Let go of fear and shame. So you can be your authentic self.

Being part of a minority feels lonely for some gay men. You feel different or misunderstood or think you don't live up to the expectations of others. This can cause an intense feeling of shame or insecurity.

The relationship with others mirrors the relationship with yourself. Accepting yourself for who you are also creates more calmness and firmness in your relationship with others.
As a professional trainer and coach, I will help you with this. By making you aware of your qualities. By mapping and breaking through non-functional patterns together. And by teaching you through practical exercises to apply the insights in your daily life.

On Gay Men Coaching you will find articles, courses and coaching to let go of fear and shame and live an authentic life.

Frequently asked questions

Why coaching specifically for gay men?

Being part of a minority group can cause stress. Several studies show that gay men have a higher risk of mental health problems than straight men. The feeling of being different can make you feel lonely. Or you experience shame, tension and stress because you believe you cannot meet the expectations of others.

How does Gay Men Coaching help?

As a professional trainer and coach I teach people to deal with fear, shame and uncertainty so you can accept yourself and create deeper connections with others. To make this knowledge and insights accessible to many gay men, I offer a combination of online courses and coaching.

How long can I access an online course?

When you purchase an online course, you get 12 months access to your personal online learning environment. You take the course at your own pace and can practice until you have mastered the skills.

How is online coaching different from in-person coaching?

Coaching helps you achieve specific results in life. You and I don't need to be in the same room for that to work properly. That's why online coaching is not much different from face-to-face sessions – except that you can follow the session wherever and whenever you want. For example from your own sofa, where you might feel most comfortable.
