Burnout prevention and recovery

Burnout can show up as exhaustion, feeling increasingly detached from your work, or having trouble concentrating and managing your emotions.If you're wondering where you stand, the free Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) can help you take a closer look. It's a scientifically validated questionnaire, not a medical diagnosis.If your symptoms are affecting your daily life, speaking with your GP is a good place to start.

Yes. But I don't consider getting back to work the finish line.Work can be a major contributor to burnout, and sometimes the workplace itself needs to change. But it's not always the whole story. For many people, work is the last drop in a bucket that's been filling for months or years.The responsibility you take on. The expectations you put on yourself. The difficulty saying no, disappointing others, or knowing when enough is enough. And sometimes experiences that go much further back than your current job.My approach combines coaching and counseling to explore both your circumstances and the patterns that may have contributed to burnout.Because recovering enough to function again is one thing. Understanding what brought you there, and learning to live differently, deserves just as much attention.

No. And preferably, you don't have to wait until you are.You might be dealing with persistent stress, struggling with boundaries, questioning your direction, or noticing familiar patterns you haven't quite managed to change.There's plenty we can work on before things reach a breaking point.

There's more overlap than you might expect.Coaching isn't limited to goals and action plans. We can work quite deeply with beliefs, emotions, and patterns that influence how you think, feel, and behave.Counseling may spend more time exploring where those patterns began, including past experiences, difficult relationships, grief, loss, or things that haven't been fully processed.In my work, the two often meet. We might explore why something keeps happening, how it affects you today, and what you want to do differently.You don't need to decide which one you need before we talk.

Yes. I'm based in the Netherlands and offer online sessions worldwide (in English or Romanian), so you don't need to live nearby to work with me.

Yes. Alongside individual coaching and counseling, I work with teams and organizations on leadership development, team effectiveness, and organizational change.You can find more information on my organizational development page.

It's a approx. 45-minute conversation, and we'll do more than just get to know each other.Think of it as a mini-session. We'll take something you're genuinely dealing with and explore it together, so you can experience how I work rather than just hear me describe it.And the decision to work together goes both ways. We both have to say 'yes'. You need to feel comfortable working with me, and I need to believe I'm the right person to help. Chemistry matters, and neither of us should have to talk the other into it.No obligation, no awkward sales pitch.
