Career coaching helps you gain clarity about your professional direction, goals and challenges — especially when living and working abroad. At Orange Expats, coaching is tailored to your international experience, combining practical tools with psychological insight.

This coaching is for expats in the Netherlands who are:

• Unsure about their current job or future path

• Looking for work after relocating or redundancy

• Feeling unfulfilled, underchallenged or disconnected professionally

• Struggling with workplace adjustment or cultural fit

• Considering a career shift or new direction

Whether you’ve just arrived or have been here for years, you’re welcome.

Not at all. Many clients start coaching before things become overwhelming — often to reflect, refocus or prepare for change. Others feel stuck or frustrated. Wherever you are, we begin from there.

We start with a free introductory session to discuss your situation. If we’re a good fit, we design a coaching journey that may include:

• Mapping your values, strengths and needs

• Setting goals and exploring your options

• Reviewing your CV or LinkedIn profile (if relevant)

• Confidence and mindset coaching

• Navigating Dutch work culture

Each process is individualised — no fixed packages.

Yes — all sessions are in English and designed for international professionals. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and industries, including tech, academia, business and the non-profit sector.

It varies. Some clients need just 4 sessions to get unstuck; others work with me for a longer period. Most coaching journeys are between 4 and 10 sessions, depending on your goals and pace.

Yes — many employers cover the cost of coaching for international staff. I can invoice the company directly or help you make the request internally. The content of sessions remains strictly confidential.

This is coaching with psychological depth. I’m trained in both coaching and counselling, so we can work on both mindset and direction. If therapy would be more suitable at any point, I will refer you appropriately.

You can begin with a free, no-obligation intake session to see if this is right for you.
