Over

I take a relational and human approach to the work I do with students. This means engaging with questions and sharing my own personal experiences which includes my own lessons and mistakes! Since 2012 I have worked with a diverse range of clients to face and overcome a wide range of personal and professional challenges through 1-to-1 and group sessions. This has been possible through being mentored at an executive level for the last 14 years. I am Christian and my faith is increasingly important to me and the work I do to serve others.

To give you a flavour of what it's like to work with me, here are a few testimonies from those I've worked with over the years...

"I have been working with James for about a year now and in that year I have grown considerably. Many people in my life have noticed a change in myself and can see how much these sessions help me. It is safe to say I haven’t had the smoothest of rides so far in life and some things I have been able to discuss with James are things that I had never even dreamed of discussing." - Bethan Neaves

"I met James fresh out of university feeling very lost, anxious, and overwhelmed about how to face my next steps pursuing a career in research. Now, at the end of our journey, I can happily say I begin my new job in Clinical Research next week!" - Janice Asare

"There's other people like me that need the help of someone like James, to get the help, understanding, commitment and professionalism that he has shown me." - Louisa Mackenzie

1) Coaching to assist with job searching, optimizing available tools, defining needs, and implementing an action plan. Coaching is tailored to each individual. Skills assessment, testing, and reports are available for an additional fee.
2) Health and well-being coaching
3) Lifestyle Ambassador

I currently work as a life coach and am someone who believes that people can make a difference.

My values:
Respect
Responsibility
Honesty

My background:
Diploma in stress and burnout coach
Diploma life coach
Diploma in practical psychology
Bachelor of Family Sciences
Certificate of pedagogical competence

My mission:
I help the client to discover, clarify and align their objectives within their current context

I encourage the customer to self-discovery

I support the client to gain insight into his talents and resources for success

I ask questions so that the customer finds solutions and strategies to achieve his goals

I hold the customer responsible for his own evolution process

I specialize in supporting women who are carrying the burden of their family and society's pressure to integrate in a new and alien setting, while dealing with hardships in their family (difficult children, partner, job situations, etc). Working as a youth counselor gave me the opportunity to have great results with young men and women who feel lost and torn between two worlds.
Having dealt with many of these challenges myself and having raised 2 great successful children, I have continued to be a support for many with an ethnic background who often lack important support. My coaching style is uplifting, empowering and interactive. Improvements can very easily be felt and experienced (often within three sessions).
Topics that we can pick up together is: unemployment, job hunts, wellness, education, family support, budgeting, raising kids, cultural gaps, growing old, isolation, stress and goal setting.
I am trained in 'emotional intelligence', yoga and spiritual wisdom.
This is a well needed investment in yourself. Try it.

Future candidate master.

I'm also a chess teacher with a real passion for the game.

I started playing at the age of five and I'm proud to pass on this knowledge to my dear students.

I already have many years of experience in teaching chess. As a player, I've won several prizes over the years. My chess insight even helps me in my daily life. I'll teach you structure, how to plan attacks, see patterns and much more.

I'm all about making chess a fun and challenging experience.

Feel free to contact me if you're interested in a chess lesson.

- Coaching is a methodology related to achieving goals, achieving goals and making decisions. It is gaining more and more space around the world, curating courses and programs at universities such as Harvard, Wharton, Insead, and Columbia.
- Every coaching process starts with the identification of the Present State, that is, what the client's life and results are like at that moment. Next, the client defines his goals, which we call the Desired State.
- The process takes 10 to 12 sessions of 1h30
- For who is it? For anyone who wants to get to know themselves better, discover their potential and achieve significant results in all areas of their life.

My life coaching service is different from the traditional one. I provide life coaching service "in your Akashic records." Akashic records are like a cosmic library. All the information since your soul existed is stored in your records. Our records are guarded by our spirit guides. My job is to connect you with your guides to achieve the following goals:

To find:
-- Life purposes
-- Causes of challenges in life
-- Heal yourself and relationships with others
-- Build up inner strength

Usually you would feel refreshed, comforted and the road ahead opens up after a session. You might clear a contract with someone or invalidate vows ( poverty vows, for example) and feel much lighter.

Do you need a boost from someone who knows what he's talking about? Are you feeling low? You're not reaching the goals you wanted to reach? Have you tried everything and think there are too many options? Do you just need a push?

In this specialized personal coaching program, I offer you proven methods for increasing your self-esteem, getting rid of bad habits, and applying techniques and habits that I have personally used and which I have finetuned into my daily life, living a life of freedom, success, wealth, and abundance.

It's all in your head, and you have ALL the power within you. You just need some help, and I will gladly be that help. We will explore the healing, detoxifying power of breathwork, the reality-transforming use of the right habits, meditation and much more.

I am a Holder of a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work and have years of experience working in Mental Health.

With my medical knowledge skills I took many classes for communication, paraphrasing, active listing etc. The psychology, body knowledge and how the brain works (neurology) has all been thought to me during my medical training. I would like to put my skills out there that I have obtained together with my sports’ and nutrition qualification to help other people acheive their goals and their potential. People struggling with weight, to do lists, procrastination, bringing an idea out there or developing their business plan can contact me. I will be doing extra certifications in order to obtain more experience on top of what I have. This is why my prices are adapted for people that want to help me get further experienced in coaching.

Maybe you need an open ear to talk to about creativity, somebody to make sure you are following through on things, or help finding your curiosity.

Maybe you secretly made a New Year's resolution to follow through on a creative project, maybe it's something new or to return to something you'd left behind.

We all have our mediums, mine is music! Even if you are not a musician but do other kinds of projects, I hope I can help you structure and spark your creative project.

I have taught music lessons and given group workshops since 2016. I have also produced and funded performances, recordings, and research projects. Doing this with a Master's in Music but also side-studies in Psychology, Education, and years of experience as a freelancer, I am always learning about balancing organization and creativity.

Do you feel stuck in life? Are you not able to control and process your emotions, stress and anxiety and don't know where to start?

I can help you discover what's been keeping you from achieving the life that you want and plan strategies to achieve your goals.

In my coaching, I guide women and men who deal with anxiety, stress teach how to release negative emotions with the Sedona method that is developed to help individuals to process, see the emotions.

With all the methods I have, I will help you redesign the parts of your life that are holding you back from being able to create your ideal future.

I offer both online and face-to-face training. For online training we can use Discord, Skype or Zoom.

The training is adapted to the needs of the student. During the lessons, we work together to identify the student's weaknesses and work specifically on them.
I was first introduced to chess at the age of 5. At 17 I joined the Düsseldorf Chess Club and at 18 I headed a primary school chess club.
I have a Chess.com online Rapid Rating of around 1650, which puts me in the top 2% of rapid chess players on Chess.com.
I use a large part of my free time to improve my chess skills by working through books, solving problems, playing games, analyzing them extensively and exchanging ideas with other players.
The profile picture was taken by photographer Robert Vledderman when I took part in the Amsterdam Chess Open.

Voel je je vaak overweldigd door school, studie of het leven zelf? Heb je het gevoel dat je hard werkt, maar niet echt verder komt? Deze les is voor jou.

In “Leren Leren & Leren Leven” krijg je de tools en inzichten om weer grip te krijgen op je leerproces én je dagelijks leven. Je ontdekt hoe jij het best leert, hoe je jezelf motiveert, en hoe je slimmer omgaat met stress, tijd en afleiding.
We gaan samen aan de slag met:
✅ Praktische leerstrategieën die écht werken
✅ Tools om jezelf beter te organiseren en plannen
✅ Oefeningen om je zelfvertrouwen en veerkracht te versterken
✅ Reflectiemomenten die je helpen betere keuzes te maken

How I work
I listen sharply and without detours. I mirror what you say — and what you don’t.
We work with stories and metaphors in an Ericksonian way: using what’s already present.
As Milton H. Erickson said:

“Trust your unconscious; it knows more than you do.”

Our sessions take place outdoors — because movement brings clarity, and nature helps you reconnect with what truly matters.

For whom
For professionals who feel stuck or in doubt — you want clarity, focus, or simply to make a decision. I work with both individuals and teams.

You might want to:

Make a clear choice (in work, life, or your next step)

Cut through the noise and regain focus and energy

Have an honest conversation — short, real, and outdoors

This is not therapy. I work solution- and future-focused, and I refer out when needed.

How it works

Book your 90-minute session: easy online booking and payment.

Location: we pick the trail together.

Walk & coach (90 min): we walk, we talk, and we get to the core.

When you talk about your birth chart, you'll discover your unique talents and possibilities at a glance.
You'll receive explanations about the 12 houses of your chart, which encompass all spheres of life, such as your education, career, and social interactions. It's all contained in the oldest books on earth: the Vedas from India, allowing you to discuss every topic in your life.
The conversations take place online or in practice in Roosendaal.
This will help you see your own opportunities and challenges clearly and provide you with targeted advice on the next steps you can take in your life.
If you choose the 1.5-year plan, you can get a year-long overview. This will show you how you can best support yourself each month with crystals, mantras, and specific life choices.

This coaching service is designed for professionals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or affected by difficult workplace situations — including bullying, toxic dynamics, or unfair treatment.

I combine career coaching, workplace conflict insight, and labour-law awareness to help you understand what is happening, regain confidence, and make strategic decisions about your career.

This is not therapy and not legal representation, but practical, confidential coaching focused on clarity, resilience, and next steps.
