Everyone is looking for a sense of belonging
This is true for all children, and for those growing up internationally (“Third Culture Kids”) this may feel more difficult to achieve. As an adult 'third culture kid' with an international upbringing, I know and relate to the insecurities that arise as a result of moving to a new country and having to adapt yourself in order to fit in. Adapting so much in these crucial years of development can make it difficult for children and teens to stay in touch with their own emotions, find their values and form their own personal identity. In the long run, this can be detrimental to their self-confidence and mental well-being.
I can help your child gain more confidence and a stronger sense of self.
Through a series of 5-10 sessions, I provide a safe space to work with your child on identifying & understanding their emotions. We work through daily struggles as well as significant life events to create more peace in their minds and at home. Every session their self awareness will grow and they will leave more confident than when they came in. I also help parents understand the needs of their children better and give them tools to communicate and connect.
My coaching is available in-person in The Hague Netherlands and through Zoom.

Meet Elise
Originally from the Netherlands, my first experience abroad began at the age of 7. 9 moves, 8 countries and 2 continents later, I found that the experience shaped me in both positive and less positive ways. This has driven me to dedicate myself to supporting internationals through coaching, by empowering them to feel confident and thrive during their journey abroad.
