My approach to coaching

I believe that the answers you seek are already within you. My role as a coach is to help you uncover them, challenge unhelpful patterns, and support you in creating a path forward. My coaching is practical, results-driven, and tailored to your needs—ensuring that each session is both meaningful and actionable.

My approach combines:

• Deep listening and thoughtful questioning to help you explore different perspectives.

• Practical strategies that create real change in your personal and professional life.

• A balance of support and challenge to help you step outside your comfort zone while feeling empowered.

Why I became a certified coach

After spending several years in the corporate world as a business consultant, I started reflecting on what truly gave me fulfillment. Through the concept of ikigai (the Japanese philosophy of finding purpose) I realized that coaching was what I wanted to do with my life. The idea of helping others gain clarity and make meaningful changes resonated deeply with me.

To turn this realization into action, I pursued professional training and obtained a certificate at the Academie voor Coaching & Counselling in the Netherlands. This experience not only confirmed my decision but also allowed me to develop my skills in a structured way. The more I practiced and worked on real cases, the more I felt in flow; fully engaged, energized, and deeply satisfied with the process. It was a feeling I hadn’t experienced in the same way before.

What truly solidified my path was the incredible feedback I received from the people I worked with. Seeing the impact of our conversations and the progress they made reinforced my belief that coaching was the right path for me. Today, through The Self Circle, I am committed to helping others find their own clarity, confidence, and growth - just as I found mine.
