my path
As long as I can remember I have been a searcher for truth, meaning and personal growth, wanting to live life according to my highest values. A lifelong journey that keeps getting richer, more beautiful and more fulfilling.
Along this path I have experienced that we can grow beyond our scars and learned habits. We can live freely, openly and lovingly. When we take the time to heal our wounds and learn to listen to ourselves at a deep level, unseen possibilities open up and we can feel connected to others and the world around us.
With integrity and an open heart, I would love to walk with you so you can experience growth and transformation in your life and ultimately find yourself.
My style is personal and open and offers the safety and space to discover everything that is important to you.
from where I travelled
I am qualified in Deep Transformational Coaching, Existential Counselling and Psychology (BSc), I completed the professional training and the mentorship training in Compassionate Inquiry, a trauma-informed psychotherapeutic approach. I worked as a coach and trainer in private practices, in forensic psychiatry, sheltered employment and schools.
I am interested in trauma, grief, end of life care, positive psychology, buddhism, meditation, yoga and anything that can bring an authentic and lived experience of spirituality. Many schools, traditions and movements have been enriching and expanding for myself and my coaching.
The broad horizon and nuanced view that developed from this, integrated with my own life experience, means that I can guide everyone in their own individuality and unique situation.
home
My home country is the Netherlands, when I moved to the United Kingdom in 2017, I started up DvHcoaching to continue my work as a life coach and therapist in London.
I have now found my home in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, where I offer Transformational Coaching sessions and Individual Coaching Retreats.
Over the years I have worked with people from all walks of life in a varied range of settings. To me it is clear that, beyond our differences, all people ultimately look to live a meaningful and happy life. I love to support people on this journey. To witness their process and see their transformation is truly amazing.

Debora is a gifted transformational coach. Working with her has been a very healing experience. Her presence is calm and grounded and she has a wonderful ability to listen truly and deeply. She did an amazing job of making me feel safe so I could easily explore whatever surfaced in my mind.
She facilitated some of my deepest moments of clarity. I would absolutely recommend Debora as a coach. You will get warm and loving support and understanding.

After 14 years of a highly pressured corporate career I found myself at a precipice; incredibly low, possibly depressed and emotionally numb.
Debora not only helped me to change my perspective on my life and ambitions but taught me how to navigate challenges without her.
Her coaching has been nothing short of transformational. I am more fulfilled with my life and hugely excited about my future, confident in the knowledge that I am better equipped to navigate life’s challenges.
As it turns out my career is now going from strength to strength and I'm closer to my friends and family than ever before. I have Debora to thank.

My coaching sessions with Debora were incredible helpful at a time that I was exploring myself and my personal process more deeply. She created a safe, warm and loving space that allowed me to be with both my lighter as well as my shadowy sides.
Debora held our coaching conversations with integrity, authenticity and full presence. I am grateful for the shifts in being that I experienced through our work together.

Debora guided me, from being a loose cannon to finding myself and keeping calm. The fact that she was able to help me means she can help anyone..

Thinking of Debora these words come to mind: pure, integrity, competent, makes people think, values everyone equally, trusted, beautiful and warm personality.
