continue with the process.

Together we regularly evaluate how things are going, what you still need, what works well or less well for you, in order to optimize the guidance so that you can progess faster and more effectively.
