Coaching in Utrecht
Life Coach Utrecht.
I'm Michael de Jong, a life coach based in Utrecht, working in English with internationals and expats who feel their life has slipped onto autopilot, and who want to feel again what's truly theirs.
Why people come
Some people arrive with a concrete question: a choice about work, a relationship that's straining, a longing that's been waiting for years. Others come with a vague but persistent feeling: that things are good enough, yet somehow not right.
Either way, the work starts in the same place — slowing down and looking honestly. Not to find a quick fix, but to discover what's living underneath the discomfort, and what movement belongs with it.
As a life coach I work with life questions, choices, direction and authenticity. Creativity runs through my way of working as a common thread: the ability to shape your own life, rather than simply undergo it. For expats and internationals settling in Utrecht, that often also means finding your footing in a new country and culture.
How I work
With me, coaching is an attentive conversation — with yourself, and with another. I combine mindfulness, psychodynamic, systemic and solution-focused coaching, depending on what your question needs.
We meet in Utrecht, in a quiet setting with room to think and feel. Single sessions are possible, as is a tailored coaching journey or the twelve-week Artist's Way journey around creativity. Sessions are held in English.
