WELCOME – I’M GLAD YOU ARE HERE!
Maybe you’re standing at a turning point in your life or you are stuck in a persistent cycle of thoughts. Maybe you keep reacting the same way in certain situations, even though you already know it doesn’t help. Maybe you sometimes feel helplessly at the mercy of your emotions—or as if you’re not really in touch with them at all. Maybe you need to make an important decision or are searching for more clarity.
Or maybe you simply want to get to know yourself a little better.
If so, you’ve come to the right place.
My name is Maike, and I would be happy to accompany you on this part of your journey. In my practice, I combine classical coaching techniques with a transpersonal approach that supports personal development on a deeper level and goes beyond purely practical solutions.
On my website, you can find out what (transpersonal) coaching actually is, how it differs from other disciplines, which techniques I use, and what you can achieve through a coaching process.
I offer individual coaching processes, either in person here in Alicante or online—whichever suits you best.
You can book coaching with me in German, Spanish, Dutch, and English.
If you would like to schedule a free initial consultation, or if you have any questions or suggestions, please click HERE to go to the contact form.
I look forward to meeting you!
TRANSPERSONAL COACHING
In transpersonal coaching, we consider people as a whole, with all their thoughts, feelings, values, and skills, and place their actions within a broader social and cultural context.
Transpersonal literally means beyond the person.
Clients, or coachees as they are called in this context, learn to examine deeply rooted behavior patterns, emotions, beliefs, and blockages from a higher perspective in order to recognize and heal their emotional scars. This observer position helps them to make the unconscious conscious.

YOUR COACHING PROCESS
In my practice, I work not only with methods and techniques, but above all with a lot of empathy and intuition.
The coaching process is tailored precisely to your individual needs and goals and can be adjusted at any time if necessary. A typical coaching process consists of six to eight sessions, each lasting 60 to 90 minutes.
We start with a free initial consultation, during which I am happy to answer all your questions.
In the first session, you define the goal you would like to achieve through the process. In each of the following sessions, we establish a sub-goal that can be addressed within that session. Together, we then look at possible obstacles and limitations that may have prevented you from reaching this goal so far. Next, we focus on your strengths and resources and develop alternative options. From this, we create a concrete action plan, which we secure with a clear commitment to implementation.
What you can achieve with it:
- Targeted approach to challenges, overcoming (social) fears, dismantling limiting beliefs, and developing new perspectives.
- More self-confidence, structure, and clarity for your personal development path.
- Recognition of individual strengths, talents, and skills and their use for personal and professional growth.
- More conscious handling of conflicts and comprehensive understanding of social roles and expectations.
- Strengthening emotional intelligence to experience more trust and closeness, and to approach yourself and others with greater respect and appreciation.
- Awareness of personal values and life visions, as well as acknowledgment of your own uniqueness and authenticity.
- More effective communication and improvement of social skills.
- Clear definition and implementation of personal and professional goals.
