I have over 20 years of experience as an advisor, coach and therapist for various clients (see below). I support people with development issues (life phase, career development and -rounding) and with work-related problems, such as burnout, (failure) anxiety, panic attacks, assertiveness/aggressivity and labour conflicts. I am also involved in the design and implementation of Management Development processes, team development and assessments for determining managerial potential. I also assist private clients. This is regularly done by referral from a general practitioner, company doctor or specialist.

"To reflect on my performance with the balance between work and private life as the main point of attention, I had coaching conversations with Peter Suijker. These conversations were a valuable addition to my personal development. His empathic, calm and open attitude ensured that the conversations were pleasant and very useful" (A.B.)
"Peter makes the connection between the 'hard' professional side and the 'soft' personal side" (prof. dr. T.N.).
"The female career programme gave me some new ideas and insights about my career plans that I wanted to develop further. Peter turned out to be the ideal career coach to help me with this. He is well informed about the state of affairs and within a few conversations he knows how to disassemble the main side issues. With concrete advice I could go on perfectly well" (Dr. L.R., UHD).
"Unfortunate communication with a trainer or a staff member can lead to a tense relationship. In this situation, guidance by a competent coach is of great importance. By his listening ear, good analytical skills and especially by positioning himself at equal distance from all parties, Peter Suijker ensured in my case that the necessary trust was built up. My problem was finally solved through conversations in a safe climate. I experienced Peter as a professional, goal-oriented and pleasant discussion partner. Of course I would recommend him directly as a coach" (O.M. AIOS)
"Peter gave me a pleasant and professional insight into my own thinking and acting. This way I was able to develop a strategy for my further career" (Prof. Dr. R.W.).
"Conversations with Peter bring you to the heart of the matter and the heart of yourself. This allows you to make well-considered choices" (prof. dr. I.M)
"Peter knows how to put you in your own power and make sure that you keep control and remain authentic, no matter how politically or emotionally complex something is. He listens without prejudice and asks the questions that teach you to look at yourself and can change" (H.S.)
"Peter Suijker teaches me not to think up practical solutions immediately but to look for deeper backgrounds, and also to approach problems from my own strength and conviction. By going to the core of the problem and the accompanying emotions, I can now perform my own role in a natural feeling way. I experience his guidance as very valuable" (M.M.)
"My trajectory with Peter started with the goal of looking for a way to perform more efficiently and better in work, but in the end it has become much more than this. A journey to myself with as a result much more knowledge about where I come from and where I want to go" (Dr. A.M.)
"With Peter I immediately felt at ease. Before I noticed it our conversation had gone from where I lived in how I was put together. In two sessions I understood what I could improve, how I could do that and I had taken steps in practice. Since then, as a psychologist, I have also referred my patients to Peter, and I always hear the same good experiences. I therefore warmly recommend Peter! (S.R.)
