For HR and employers

Coaching as an investment, not a last resort.

For employees stuck on something that no longer shifts through more knowledge or effort. Three clear propositions, transparent rates, confidentiality that is not up for negotiation.

Contents

Transparency upfront. This page describes what I do — and what I explicitly do not do. The latter matters just as much. I am not a reintegration provider under the Wet Verbetering Poortwachter, not affiliated with an occupational health service, and not a care provider under Wkkgz. I do offer personal coaching that can support employees at various stages — including when they are in a formal recovery process. Read below to see how that works.

What does IEMT coaching offer employers?

Three propositions for HR and employers: individual manager coaching, burnout prevention, and return-to-work coaching — always at the level of patterns and identity, alongside (not instead of) the formal reintegration track.

Individual manager coaching

For managers and senior professionals who feel something is stuck that no longer shifts through more experience or a better technique. For example: your meetings keep running the same way, your reaction to a particular colleague is not what you would like it to be, you recognise a pattern in how you switch under pressure that no longer fits who you are.

The work sits at the level of patterns and identity, not skills training. Usually six to nine sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, with one to two weeks between sessions. A preliminary conversation beforehand determines whether it is a good fit.

Burnout prevention

For employees experiencing signals that have not yet led to absence — but where there is a real chance they will if nothing changes. Think of persistent fatigue that doesn't lift, changes in sleep, a sense of emptiness at moments that previously gave energy, or a shorter fuse than fits who you are.

A trajectory of nine sessions, plus an intake and three follow-up moments after completion. The three follow-ups — at one, three, and six months — are critical: prevention requires follow-through, otherwise "I'm fine again" easily rebuilds to the old state.

Return-to-work coaching

For employees in a period of absence or returning to work. This is explicitly not a formal reintegration track. That process always runs through the company doctor and occupational health service — that is where the legal and medical frameworks sit, where track-1 and track-2 arrangements live, and where they belong.

What I offer is something different: personal coaching at the level of identity and patterns, during the same period. Not as a replacement for the formal process, but as a complement. For people who want to look at what was underneath the absence — which patterns will keep working on return, and which ones need something different.

A tailored trajectory, usually nine to twelve sessions, depending on where the person is in the recovery process. The employee chooses this for themselves, alongside the formal track.

Confidentiality — how it actually works

Session content stays between me and the person involved. No exceptions, no interim reports, no accounts to HR or a line manager describing what happened in a session.

What HR or the employer does receive is agreed in advance and clearly bounded:

  • Start and end date of the trajectory.
  • Number of sessions that took place (for invoicing and progress confirmation).
  • Status at two points ("trajectory is running as agreed" or "trajectory is complete") — without substantive explanation.
  • At the employee's own request: specific points they wish to share. Only with explicit, pre-signed consent.

This is not a legal formality — it is how coaching at this level works at all. Without this safe space, the work touches nothing.

For HR professionals who weigh the evidence base: Maastricht University published the first academic study into IEMT in March 2026 — comparable effect to clinical protocols, with fewer reported side effects. Summary →

Coaching at your location

Standard sessions take place at my practice or online. On-site at your location is possible with the following surcharge:

  • Per session at your location: + € 50 + travel costs € 0.23/km + travel time at 50% of the hourly rate.

  • Full day (8 hours) on-site: € 1,800 + travel. For intensive corporate settings.

Funding — three possible routes

Direct invoice to employer

Standard route for business trajectories. The invoice line reads, for example: "Coaching trajectory — Signature 6 sessions, personal development for [initials]". Almost always eligible for tax-free reimbursement under the Werkkostenregeling (WKR) — in 2026 up to 1.92% of the fiscal wage sum up to €400k.

How it works — intake and trajectory

  1. Introductory conversation (free, 30 min) — with HR or the direct line manager, by phone or video. Scope, goal, expectations, and reporting arrangements.
  2. Proposal — with trajectory, rate, cancellation terms, confidentiality clause, and privacy safeguards.
  3. Contract signing — three parties (employer, employee, me). The employee signs a separate consent form for the limited items that are shared with HR.
  4. Three-way conversation (optional) — employer, employee, and coach together: aligning the framework without covering session-specific content.
  5. Start of trajectory — preliminary conversation with the employee, then the agreed number of sessions with 1–2 weeks between them.
  6. Closing — final conversation with the employee. Brief status message to the employer without substantive explanation.

Leaflets to share

WHY YOU ARE READING THIS

A different layer.

You have read. Talked. Tried. The pattern keeps coming back — not because you are missing something, but because knowledge works at a different layer from where the pattern sits.

IEMT works at that layer.

Next step

An introductory conversation is the best way to explore whether a suitable trajectory can be shaped. I think along on scope, funding, and reporting arrangements — without any obligation following from it.
