Hi, I’m Patrick

How did it start?

In a previous life phase, I used to work as a Systems Engineer for several companies, fulfilling mainly supportive roles.

When my beloved chose to end her life on 9/5/2018, my world shifted fundamentally.

The mourning process has shown the healing strength of a positive, realistic attitude in life. It has helped me to process difficult experiences such as suicide, paedophilia, bullying, euthanasia and toxic relationships.

It has also revealed that I was living as an unconscious empath, where my self-regulating abilities suppressed my Highly Sensitive perceptions and intuitive gifts instead of feeling them in a proper manner. The traumatising experiences triggered a large variety of instinctive emotional reactions, which were sometimes difficult to grasp for myself and others and had far reaching consequences.

The path has also proven the inability of some therapists to weave my gifts, experiences and being into the present.

This motivated me in 2020 to take on coaching courses, to define empath coaching and start to support people on their journey to translate their heartache into inner strength.

How does Patrick stand out as coach?

His passion as coach is as the sea, unpredictable, yet always present.

Sometimes a gentle wave rolling down the beach, providing you with a moment’s peace that you need to feel secure.

Sometimes a tidal-wave crashing down on your defenses, breaking through your boundaries to reveal what lies beneath giving you the insight you need to grow.

Most of the time a safe haven where we inspect your structure and strengthen the support beams.

His consistent stance assures a calm sea with a gentle wind to help keep your boat on a steady course to reach your goal.
