Career Coaching in English for Expats
Living and working abroad can be exciting and deeply challenging at the same time. I know, I have been there.
I offer career coaching in English for expats who want clarity, confidence and direction in their work and life, while navigating the complexities of living in the Netherlands.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in your career, questioning your next step, or struggling to find a sense of belonging and purpose, coaching offers a space to pause, reflect and move forward with intention.

Common coaching topics
As an expat, you’re often navigating multiple transitions at once: a new country, a new culture, a new professional context, sometimes even a new version of yourself.
Many expats I work with experience:
feeling stuck or dissatisfied in their job
uncertainty about their career direction
loss of confidence or motivation
difficulty balancing ambition, wellbeing and personal life
questions around identity, purpose and belonging
Career coaching in English offers a supportive, structured space to explore these questions without language barriers, and with deep understanding of the international context you’re living in.
What We Work On in Expat Coaching
Coaching is always tailored to you, but common themes include:
Career clarity & direction – Understanding what you truly want from your career, beyond external expectations or survival mode.
Career transitions – Support with job changes, role shifts, or redefining success in a new country.
Confidence & decision-making – Building trust in yourself and your choices, especially when everything feels uncertain.
Purpose, meaning & fulfilment – (Re)connecting with what matters to you in work and in life.
Balance & wellbeing – Creating a sustainable way of living and working abroad, without constant pressure or burnout.

Purposeful Growth
As your coach, it is my mission to make you grow. There is no set definition of growth. It strongly depends on who you are, your values and beliefs and on the impact you want to make on this world. It depends on your Purpose.
I define “Purpose” as “Essence in Action”. It is about being and doing. Your being is the essence of you. It consists of the things you deeply believe in. All that you value most and what you want to take a stance for in life. Your doing, is all that can be observed about you. These are the roles you fulfil in a family or in a business. It’s the way you react to certain situations. The choices that you make – or not make.
Purposeful growth happens when being and doing team up. It is a continuous process of consciousness, awareness and movement. Growth is ongoing. Fulfilment is found in the flow of purposeful growth itself. It’s when this flow gets out of balance, when we feel stuck.
