Coaching for people navigating life changes or struggles, with a little help from Rosy where it fits.
Years helping people become their best selves
Worldwide, or in person in the Netherlands
I know what it actually takes to go through a big life change, not the tidy version, the real one. The three steps forward and one step back. The confusion before things make sense. The frustration when progress stalls. The exhilaration when something finally clicks. I have lived that course repeatedly and recently: three career changes, a move to a new country, learning to live in a new language, a major relationship change.
This coaching practice is the latest change, and it fits a pattern I have lived before in corporate contexts, where I helped people move through exactly this kind of disruption. Helping people thrive has been the thread running through all of that work, so opening this practice, with the help of dogs when it makes sense, is a natural extension of who I am. If any of this lands with you, I'm excited to help.
Before coaching, I spent 30 years in HR and organisational development, working closely with people navigating change inside organisations, all over the world.
What that means for you: I will be your advocate, your truth teller, and your supporter, whatever the moment calls for. Being honest with you does not mean judging you for where you are, I can tell you what I see clearly while still being fully on your side. I believe people already hold the answers to their own questions. My job is to help you find them, whether that means challenging you to reflect on what matters most to you now, building on strengths you already have, thinking something through out loud, or getting clear on what you actually think is true. I will help you turn ideas into concrete plans, and build the kind of self-accountability that actually works for you.
A structured programme to help you navigate genuinely stressful situations, relocation, work pressure, pre-burnout, or the challenge of settling into a new country, and come out the other side with a clear path forward and in good health.
You moved for someone else's career. That comes with its own particular losses — identity, professional network, sense of purpose. These sessions are specifically for partners working through the adjustment of relocation.
The same coaching, with Rosy involved where it adds real value. In person, in the Netherlands.
Purposeful sessions using Rosy as an engagement anchor to help children build confidence, ease social anxiety, and settle into a new school or language environment. Calm, structured, and child-led.
A gentle, evidence-based reading programme where children read aloud to Rosy. Non-judgmental and calming — particularly effective for children reading in a second language or anxious about reading aloud. Available for schools and home sessions.
