"Share your worries,
and we'll tackle them together"
Meet Theo
It’s virtually impossible to summarize ones life in a few paragraphs, so let's try to avoid that. Here are few terms that define me in the present and let's take it from there:
I am a hiker and I am living a sober lifestyle, I have a calm personality and a curious mind, and I love new challenges.
In general you could say that I am on a journey towards a healthy lifestyle. This was kickstarted several years ago whilst dealing with health issues. When the body does not want to cooperate it is time to focus on what you can do, despite the problems we sometimes get to face. This attitude of trying to find feasible things to do right now, whilst still struggling with what life throws at you, is at the core of my approach to coaching.
It is my conviction that the mental and the physical sides of life are very much linked. A healthy mind likes to live in a healthy body. Even when at times life seems a little bit overwhelming, I am convinced that we can find ways to improve things straight away.
If you are experiencing any form of anxiety and are dealing with inner pain, we will immediately endeavour to find ways and offer tools that help right now. For you. In your specific situation. That small breath of fresh air can give the encouragement to then start working to get to the core of what is causing that pain.
Together, we will have a thorough look at your life and try to figure out ways to improve it. Stop worrying all by yourself and let's tackle these recurring problems together. It's time to stop the pain and start living a full life.
Answering your questions
I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Ayou.nl, a Dutch platform for mental resilience and growth, where we delved into my work as a life coach.
What do you hope to achieve for others as a mental health professional?
I hope to help others navigate through the complexity of their emotions and fears. My goal is to give them the tools to deal with their current mental state and then work together to understand the causes of their challenges. It's not just about addressing problems, but also about learning to appreciate the journey and finding joy in the 'ordinary' daily life.
What does mental resilience mean to you?
To me, mental resilience means the ability to face the challenges and difficulties of life without being overwhelmed. It is the ability to pick yourself up after a setback and keep going. In addition, it's also about the ability to seek achievable goals here and now, even when things are tough.
What topics do you often see in your sessions?
I often see themes such as procrastination, fear of failure, lack of self-confidence, work-life balance, and upcoming career switches. Another recurring topic is the difficulty of sharing concerns and problems, which is something we can work on together.
What advice would you give to other people?
My advice would be not to hesitate to seek help if you need it. We often try to solve our problems alone, but there is power in sharing your worries. Look for small things you can do right now to improve your life, even if you're struggling with bigger problems.
What is a quote/life motto that suits you?
My motto is 'Share your worries, and we'll tackle them together'. It is actually a modern version of the old saying 'A problem shared is a problem halved' which I fully believe in. It reflects my belief in the power of collective problem-solving and shows the dedication to my clients.

We are superhumans!🦸Of course we don't wear our insecurities on our sleeves and don't leak vulnerability with each handshake, it's not what we do. We keep them ignored and pushed back, until we can't anymore, while the whole time being fully aware that something is just not right.In February I woke up to a period of anger, that shortly started to show in my work emails, phone calls and time with friends, that little underlying evil affecting everything I looked at. 👹I felt as if I sabotaged everything that supposed to make me feel better, for to me unknown reason. I felt stuck and mega angry.As superhumans, of course we don't ask for help. But I did. I reach out to Theo of whom I thought might be able to tame my demons. And so he did.So here I would like to share a thought with you, my friends. You don't need to publicly admit that you struggle at one or the other part of your life, we know you do, because we all do and it's perfectly ok. But instead of wasting years of your precious time running in the circles, lost without answers, reach out to people like Theo or even better, reach out to Theo and move forward again.🤍As he says (in maaaany languages btw.)"Share your worries, and we'll tackle them together"

Facing challenges together
Theo's coaching philosophy
My coaching philosophy is that I truly believe that facing problems together can be rewarding, no matter the outcome.
Even when surrounded by people we tend to try and solve our problems alone.We don't even realize that it is an option to share these worries, for they are ours and ours alone.
Let me help you as a coach with issues such as procrastination, fear of failure, lack of confidence, work-life balance and upcoming career changes.
