Burnout & Life Coaching in Amsterdam
You know something needs to change. We can start there.
Maybe you’re questioning the direction your life is taking. Or you’re still keeping things going, but it’s taking much more out of you than it used to.
You don’t need to have it all figured out or arrive with a plan. We can take time to understand what’s happening and work out what you need.
I’m Leo. I coach professionals and expats in English and Portuguese, online and in Amsterdam.
45 minutes on Zoom. €25, credited towards your first regular session if you continue. No obligation to book further sessions.
Life Coaching
Decisions about work, relationships or moving countries can bring up questions about who you are, what you value and what you’re afraid of losing.
We explore the thoughts, feelings and expectations influencing your choices, and bring that understanding into the decisions and steps you want to take.
Burnout Coaching
You might be noticing early changes in how you’re coping, or have already stepped back, or be working out what comes next as you recover.
We start with what you have capacity for now. That might mean easing pressure and finding support, as well as understanding what needs to change for life and work to feel more sustainable.
How we work together
We agree on what you want to focus on. I listen carefully, ask questions and reflect back what I’m noticing, helping you explore your situation from different angles.
That might mean understanding a recurring pattern, questioning an expectation or working through a decision. Together, we explore what that understanding means for you and the changes you want to make.
We take account of your circumstances and capacity. We also talk openly about what’s helping and what you’d like us to do differently.
Hi, I’m Leo.
I built a career I was good at, and still had to ask whether I wanted to keep going in the same direction.
During that career, I experienced burnout, took time off and recovered. I returned to work and went on to become a director before choosing to leave and become a coach.
I’ve also moved countries more than once and built a life away from where I grew up. I know how closely work, identity and relationships can become tied together. What looks like a straightforward decision from the outside can mean questioning much of the life you’ve built.
My professional training includes the Animas Accredited Diploma in Transformative Coaching. I’m currently undertaking Balanceology’s Certified Burnout Coach programme.

Start with an intro coaching session
We start with 45 minutes on Zoom exploring something that matters to you. That might be a decision you’re facing, a situation you want to understand better, or something that’s been on your mind.
Through questions and reflection, we look at what’s happening from different angles. The aim is to help you understand your situation more clearly and identify what could be useful next, whether that’s a different perspective or a practical step.
You also get a feel for how I work before deciding whether you’d like to continue.
The session costs €25, paid when you book. If you continue, the full €25 is deducted from your first regular session. There’s no obligation to book further sessions.
If you’d like to ask something before booking, message me on WhatsApp.
Coaching isn’t medical or psychological treatment. I’ll refer you to other support when needed.
Frequently asked questions.
Yes. This is actually one of the most common reasons people come to me.
Not knowing what you want isn’t a problem to fix before you start coaching. It’s usually what we work on together. Most people who say they have no idea actually have more clarity than they think. It’s just buried under a lot of noise, other people’s expectations, and years of not really asking the question.
By the end of the first session most people have at least a clearer sense of what’s actually going on. It doesn’t all fall into place at once, but it starts to.
Both are valuable. They just do different things.
Therapy focuses on healing. It’s designed for people dealing with mental health conditions, trauma, or emotional wounds that need clinical support. Therapists are licensed professionals trained to diagnose and treat.
Coaching focuses on moving forward. It’s for people who are generally stable but feel stuck, unclear, or ready for something different. We’re not looking at what happened to you. We’re looking at where you are now and what you actually want from here.
Some people work with both at the same time. A therapist to heal, a coach to help them figure out what comes next. That combination can work really well.
Not sure whether coaching is the right fit? Message me on WhatsApp and we can talk about what kind of support you’re looking for.
The intro coaching session costs €25 and lasts 45 minutes on Zoom. Payment is collected when you book. If you continue, the full €25 is deducted from your first regular session.
Regular sessions are 60 minutes and cost €105 each. Prices for individuals include applicable VAT.
Single regular sessions are invoiced afterwards, with payment due within 14 days by bank transfer. Packages are also available, with the number of sessions and price agreed individually.
If the price is a genuine obstacle right now, get in touch before you write it off. I’m committed to making coaching accessible and I’m open to a conversation about what’s possible.
It depends on what you’re working through, but here’s what I’ve seen in practice.
After 4 to 6 sessions, most people start noticing real shifts. How they think about things, how they react, what they’re willing to question. It’s not transformation yet, but something has moved.
Between 6 and 10 sessions is usually where things consolidate. New ways of thinking start to feel natural rather than effortful. People are making different choices and actually following through.
We’ll discuss how many sessions might be useful and review this as we go. Packages are available, with the number of sessions and price agreed individually.
