COACHING FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN
You keep moving. But you're not sure where you're going anymore.
You’re capable. Ambitious. You crossed borders, became a mother, started over — sometimes all at once. This is where it changes.
Sound familiar?
New country. New culture. New language. But that's not all.
Far from home, you’re going through a bigger transition. A new job, or contemplating the idea of one. A baby on the way, or a newly discovered motherhood. Making friends who speak English, but many of them are already leaving. Trying to learn Dutch to widen your social circle. Navigating a new culture, while trying to figure out who you are now.
Maybe it’s one or several of these. Maybe there are more of them. What they all have in common: you’re in transition, and you’re ready for more clarity. This is where it starts.

Who I work with

How it works
Four steps. Your pace. Your journey. Your life.
Every coaching journey with me follows the same four-step framework, designed to take you from where you are now to where you want to be, at a pace that works for you.

Frequent questions
What is coaching?
Coaching is a structured, forward-focused conversation. It’s not advice-giving, and it’s not me telling you what to do. It’s a process that helps you get clear on what you want, understand what’s getting in the way, and build a realistic plan to move forward.
As your coach, I ask the questions that help you think differently. I challenge the assumptions you’ve stopped noticing. And I hold you accountable to what you said mattered to you.
It’s practical. It’s personal. And it works best when you’re ready to be honest with yourself.
Is this therapy?
No. Coaching and therapy are different things. Therapy typically explores the past to understand why you feel the way you do. Coaching starts from where you are now and focuses on where you want to go. If you’re dealing with clinical mental health concerns, a therapist is the right support. If you’re ready to move forward and want structure, clarity, and someone in your corner, that’s coaching.
Why coaching and not therapy?
If your life is broadly functioning but something feels stuck, unclear, or off, coaching is often exactly the right fit. You don’t need to be in crisis to ask for support. You just need to be ready to do the work. Coaching is for women who are capable and motivated, but who want to move forward with more intention and less noise in their heads.
Do I need to know what I want before I start?
Not at all. Most of my clients come to me precisely because they don’t know what they want, or they have a vague sense of it but can’t quite name it. Figuring that out together is part of the process. You just need to be ready to start.
How is this different from just talking to a friend?
A good friend listens. A coach listens differently, and then asks the questions your friends won’t, challenges the assumptions you haven’t noticed, and keeps you accountable to what you said you wanted. There’s no history between us, no social dynamic to manage. Just honest, focused attention on you and what’s next.
Do you work online or in person?
Sessions take place in person in Utrecht. If distance or scheduling makes that tricky, we can also meet via video call. The work is just as effective either way. Mention your preference when you book your intro call and we’ll find what works.
What language do sessions run in?
Sessions are in English. I also speak French and Dutch, so if you’re more comfortable mixing languages during our conversation, that’s absolutely fine.
How do I know which programme is right for me?
That’s exactly what the free intro call is for. We’ll talk about where you are, what you’re navigating, and what kind of support would actually help. There’s no pressure to decide anything on the call, it’s just a conversation. If it feels like a fit, we’ll find the right starting point together.
What if I'm not sure I'm ready?
That feeling is more common than you think and it’s usually a sign that something needs to shift, not that you should wait. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you reach out. Book a free intro call and we’ll work out together whether now is the right time.
