Questions people ask before they book.

It is a 15-minute call, no obligation. You tell me what you are looking for, I tell you how I work, and we both get a sense of whether it feels like a match.

Structured enough to have a direction, loose enough to follow what actually comes up. In the intake we agree on a working goal. It shapes the sessions, and it can change if something else turns out to matter more.

After the third session we go back to the goal we started with. If it still fits, we carry on. If it no longer reflects what you want to work on, we adjust it. Between sessions I also use short feedback forms, so the review rests on more than memory and impressions. I would rather change course early than keep going with something that has stopped being useful.

Usually something from the session is worth noticing or trying out in daily life. Sometimes it goes as planned, sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, what happened gives us something real to work with next time.

No. My role is to help you look more closely at what is going on and what is influencing your choices. I will ask questions, help structure your thoughts and when asked, suggest an angle to try. The decision stays with you, because a step you chose yourself is a step you actually take.

Coaching starts from where you are now and what you want to do differently from here. It assumes you are in a stable enough place to take small steps between sessions and bring back what happened. If you are in crisis or dealing with symptoms that need clinical support, therapy is the right place to start.

Most people work with me for five to eight sessions. We review the direction after the third session rather than deciding the whole trajectory up front.

Yes. I coach in both, in Amsterdam or online. Some people switch between the two mid-session, which is fine.
