General questions about my practice
My services range from ad-hoc 1-hour sessions to fully-fledged 1:1 coaching journeys, depending on your needs.
If you have a more complex or longer-term goal in mind, it might make more sense for you to commit to a structured coaching plan. That’s why I offer dedicated journeys (of 4, 6 or 8 sessions each) that will help us tackle your goals in the most effective way.
As a coachee, you will also receive access to a portal through which I offer unlimited support over email and chat between our sessions.
Over the course of 12+ years, I have collected a lot of first-hand experience in shaping a career within fast-moving and results-oriented businesses such as Amazon and Facebook. As an HR professional, the topics I provide coaching on are my bread and butter, and coaching is an integral part of my role as a people leader.
Since I officially launched my coaching business in 2022, I have delivered over 250 hours of coaching with coachees across 3 continents. But even before then, I’ve been an avid coach and regularly participated in coaching or mentoring pairing programs, contributing to many more hours of coaching.
I am planning the become an ICF Certified Coach by the end of 2023. You can find out more about my other qualifications on LinkedIn.
Every coaching relationship starts with a complimentary discovery chat. In this 30-min call, we’ll discuss your current situation, goals and expectations. I’ll walk you through my coaching practice, what services I offer, and how we’ll work together.
If it’s a match and you’d like to work with me, we can agree on a path forward and design your coaching journey. If you’d like to book a package, we will meet at a bi-weekly cadence. Depending on your goals, you can expect pre-work such as reflection prompts or self-assessment — they are optional but highly recommended!
I also offer unlimited support over email or chat between our sessions: you will be granted access to a coachee portal which will allow us to stay in close contact, schedule/re-schedule any new sessions, and follow-up on progress.
Depending on your goals, you can expect me to ask you to complete pre-work such as reflection prompts or self-assessments — they are optional but highly recommended!
Easy — I am using a platform that will help us stay in touch throughout our coaching journey, and also facilitate scheduling. We can book any sessions in advance or ad-hoc. Should the scheduling tool not be showing any appropriate slots, please reach out to me directly so I can move things around.
If we haven’t chatted yet, feel free to book a free introductory conversation with me. During this complimentary 30-minute session, we’ll discuss your current situation, goals and expectations. I’ll walk you through my coaching practice, what services I offer, and how we’ll work together.
Coaching fees, billing & payment
I charge a fixed rate for single sessions, and offer session packages at a discounted rate.
Compared to other coaches, charge fair and affordable rates. Coaching is an enjoyable side-activity for me, and as a full-time salaried employee, I don’t have the need to inflate my hourly coaching fees.
To find out more, please feel free to get in touch or book a free introductory call with me here, or get in touch with me under info@thecuriousrecruiter.com so I can share a list of services and the corresponding pricing.
Discounted rates already apply to session packages: the more sessions you book in advance, the more the hourly rate drops. If you have a long-term coaching goal in mind, I suggest you explore my coaching packages.

Yes! As a freelance coach, I have a registered company headquartered in Germany, and I am able to issue (even international) invoices via Stripe, my payment solutions provider. That means you should likely be able to use your L&D allowance for covering the cost of our sessions.

I use Stripe as a reliable payment solutions provider, so you will be able to pay securely either by card or bank transfer.
- Introductory coversations are free of charge
- For individual 1-hour coaching sessions, payment is due upon booking via Stripe, or at the latest, 48 hours after the session.
- For coaching packages, I require 25% downpayment and the rest of the payment is due one month into the journey — so it is already staggered. You do however have the option to chose up to 3 installments against a small fee.
