Coach Rotterdam for those who feel stuck in life or work

learn to (re)connect with what truly matters to you in your life and work

Lifecoach Rotterdam

I guide you to truly being yourself.

Becoming real, feeling what you want and working towards that.

Again and again, more and more…

Do you recognise this?

You don’t know what you want or how to find it.
Your mind is loud and you barely notice your feelings.
You’re always critical of yourself.
You’re very concerned with what others think and forget about yourself.
You feel stuck in your life or work.
You want calm, to be real, direction, and self-trust.

Starting to live and work with heart & courage is the way to move forward.
Because… without heart there’s no love and without courage there’s no life.

My name is Peggy ter Haak and I work as a life coach, systemic coach, and career coach in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. With over 26 years of coaching experience – and running my own practice since 2009 – I help people learn to feel and understand what is really going on in their lives and work.

Women and men who long for being real, connecting with their inner self and committing themself to making a true change in their life.
People that want to live and work with heart and courage.

Not by ‘fixing’ you, but by slowing down together, by feeling and listening to what lives inside of you. To discover side by side what is true for yóu.

Innerlijk weten

Your body as an instrument

We are all very sensitive beings, but we have unlearned how to truly listen to that sensitivity. While through feeling we can actually know very well what we want, what we don’t want and what we dream of.

This is how you become a whole person again: from your head, through your heart, to your stomach and gut. Things start to flow and you learn to listen to what is important to you.

In our sessions, we connect with your inner knowledge through your body. And the good news is: you cán and you will carry this knowing with you forever.

What I can do for you

My coaching provides space for who you really are.
With everything you feel, think, doubt and desire.

You can come to me if you:

  • Feel stuck in your life or work.
  • Have difficulty setting boundaries and often adapt yourself to others.
  • Are in your head a lot and feel little.
  • Long for more meaning and direction.
  • Want more connection with others, to be yourself, really show who you are.
  • Don’t know what you really want.
  • Have a lot of demands but little energy.
  • Long for more peace and self-confidence.

I work with attention, depth and gentleness. Without judgement, without rushing.
And I help you see what you don’t see. Which can also be confrontational…

About me as a coach

I believe that we all have an inner compass, but sometimes lose touch with it. Perhaps we never even learned to listen to it. Or we unlearned it; through pain, loss, or simply because we carried on for too long.

In my practice in Rotterdam, I help you learn to listen to your inner voice again, to your true knowledge. To what drives you, to what you need. To take steps based on self-care. I still do it myself every day!

My coaching is both profound and practical.
You will learn to listen to your inner voice and gain insight into the dynamics and patterns that influence your life and/or work. And you will learn to understand yourself better, your reactions and how to work with them or even change them.
We do this in such a way that you no longer need me, but can simply do it yourself :-).

Life coaching in Rotterdam

As a life coach, I can help you to reconnect with yourself; with your feelings, your needs and with what is right for you.

This doesn’t mean being hard on yourself.
It often means slowing down, tuning in to your feelings, and learning to understand yourself.

Together, we explore what is holding you back and how you can overcome this. We explore what’s happening inside of you and in your life. What you need to do and for what it’s time to be left behind.

This creates space and lasting change. Which you can then commit to what you truly want in your life: your direction, in movement and peace.

Career coaching in Rotterdam

Are you feeling unsure about your current career path, but are you not sure what you want instead?

In my career coaching sessions, we focus on you as an individual. What suits you? What drains your energy? What energises you? What do you want to live for? What are your dreams, and what does the first step towards them look like?

Asking yourself these questions will help you to make the right choices and take the right steps.
For you and by you.

Systemic coaching

Sometimes, you find yourself repeatedly facing the same issues. In relationships. At work. Or within yourself.

In such cases, it is helpful to explore the deeper layers, such as your family history, old patterns and unconscious loyalties.

Systemic work enables us to reveal what is often happening unconsciously. I use this approach in both life and career coaching.

Women’s group in Rotterdam

Your womanhood can be the key to a better life, relationships and work.

In this ongoing group, we meet once every two months to explore what it means to be a woman in life, relationships and work.

Between meetings, we put what we learn into practice. The language of communication in this group is Dutch.

My approach

I do not work with fixed step-by-step plans; each process is tailored to where you are and what you need to take steps and to move forward.

My coaching focuses on your mind, your heart and your body. This ensures change that is not temporary, but comes from within.

If you feel that it is time to realise changes in your life and/or work, I invite you to a free introductory meeting. Please get in touch via the app, by telephone or by email.

It starts with you

During our conversations, we will explore what is happening in your life and at work.

What are you struggling with? What is bothering you?

First, we look inward, and then we take a step outward.

How do you express yourself? What do you need to take ownership of? What can you develop further? What do you need to do?

Mind & body

You probably know the feeling of saying ‘yes’ but meaning ‘no’.

Often, we ignore those signals because our mind just keeps going.

In our sessions, you will learn to listen to your body more closely, reflect on its messages and learn how to apply them to your life and work.

The result is that you will live life more fully, rather than being a ‘walking head’.

No answers…

I don’t provide the answers; I help you finding your own.

By asking you questions and focusing your attention on what lies beneath your answers, looking beyond face value.

This will enable you to do this better and better yourself, until you no longer need me.

The goal is for you to live and work in your own way, true to yourself.

And… action!

Allowing yourself to learn – and therefore to make mistakes – is an important part of living a better life. That’s why, throughout our journey together, we’ll explore what you can practise and how you can experiment with new behaviour.

By taking small and sometimes larger steps, you will gradually become more and more authentic, true to yourself. The reflection questions and exercises that I will email you in between sessions will help you with this.

What I promise

In our conversations, I bring sensitivity, a sharp mind, humour, lightness, and a love of action and adventure to the table.
This invites you to further develop and utilise these qualities in both your private life and at work.
