Resilience Coaching for Helping Professionals

The House of Resilience understands the unique and often invisible challenges faced by professionals dedicated to serving others. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, mental health professional, educator, first responder, coach, or legal professional, your work is essential. Every day, you care for and protect others — sometimes at the cost of your own well-being.

The emotional toll of constant caregiving, supporting people through significant life events, and witnessing the suffering of others can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, or even trauma. But in the midst of all the care you give, who supports you?

"Self-care is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation."

~ Audre Lorde

Why would a professional need coaching?

Helping professionals are often faced with overwhelming mental and emotional demands. Sometimes it can be too much, after all, you’re only human, right? This service focuses on you, helping you build resilience, maintain your balance, and grow both personally and professionally.

“Taking care of myself doesn’t mean I’m not here for you.
It means I’m here for me too.”

"The greatest weapon against stress,
is our ability to choose one thought over another."

~ William James

How would it feel to receive some support yourself?

Good to know:

For whom? Coaching can be an excellent addition to, but never a substitute for psychological/medical help. In case of more serious problems, we will discuss together how you can request a referral through your GP, so that you will receive the care you need and deserve.

By whom? Nowadays, there is no shortage of coaches. To find out if there’s a good match, I recommend that you read the section 'Meet Karina' to get an impression of my personal and professional background.  I also invite you to take a look at my content on personal resilience on Instagram to get an impression of my work. If this resonates with you, you can schedule an online introductory meeting via the website. This is a free 30-minute conversation in which we will discuss whether we will work together.

Where? Coaching is available online from your own couch, or face to face in Rotterdam.
