For Individuals

Life counseling

For moments when life takes a new turn, the past still weighs on you, or you feel ready to pursue what matters to you.

My approach

Starting from who you are, and where you are in life

Deep one-to-one work on finding your purpose, alongside reaching your goals. We work with multiple facets of who you are, so the change can be transformational, reaching further than the question you came with.

You bring your own mix of talent potential and strengths, values and life circumstances. That is where we start, so the changes you make are meaningful and effective for you.

You’ll feel genuinely listened to and supported with empathy and expertise. You’ll leave with practical tools for everyday life, so you can let go of what holds you back and move forward.

In clients’ words

“The sessions with Esther have helped me immensely in finding myself, letting go of weighty baggage from the past, letting go of negative experiences and opening my heart so that resentment loses out against forgiveness and thus find inner peace. Esther’s positive and calming energy helped me tremendously in discussing topics that had been oppressed for years and were increasingly heavy on the stomach. She gives you the right tools, but above all the right attitude, to tackle emotional issues at the source and thus let the past rest step by step. Despite the fact that I have made great leaps, my self-image has improved enormously and, above all, love myself, I still work on myself every day. Partly thanks to Esther’s coaching and advice, I wake up positively every day and face the day with my head held high. Highly recommended as far as I am concerned, because my course on the path of life is now overloaded with love and sunshine. Thank you, Light Up Your Talent, and of course Esther! Literally life changing!”

“I found the coaching sessions with Esther very pleasant. I had no idea what to expect from Esther as a coach. … We started the coaching sessions based on the results of the Strengthscope. Esther and I clicked straight away, and I think that is a precondition for coaching sessions to succeed and to build a bond of trust. … In one of these sessions we looked back on my life: what were my successes and success factors, and what were my low points? What did I learn from them, and which qualities did I use to achieve my successes? Esther guided me well through that process and took me back through my life. I’m not afraid to look back and I’m proud of what I have achieved. … Thank you for your coaching, your feedback, your energy, your positivity, your tips … you have made me a happier person.”

Life counseling is personal development. It does not replace medical or psychological care. If you’re working with a registered professional, it can sit alongside that. Read the disclaimer →
