I am you — but I’ve learned to fully accept myself and stop giving a shit what others think.
Who it’s for
For those who understand this: no matter what has happened to you, you have a choice. You can stay in the victim role, keep telling yourself the story of what happened, and share that story with the world — or you can let go, forgive, and start treating yourself with respect by taking full responsibility for your life now.
I know it sounds harsh, but it’s the only way.
How I work (and with whom)
-
Calm, grounded, and direct
-
Solution-driven, with space to explore what’s really there
-
For people who value:
-
Clarity over drama
-
Stability over intensity
-
Honest conversations over quick fixes
-
Reality over the story we tell ourselves
-
About me
53, shaped by childhood adversity; now focused on clarity, stability, and transformation.
Competitive sports background; certified trainer (London, 1994).
I built million‑euro businesses across Cologne, London, and Paris. Then I lost my granny, the woman that raised me, and all my childhood trauma hit me at once. I lost my resilience. I spiraled into bankruptcy, addiction, and homelessness, doing things I never thought I could.
Seven brutal years later, I confronted my past, stopped being a victim I was so well trained to be, and became a Certified Mental Health Coach & Trauma Counsellor.
Author of The Loss of Self; founder of Yves.coach — guiding people with experience, empathy, and insight.
Dog lover — because life’s simplest joys are often the most important.
