How an Engagement Works | Heleen Westerhuijs

When Effort Stops Working.
And why it's rarely about ambition

Create Space For Transformation

High-functioning professionals often know they’re capable of more — yet still find themselves blocked. Not by a lack of effort, but by internal systems that haven’t been updated for the level they now operate at.

These challenges show up in subtle but powerful ways:

Subconscious Self-Sabotage: Intelligent, well-meaning behaviors — overpreparing, overcontrolling, delaying — that quietly undermine progress beneath awareness

Cognitive Overload: A constant stream of demands and internal pressure that fogs clarity, confidence, and decisiveness

One-Size-Fits-All Models: Generic advice or leadership frameworks that ignore your specific wiring, history, and context

Leadership Isolation: Few safe, high-trust spaces to think out loud, explore tension, or make meaning at the level you operate

These are not surface-level issues. They are ingrained patterns — often adaptive in earlier roles — that now need to be restructured through expert-level coaching and psychological insight.

A More Precise Way to

Shift How You Think,
Relate, and Perform

Engage in a high-level coaching process that targets your internal system influencing dynamics that limit clarity, drive, and connection.
This work surfaces blind spots, sharpens goals, and addresses internal roadblocks—so decisions, relationships, and performance aren’t limited by what’s unconscious.

Coaching is an investment—but it shouldn’t be out of reach. Rates vary depending on the scope and structure of the engagement, and a sliding scale is available upon request.

Every engagement begins with an introductory call. This is not a discovery session; it’s a mutual interview. It gives you space to evaluate the process and confidence in working with me, and it gives me the opportunity to assess whether the engagement aligns with the depth and focus this work requires. If it’s not the right fit, I’ll be transparent as it is in your best interest to work with someone best suited to support your goals.

What Clients Are Saying…

JJ El-Far - Nonprofit arts and Culture Leader

"My experience working with Heleen has been extremely positive. As a creative leader in the non-profit arts sector, it was essential that whomever I chose to work with as an executive coach understood the nature of creative practice, artistic flow, and the relationship between the personal and professional identities I navigate. Heleen not only intuitively understands this paradigm, she is able to give me specific and nuanced advice that helps me tune into my inner voice, find calm and strength when decision making, and feel confident in professional interactions. I would recommend her to anyone looking to articulate their vision and presence as a professional, but especially to women and creatives seeking balance between their work and life. I always leave our sessions feeling uplifted and motivated to take on whatever comes next."
