FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Creating positive and meaningful change in some significant area(s) of your life is a process. We all know that lasting change doesn't happen overnight... It takes time and effort to create awareness and gain confidence, to move past mental and/or emotional 'roadblocks', to create new habits and to integrate the desired changes into your life. That's why I offer my services in packages. This means that we commit to work in a partnership for a set number of sessions within a certain timeframe. My intention is for you to maximize your benefits from professional coaching and training! Packages have a set price. Discounts might apply.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a free consultation session to new costumers. This exploratory, informational conversation is meant to see if my services would be a good fit for you. We’ll connect on Skype, WebEx or Zoom, or over the phone. This call is without any obligations and it's complimentary. You can tell me about the changes you’re hoping to create, learn more about my approach, and get inspired about what’s possible. I'll give you information about the packages I offer, what to expect (timeframe, pricing), how it works logistically etc. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you might have.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m inquisitive by nature, and human behavior, motivation and performance fascinates me. This combination naturally led to pursuit a degree in Psychology. Moving to Texas in 2013 meant leaving behind a well-established professional career as a psychologist in The Netherlands (Europe). It also meant an opportunity to develop on a personal and professional level and to redirect the focus of my work. I completed the International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited training program offered by Erickson Coaching International. This means I’m a professional certified coach, using the Solution-Focused Coaching model. A strengths-based approach was added to my professional skill set and I like to integrate theories and evidence-based practices from the field of (Traditional) Psychology and Positive Psychology in my work. Positive Psychology doesn’t focus on mental illness or malfunctioning, it is the scientific study of optimal performance and wellbeing and it gives insights and strategies to help individuals, organizations and communities thrive and excel. The career transition was a journey of transformation, with numerous challenges and setbacks. Ultimately it has brought growth and enrichment, also on a personal level.
