Coaching for Emotions

Overwhelming emotions can really disrupt your life. Fortunately, change is possible!

If you’ve landed on this page, you’re probably looking for a solution. That’s good news and an important first step.

Know that you’re not alone. Many people struggle with difficult emotions. Most of us have never learned how to best manage our emotions. They can really get in the way of your happiness and a meaningful life, but that doesn’t have to be the case.

Coaching for Difficult and Limiting Emotions

Difficult emotions or restrictive behavioural patterns do not go away by themselves. To start off with, it requires the will to change. Will you allow yourself to live a life with more peace and emotional balance?

The impact of emotions

Emotions are a natural and important part of being human. They give colour and meaning to what we experience. But sometimes they can also start to control our lives and form an obstacle to a happy and fulfilled existence.

Time for action

If that is the case, then it’s time to take action. An effective way to work on this is to engage a coach or therapist. A coach/therapist can work with you to inventory where you are now, where you would like to go in your life and what is needed or stands in the way of that. A coach/therapist then guides you in this process.

Working on transformation

With coaching around limiting emotions, we work together to recognize and change these patterns within you. It is not about suppressing emotions – quite the opposite. By acknowledging emotions, understanding where they come from and what they are trying to tell you, space is created for processing and transformation.

We investigate which triggers evoke certain emotional reactions and which underlying causes and beliefs underlie this. You then develop new strategies to deal with these emotions, so that they no longer limit your choices and possibilities.

An important aspect of coaching for difficult emotions is increasing self-compassion. Instead of judging or suppressing your emotions, you learn to acknowledge them and deal with them in a healthy way.

A combination of methods

I use NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) as a foundation for how I work. This is a solution-oriented method that is very practical and has proven to be effective. In addition, as a counselor I am also trained in person-centered therapy, which means that I see you as a person with potential, not as a complaint or a diagnosis. I also apply mindfulness and components of cognitive behavioural therapy during the coaching process.

What you can expect from emotion coaching

Emotion coaching offers you concrete tools to:

Recognize emotions before they overwhelm you
Better understand your emotional reactions
Break through limiting thought patterns
Develop new, healthier ways of responding
Build emotional resilience

The result?

You learn to influence your thoughts and feelings in a positive way and outgrow old limiting patterns. This results in better relationships and offers you more inner freedom, giving you the opportunity to make conscious choices, regardless of which emotions present themselves.

You learn to see emotions as valuable information, instead of as obstacles. This enables a more balanced emotional life, allowing you to go through life with more confidence and ease.

Take the First Step Towards Emotional Balance

Are you ready to start dealing with your emotions in a healthier way? Let’s get to know each other in a free and non-binding Insight Session.

A Safe Space

The fact that you are reading this now is a good sign. A part of you acknowledges that something needs to change in your life, that you no longer want to go on like this.

At the same time, it might feel scary. As humans, we tend to hold on to what we know, even if it is detrimental to our well-being. The fear of the unknown then takes over: “Better the devil you know”, as they say. This is very understandable.

Your sense of safety is therefore my priority. I do that from a place of ‘Sponsorship’. Sponsorship is about the following:

You are important.
You are seen and heard.
You are welcome.
You have something important to add to life.
You are valuable.

Basic attitude

The basic attitude from which I work is based on the following assumptions:

Every person is valuable, simply because you exist.
Every person has the right to a happy and valuable life.
There is nothing wrong with you.

My core values

I also work from a number of core values that are important to me. These are:

Safety
Calm
Sponsorship (I believe in you, even when you don’t)
Respect
Acceptance
Humour
Optimism

My experience shows that these are important conditions for helping you to be open and vulnerable, so that real change is possible.

Why people choose my guidance

Everyone is welcome – as long as I feel that I can really help you.
Full flexibility – it is your journey, at your pace, you are in the lead. I work on the basis of individual sessions, because everyone is different. Some people come for two sessions, others for ten. I do not believe in standard programs, because they rarely work for everyone. I let the process unfold naturally, and you always decide where the coaching takes you.
Free from cancellation fees – life happens! If it is not the right time, that is completely okay. You shouldn’t be punished for needing some space.
Support between sessions – you are not alone. You can always contact me between sessions if you have questions or worries.
Multifaceted coaching – my sessions combine conversation, education, and powerful techniques to create real change.
Guided by intuition, grounded in experience – I trust the process to unfold naturally as it should and let my intuition guide me, tailoring each session to what is needed at that moment.
A focus on learning – there is no “must” in my coaching. I support you and nudge you where needed, but ultimately it is your journey and I respect your pace.
All emotions are welcome – without judgement. Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed or lost, you are welcome as you are.
I believe in your inner wisdom – you already have the answers within you. My role is to help you discover them.
My promise – you’re not a machine that needs fixing, but a unique human being with your own experiences, emotions, and challenges. What I promise is deep and meaningful work, my full commitment, and all that I have to offer in terms of knowledge and experience.

Clients come to me for my knowledge and experience, but especially for the safe environment in which they can work on their healing and growth, in peace and with compassion.

For whom?

Many people struggle with their emotions and have difficulty understanding, accepting or expressing them. But a path to emotional freedom and inner peace does exist.

My guidance as an emotion coach is there for you if you:

Are overwhelmed by intense emotions that you find difficult to handle
Have difficulty recognizing or naming your emotions
Get stuck in recurring emotional patterns
Experience emotional blockages that hinder you in your daily life
Want to develop a deeper connection with yourself and others

Where you are now

I understand that it can be difficult when your emotions are so strong that they seem to control your life. That feeling of being overwhelmed, while deep inside you long for inner peace and the freedom to experience your emotions without being taken over by them. The confusion and feeling of powerlessness are completely understandable.

Is it time to take the next step and do something about this?

Sometimes one or two sessions is enough to get you on your way, but usually several are needed to experience a lasting result.

Edith Eeltink

Richard is a special, kind, and patient man who is highly skilled as a coach. I met him at a time when I was unhappy with certain aspects of myself and unable to find a way to change them. Richard helped me unlock the first part, and since then, I have been able to make so many changes.

Wendy Frost

I describe Richard as a calm person who gave me the space and opportunity to develop myself.

It was about working on myself, and sometimes it was hard work. Moments of awareness and insights followed one another, recognizing your own processes and pitfalls. When I got stuck in certain processes, time was taken to see what I needed to move forward.

I felt comfortable and could be myself because I had great guidance from Richard.

Thank you, Richard, for guiding me in rediscovering myself. Thank you also for all the tools you provided to help me move forward with more self-direction on the path of my life. I highly recommend everyone to be open to Richard Post’s personalized approach.
