Career coaching
For those who want to reflect on work, talents, professional choices and further development.
More about career coaching →Guidance tailored to your situation
Questions about work can arise at different moments. Perhaps you are looking for a new direction as an individual, want to take steps towards returning to work after a long period of incapacity, or are an employer looking for professional support for an employee.
You can come to me for three forms of guidance:
For those who want to reflect on work, talents, professional choices and further development.
More about career coaching →For those who, after a period of illness, want to move towards work again in a feasible and sustainable way.
More about Back to Work →Confidential support for employees around wellbeing, stress, career questions and work-related difficulties.
More about EAP →Are you unsure about your current work or about a next step? Are you considering a career switch, would you like to find more enjoyment in your work again, or are you preparing for an assessment centre?
During career coaching we reflect on who you are, what gives you energy, which talents you want to use and which direction suits you. Together we map out your career question and translate your insights into feasible choices and concrete steps.
I obtained the professional qualification of career counsellor through VDAB and have more than twenty years of experience in career guidance, talent development and sustainable careers. Over the years I have guided more than 2,000 people, from starters and employees to managers.
My experience began at Arabel, one of the first recognised centres for career guidance in Flanders. After that I worked for thirteen years as a senior career coach within the Career Center of KU Leuven. There I supported employees with career questions, professional development and wellbeing at work.
I was also one of the founders of the first certified training programme for Solution Focused Career Coach in Flanders. As co-developer and lecturer I taught this programme at Arabel vzw, both as an open course and within organisations.
From autumn 2026, career coaching will also be possible using VDAB career vouchers. Feel free to get in touch for more information.
Are you on long-term sick leave and would you like to take steps towards work again? Perhaps you are unsure whether working is feasible again, do not know what the possibilities are, or would first like to regain confidence in yourself and in what you are able to do.
I guide you at your own pace and with attention to your health, resilience and personal situation. As a psychologist, senior career coach and Return-to-Work counsellor, I combine expertise in wellbeing, career development and reintegration.
The programme consists of ten hours of guidance and is tailored to your needs. It consists of individual conversations and can, where this is useful, be supplemented with group sessions.
The guidance is intended for people on long-term sick leave who hold a valid Back-to-Work voucher from the RIZIV.
With a valid Back-to-Work voucher, the entire guidance trajectory is free of charge for you. The guidance is financed through the RIZIV Back-to-Work Fund.
Returning to work is about more than finding a job again. Recovery, health, identity and meaning all play a part.
We start from what is still possible and explore which talents, circumstances and activities give you energy again. From there we build, step by step, towards a return to work that is feasible and that suits you.
Guidance through the Back-to-Work voucher is expected from autumn 2026, once the recognition and affiliation procedure has been completed. You can already register without obligation or get in touch for more information.
As an affiliate counsellor for Workplace Options, I support employees who are referred through their employer. They can come to me for confidential support around, among other things:
The conversations are entirely confidential and independent.
Employers and organisations looking for an experienced psychologist and coach to support their employees can also contact me directly. Together we look at which support suits the employee and the context of the organisation.
Do you have a question, or would you like to look together at which kind of guidance suits your situation? Feel free to get in touch. I will reply to your message as soon as possible.
