About

Welcome to Hayati Coaching

"Hayati" (حياتي) means my life in Arabic. That is the heart of my work – helping you take ownership of your life and shape it with more purpose, clarity and kindness toward yourself.

I work with people who are in the middle of change. You might be returning to work after parental leave, coming back from burnout, or realising that the way you have been living and working just does not fit anymore.

My background is in Psychology and HR. I have a Master’s in Organisational Psychology and a Bachelor’s in Psychology, plus a CIPD Level 5 in HR Management. I am a Licensed Practitioner of NLP™ and hold a Diploma in Coaching and Counselling. In practice, that means I bring both psychological insight and very practical tools to our sessions.

Before starting Hayati Coaching, I spent more than a decade in HR at organisations like Marktplaats, Snowflake and JBL Harman. I now also work as a Coach and Counsellor for Lyra Health, supporting professionals in the Netherlands with stress, career questions and complex life events.

I support clients with

• Reintegration coaching for parents and professionals returning to work after time away
• Burnout recovery and emotional regulation so you can rebuild energy and self trust
• Career clarity for when you want more meaning, confidence or a new direction
• Support for people who feel in between worlds, culturally or professionally, and want to feel grounded again

I work in English and offer sessions online or in person in Amsterdam. My style is warm and structured, culturally aware and focused on what is actually helpful for you right now.

I am also a parent, so I understand how layered modern life can feel when you are holding work, family and your own wellbeing at the same time. You do not have to figure it out on your own.

If you are ready to feel more rooted in yourself and clearer about your next steps, you are welcome here.
