About Annemarieke
I am Annemarieke Moes. As a coach, counselor, and therapist, my main goal is to help you bring out the best in yourself, to unlock and harness your own potential, so you can maximize both your happiness and your performance.
Sometimes this requires digging a little deeper - breaking through and addressing inner blocks - so you can clear the path to becoming who you truly are inside and achieve what you most want in life.
I am a positive, calm, and driven conversational partner who is deeply committed to the development of others. I guide you through your own process of change and personal growth, so you can step into your power, gain clarity on your goals, and (re)discover and harness your abilities and talents – enabling you to live the life you truly want.
Education
For as long as I can remember I have had an innate curiosity about human motivations and behavior. Since 2004, I have been actively engaged in the field of personal development. Over the years, this has given me deep self-knowledge and insight into human nature over the years.
I have a background in the following studies:
Communication Science (minor in Social Psychology)
Psychology (specializations in Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, Clinical Psychology)
Professional Coach Practitioner (Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy)
Giftedness Professional (Centre for Giftedness)
Stress & Burnout Coach | Depression, Grief & Loss (Laudius)
Psychosocial and Medical Fundamentals (Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy)
Integrative Counseling (Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy)
Classical Hypnotherapy (Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy)
Medical Hypnotherapy (Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy)
In addition to mainstream psychology, I have spent many years exploring existential questions, spirituality, and the meaning of life, which over time has provided me with valuable insights and a deep connection to myself.
"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy."
- Rumi
NFG, NAP and continued education
As a counselor and psychosocial therapist, I am affiliated with the NFG (Dutch Federation of Health Care) and the NAP (Dutch Association for Psychotherapy). This ensures the quality of my professional training and services, and allows clients to receive reimbursement through supplementary health insurance.
To stay focused and continue developing myself, I participate in a regular peer supervision group and continually pursue further education through courses and training.
Work
During my career as a dancer, dance teacher, and choreographer, I have enjoyed developing, sharing, and passing on my passion. This period also gave me insight into the inseparable connection between body, mind, and emotions. And I still dance with great joy.
Following this, I worked in both the commercial and non-profit sectors, seizing every opportunity to continue my professional growth through courses, training, and workshops. However, I realized I was still searching for deeper meaning: work that truly touches my heart.
As an integrative Coach, Counselor, and Therapist, I have found my calling. I truly enjoy guiding people who feel stuck, whether personally or professionally, helping them identify what is holding them back and overcome internal obstacles. I love seeing them (re)discover their dreams, clarify what they want to achieve, and take concrete steps toward their goals.
I truly enjoy seeing clients make significant strides and achieve far more than they ever thought possible.
Stress and burnout
Over the years, I have gained both personal and professional experience with stress and burnout. In 2004, I went through a severe work-related burnout, initially misdiagnosed as depression. I also experienced unexplained physical symptoms and was told I would require lifelong medication – yet within a year, I no longer needed it. My ongoing search for causes and solutions marked the beginning of an inward journey: Who am I?
Within nine months, I completely transformed my life: I started a new study and I began work that truly inspired me. Life started flowing again.
Now, 21 years later, I understand that at the time I had encountered a combination of internal and external factors that can lead to stress-induced exhaustion and burnout. I love guiding people toward well-being, exploring their challenges, and helping them resolve these issues and get back into balance. I believe everyone deserves this.
Giftedness
As someone with firsthand experience, I understand the challenges that giftedness can bring, both professionally and personally. Many (though not all) gifted individuals are also highly sensitive, which can present additional challenges in life.
At the same time, I am aware of the unique and special qualities that giftedness and high sensitivity also bring. I am grateful for the extraordinary perspective on the world, the intensity of experiences, and the ability to truly see and understand people.
Drawing on my own development and questions, I have also pursued professional expertise in the fields of giftedness and high sensitivity.
Personal life
I live in Amsterdam Zuid with my husband and our two daughters. I greatly enjoy motherhood and watching our daughters grow and develop. I also love dancing, photography, spending time with friends, and, of course, personal development.
Build your
happiness
