The effectiveness of coaching depends largely on the quality of the relationship between coach and client, so trust and chemistry are key.

You can get an initial sense by reading through the website and understanding my approach, but the best way to assess fit is through an intro call. This gives you the opportunity to experience how we work together and whether it feels like a good match.

I always recommend speaking to more than one coach before deciding. Alongside chemistry, it’s important that my approach, level of depth, and professional background feel aligned with what you’re looking for. In theory we don’t need to have a similar professional background to have an impactful coaching relationship, but a close understanding of your professional context can be helpful to give you a sense of safety and trust in the coaching relationship and can also serve as a shortcut in the process.

The right coaching package depends on the depth and scope of what you want to work on, as well as the level of investment that you’re comfortable making.

After the intro call, I will send you a proposal outlining an initial coaching trajectory and a recommendation for the number of sessions that would best support your goals. You can then decide based on this guidance and your own preferences.

After the intro call, I will recommend a number of sessions based on the scope of your topic and the level of depth that may be required.

This is an initial estimate rather than a fixed requirement. As the coaching progresses, you may decide that further exploration would be valuable, in which case additional single sessions or a further coaching package can be bought.

My main coaching hours are Monday to Thursday, between 8:00 and 11:30.

If you require a different time due to your work schedule or time zone, we can discuss what is possible. Based on current availability, coaching can typically startwithin 2–4 weeks, and intro calls are usually available within 1–2 weeks.

Coaching is most effective when approached as a commitment to the process. For this reason, packages are non-refundable, though in some cases unused sessions can be converted to credits with an agreed expiry date. Sessions can be rescheduled up to 48 hours in advance. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the session start time will be charged.

The working agreement outlines the key terms of our collaboration, including:

Confidentiality agreement 

Client and coach responsibilities 

Scope of coaching 

Payment, cancellation and refund policy 

Limitation of liability 

This ensures clarity, transparency and a strong foundation for the coaching relationship.

Yes, payment plans are possible. We can discuss the options during the intro call based on the package you choose.

Payment for coaching packages is made up front, prior to the first coaching session.

Coaching rates vary widely depending on experience, training, professional background, the coaching niche offered, and the depth and scope of the work.

My rates reflect a combination of the level of my professional coaching training, my professional experience, the niche of my coaching services, the scope of coaching work and the transformational depth of change that I offer clients. 

My rates also reflect my commitment to maintaining a high standard of coaching. I work under regular professional supervision, which provides a space for reflection and feedback to continuously improve the quality of my work. Alongside this, I invest in ongoing training and development, ensuring I bring current thinking, new perspectives and relevant tools into my coaching.

Coaching rates for coaches with a corporate background, and who work with mid-career and senior professionals, corporate leaders and business owners typically range from around €150 to €400+ per hour (in NL). 

Rather than comparing rates directly, I recommend considering the quality of the relationship, the level of depth offered, and the potential impact of the work when paired with the right coach.

For the right person at the right moment, coaching can be one of the most valuable investments you make in yourself or your business.

The impact of coaching isn't limited to solving a single challenge. Clients often find that the clarity, self-awareness and ways of thinking they develop during the process continue to shape how they make decisions, lead and work long after the coaching ends. The return on that kind of development is difficult to quantify, but it's real and lasting.

That said, coaching works best when you're genuinely ready to engage with the process. If you're willing to reflect honestly, commit to the work between sessions, and take action on what emerges, the investment tends to pay for itself many times over, in better decisions, clearer direction, and a stronger sense of ownership over your career, business or leadership.

If you're unsure whether now is the right time, the intro call is a good place to explore that. There's no obligation, and you'll leave with a clearer sense of whether this is the right next step for you.

Yes, charging coaching to your business can significantly reduce the effective cost versus paying privately. 

This is because:

1) You can reclaim the 21% VAT 

2) The remaining cost is typically tax-deductible as a business expense 

Depending on your tax situation, this can reduce the effective cost by a substantial margin (often up to 50%). For specific advice, it’s best to check with your accountant.

Yes, in many cases coaching can be funded by your employer as part of your professional development.

If you are considering this, I can support you in framing the coaching in a way that aligns with organisational goals, such as leadership development, performance, or career progression.

At certain times of the year, I offer group coaching programmes, which are typically around 50% lower than the 1:1 coaching rates. 

These are shared on the website, as well as via Instagram, LinkedIn and the mailing list.

The intro call is a low-commitment way to explore whether this work is right for you. We explore your situation, clarify what you’re looking for, and align on how we would work together. You will leave with a good sense of our potential coaching relationship, some immediate insights on your situation and what may need to be addressed, and a strong foundation for a focused and effective coaching process. Most importantly, you will also leave with an idea of whether our chemistry is strong enough to set us up for an impactful coaching relationship. There’s no obligation to continue working together after the call.

Sessions can be scheduled via the website or by email at stephanie@thirdfieldcoaching.nl

Once you’ve selected and communicated your preferred coaching package, I will send a working agreement for you to review and sign. After you have returned the signed working agreement, I will send you an invoice with payment instructions. Payment can be made via the website or by bank transfer, as outlined in the invoice.

I primarily offer coaching online. If you require in-person coaching in Amsterdam or Haarlem areas reach out and we can discuss the possible options.

Coaching is a collaborative process, so open and honest feedback is essential.

I take responsibility for regularly checking in on how the process is working for you. It is your responsibility as client to give honest and timely feedback so that we can adjust our way of working to ensure our collaboration is impactful and effectively delivering to your set out measure of success. 

That said, it’s possible that something important will come up that falls outside my area of expertise. In this case it is my responsibility to refer you to another professional and you will not be charged for unused sessions of your coaching package.
