Hello, I am Sarah Dekker,
your compassionate guide on the journey within.
I am honored to support you on your path of self-empowerment, helping you navigate your inner world with trust and compassion.
In our (online) coaching sessions, we will work through challenges in your life, work, and relationships. Together, we will deepen your self-understanding, transform limiting beliefs, and create a more fulfilling and connected life.
My Therapeutic Coaching approach is based on several methodologies:
-
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
-
Developmental Trauma knowledge
-
Mediation training
-
Dyad Intensives
-
Gender healing work
-
Mindfulness
-
Plant medicine training
What to expect...
During our transformative coaching sessions, which last 90 minutes, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Our sessions take place conveniently online via Zoom, allowing for a comfortable and accessible experience from the comfort of your own space. Once you've registered, you'll have the opportunity to schedule our first session together.
One of the powerful modalities we'll explore during our sessions is Internal Family Systems (IFS). In these sessions, we delve into the intricate tapestry of your inner world, getting to know different parts of yourself. By meeting these parts from a place of Self energy, we create a nurturing environment for healing and unburdening limiting beliefs. This approach allows you to be heard and understood in a non-judgmental space, where true transformation can unfold.
Together, we'll create a safe and supportive space where you can freely express yourself, explore your challenges, and uncover hidden strengths. Through compassionate guidance, we'll work collaboratively to identify and address the underlying issues that are holding you back. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and empowering experience.
Embrace the opportunity to be fully seen and supported on your journey toward healing and personal growth. Together, we'll navigate the depths of your inner landscape, empowering you to release old patterns and embrace a more fulfilling and authentic life. Let our coaching sessions be the catalyst for positive change and the gateway to a brighter future.

"I am so grateful for Sarah's compassionate presence in our coaching sessions. In being met so fully by another soul I have been gifted the opportunity to heal parts that could only emerge in the safety that Sarah provides. Her intuitive guidance in working with me in such a skilled and empathic way has been a soothing balm and a healing antidote to parts long hidden in pain. I am so grateful for the work that you do, Sarah."
Nicole Mansour, Integral+ Coach
"Receiving sessions from Sarah has been such a sweet and meaningful journey. While exploring my inner world in its many aspects, she was besides me as an endlessly patient, supportive and compassionate friend, or sister, helping me navigate my way through the debris of broken-off parts of my being, integrating them back into a whole. I warmly suggest Sarah as a companion and supporter through the challenges we may be facing in our lives."

Will I need to revisit my past and relive painful past experiences?The methodology that I use is a combination of Internal Family Systems, Nonviolent Communication and Mindfulness. Some past memories may spontaneously pop up during a session. When this happens, I will support you to navigate these memories in a way to ensures that you will not have to relive these experiences and be re-traumatised by them. If this happens, then I will support you to witness these experiences in a way that brings them to completion so that you can free yourself and move forward.
-
How much time will I need to dedicate to this?In order to get the most benefit out of the program, it is recommended that you spend roughly 20 minutes per day doing some reading and reflection. On the weeks where we have a therapeutic coaching session booked there will be an extra 90 minutes time commitment.

Is there a refund policy in case I'm unsatisfied with my purchase?Single Sessions: Once a session is scheduled, refunds are available if the session is canceled with at least 24 hours notice. If canceled within the notice period, the client may request a refund or reschedule at no additional charge. Coaching Bundles: Refunds on purchased bundles are typically not available once the bundle has commenced. However, clients may request a partial refund for unused sessions within the bundle, provided they are canceled within the specified notice period and subject to an administrative fee of €50. Discounted vs. Single Session Rates: Coaching bundles offer a discounted rate per session compared to single sessions. If a client decides to discontinue partway through a bundle, they will be charged the full single-session rate for all completed sessions rather than the discounted bundle rate. Exceptional Circumstances: Refund requests due to extenuating circumstances (such as medical emergencies) will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

"I experience Sarah as an experienced and lived guide with whom I feel deeply understood. She offers closeness to me exactly where it is needed. She stays with me without judgment and impartially - wherever I am at - and that is exactly what is so essential and beneficial for me."
"Ik beleef Sarah als een ervaren en doorleefde gids bij wie ik me diep begrepen voel. Ze is me nabij precies op de plek waar het nodig is. Ze blijft bij me oordeelloos en onpartijdig - waar ik ook ben- en precies dat doet me zo wezenlijk deugd."
Hilde van Gool, NVC Trainer & Coach
I wanted to share my gratitude with you and write you a note. I am struggling to put into words the level of support and help that you provided me over the six-ish months we worked intensively together.
It was truly life-changing and I will be forever grateful that I found you at that particular time in my life. I was completely overwhelmed with depression, anxiety, and fear about the future, and I needed really deep work to liberate the parts of me that were stuck in old, old pain.
From the first time we worked together, it was like a calming salve on a burning wound. The gentle presence, compassion, and care that you brought was a light to help me navigate the dark inner recesses of my psyche that I was not able to get to by myself or really with therapists or other support. I feel so cleared out and am experiencing a level of peace and clarity and inner harmony now that I am just so grateful for.
And I know that, while life will likely bring up challenges in the future, so many of the issues I had struggled with for decades have been laid to rest and released in love. Your presence is truly a gift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
