Midlife crisis: Orientation in times of upheaval
What can I do for you as an expert for overcoming midlife crisis?
Typical statements from clients – sound familiar?
My life doesn’t fit me anymore. I have changed - internally and externally; I am no longer young, but I don't feel old either - who am I and what do I still want to achieve in this life?; everything feels different but it all still looks the same on the surface – I don't really understand what's going on and this makes me feel insecure.
Did you know that midlife crisis is also known as the second puberty? Puberty is the threshold between childhood and growing up. A midlife crisis happens where transition to old age becomes difficult. I will be happy to help you make the transition easier and find a good place in your life for the new phase to come.

enjoy the peace this new phase can bring to your life; make changes to your life and let go of what is no longer needed; look forward to discovering what life still has in store for you.

I was always able to rely on myself, but now I notice that I sometimes feel weaker. This makes me feel insecure; I don’t know how much energy I will have for new projects anymore and am afraid that I will not be able to cope; When I compare myself to others I am permanently disappointed with my performance.
Today’s society attaches great importance to outside appearance. Social media such as Instagram, dictate what we should look like and how we should act. This results in a lot of pressure - especially when we feel we can no longer keep up. If we run into the added pressure of physical and health issues and restrictions we can end up in a midlife crisis. Learn to shift down a gear with me where necessary in order to enjoy the view and life more.

regain control of your life; learn how to deal with new limitations in a good way mentally; leave the pressure of constant competition behind you.

My father has passed away and this makes me realise that I am next in line which scares me; I'm afraid of being all alone in old age; there is so much I still want to do with my life, but somehow I lack the strength and don’t know how to get everything done.
At some point we realise that our lives will not last forever and ask ourselves what we have achieved so far. We may end up finding that we would have hoped for more but also that we seem to be running out of time. I will be happy to help you take a good look at your life and sort out your regrets and doubts at your own pace. As well as tackle the fears which may stand in the way of your future happiness.
Let’s discover good new ways to
come to terms with your fears; decide what you still want to achieve in your private and professional life; shape your future actively and in a positive way.

I feel I’m in the midst of a crisis and don’t know what to do about it, my partner seems distant and doesn't take my worries seriously, my children don’t seem to listen to me anymore; I am starting to realise that I may not achieve my career goals anymore; I regret not having had enough time for my family, but there is nothing I can do to change the past.
A midlife crisis brings fundamental changes to your life. A lot of what once seemed natural and clear - at work, in your family but also in leisure time doesn’t seem to work anymore. I am there to help you deal with your disappointment, frustration and fears - but also to discover the opportunities for your future pro-active change can bring. And maybe to help you fulfill a dream or two along the way.

leave your crisis behind you; reshape your life and your role for the future; find out what really matters to you and adjust your goals where necessary.
Typical statements from clients – sound familiar?
Ever since entering menopause, I have not been myself anymore - I keep freaking out or crying for no reason whatsoever; my children have become independent and don’t need me anymore but I am unable to find a new goal in life; I don’t feel attractive anymore and this is upsetting me and making me feel insecure and unloved.
Menopause makes a woman realise that she is irrevocably moving on to a new phase in her life. Often this phase also entails caring for older family members and at the same time dealing with children undergoing puberty. Or it may be having to come to grips with the fact that motherhood was not meant for them in this life. Not surprisingly this may lead to a midlife crisis. I will be happy to help you master it and to tackle and resolve challenges along the way.
Let’s discover good new ways to
give you the strength to cope with the daily challenges; protect yourself and your time where necessary; learn to deal with physical and psychological change positively.

About me
I spent the first half of my life actively exploring the world and discovering a lot of exciting new opportunities along the road. My private and professional goals were clear to me and where they became unclear I adjusted them without stopping to think too much. My diploma in business administration led to successful self-employment and my wish for children was rewarded with two wonderful daughters.
Entering the second half of my life had me stand in front of major and new challenges though – both privately and professionally. It took me a few years to realise that my new and fulfilling career path as a coach and all the wonderful training I had received along the way (coaching, mediation, crisis management, behavior therapy, grief and family counseling just to name a few) would not have happened without my crisis. Would I have therefore welcomed it in retrospect? Definitely not and that is probably why crises sometimes happen – so that we grow in spite of ourselves. I am very happy to support you in making the most of your crisis and your future.

Everything starts with a conversation. Find ways out of your crisis together with me. The preliminary conversation is free of charge and after that you can end your coaching whenever you like. Get in touch today:
