About me
Hi there,
My name is Tessa and it's been almost a decade since I started my own coaching practice. My background lies in Clinical & Health Psychology (which I studied in the Netherlands) after which I moved to Berlin to eventually start working as an empowerment coach.
When people ask me what exactly it is that I do, I tell them: "Unwrapping you like the Gift you are".
You see, throughout our lives we get distracted by other people's opinions and beliefs. And by personal experiences that made us believe that "we should be more this and less that". By experiences that caused us to slowly built up walls around ourselves, to protect us from the pain.
And that’s alright and completely normal. But as conscious human beings we also have the opportunity to take a discerning look at these walls or layers and decide: do I want to keep carrying these around? Because it's these wall of protection that are also keeping away the good stuff.
And this is what I call “Unwrapping you like the Gift you are”.
Because once you embark on this journey of unwrapping ourselves, of shedding those layers of past experiences, beliefs and emotions, you will inevitably move towards that which is truly You.
And you are a Gift.
With talents, values, longings, visions, ideas and ways to contribute to this planet.
So are you ready to make a first step?

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
My approach combines all the knowledge and experiences that I got to have through my Master in Clinical & Health Psychology, traveling to and learning from spiritual teachers from different corners of the world and the many holistic and energetic courses I have gone through over the past years.
My approach therefor is completely depended on you.
There is no protocol, no set out procedure.
Because every person is different and every session is different.
The techniques that I work with range from coaching, visualizations, inner child work, embodiment work to meditation.
Most of the people that come to me struggle with things such as perfectionism, over-thinking, not trusting their intuition. They are ambitious (work and/or life related) and sensitive beings who are generous with their compassion towards others, but double down on the self-critisism. They long for more joy and ease in their lives, feeling that they are at a point in life where they don't want to continue the way they have been living so far, but just not really sure how or what to change.
In our sessions we will give space to those things (experiences, emotions, trauma, thoughts) that haven't received the appropriate compassionate attention yet, so that we can bring back clarity and joy back into your life.
Before we have our first session together, we'll have a free 30min call in which we can get to know each other and make sure that we are indeed a match.
And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can also take a look at my website to read about the experiences from other people with my work.
