There are increasing numbers of expats settling in the Netherlands, and Amsterdam in particular is a common destination for many. There are additionally many Dutch people who move to Amsterdam later in life, perhaps for an employment opportunity, a relationship, or to pursue a course of study. But however you have ended up here, or wherever you have come from, moving to a new city like Amsterdam brings many challenges as you adapt to a new way of life. It is common knowledge that moving is one of the most stressful things we do in our lives. Add to this the unique complications and difficulties faced by expats, and it can feel too overwhelming to navigate alone. I have spent more than ten years providing guidance to people newly transitioning to Amsterdam, and I am confident I can assist well with any troubles you have.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I am myself born and raised in Amsterdam, and I know it like the back of my hand. The city is rich with possibilities; filled with art, music, history, cinema, sport, food, canals, festivals, clubs, you name it. Naturally, it is hard to know where to begin in taking advantage of what Amsterdam has to offer you. Moreover, when it comes to the less exciting but just as vital matters of practicality, I can comfortably assist you in making decisions surrounding your career or studies, navigating the infamously impenetrable housing market and provide guidance as you make long term plans for your family and children, as they grow up far from home. You should also know that I myself have a large network encompassing many areas.<\/p>\n

I also know, on a basic cultural level, how things are \u2018done\u2019 in Amsterdam, and what is considered rare or unacceptable. These adjustments are bigger for some people than they are for others. A common gripe among expats is the bluntness of Dutch people, which many see as harsh, and incredibly different to what they are used to in their own culture. If such aspects of life are approached with judgement and a closed mind, then it will be hard to ever feel at home here. It is important instead to possess the same understanding and acceptance that you hope others extend to you. Just as it is important to seek out new friends and opportunities as you build your Amsterdam community, so is it vital to maintain your friendships and relationships, particularly familial, from back home. This is easier said than done, but many expats feel regretful if they neglect to do so. It is necessary for us to tend to all our gardens, not just the one we are in at the moment. Ultimately, this transitional period will inevitably have moments of difficulty and unexpected problems will present themselves. It can sometimes feel like many things are coming at you that you cannot control. I am here to guide you through this process, provide clarity and simplicity, and together we can create a new life that you are excited to live.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWe live in times where the tax on our mental wellbeing is tremendous and sometimes may require professional support. Increasingly, there will be days to draw upon the knowledge and skill of others to better ourselves. From experience and testimonials, I am thrilled to recommend Simon Markx Coaching experience. I am continuously impressed by Simon Marks\u2019 supreme ability to connect with people of all walks of life and his capability to get mobilize resources based on his wide network. His elevated interpersonal skills make him uniquely qualified to counsel clients to build decision-making skills and make life-altering positive choices. Simon has an inherent capacity to listen for what is needed, draw out the concerns with passions and co-create ideas towards pragmatic resolutions. He is authentically selfless in his approach to life, to coaching and he has provided priceless value to my personal life transitions through our regular interactions in our friendship.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\tDR.

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSimon has helped me look into myself and reflect on things that I had buried deeply and ignored; he helps me face my troubles, but never forces me if I am not ready. He expects and returns a level of openness and honesty that is so rare and that I have always wanted. When I am talking with him, I feel truly accepted and listened to. I feel that he is totally focused on me and happy to spend the time. Because of Simon, I have begun to feel good about myself again, and believe in myself again, after a very long time. I see how much he accepts himself and he inspires me to reach his level; he inspires me to be a better person, not just for others but for myself too. I am continually grateful that he is in my life.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\tNIAMH LISSIE<\/span>22 years Fine arts student at New York University (NYU)<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI had a true ally on my side when I moved to Amsterdam from Florida. Simon Markx helped me tremendously, from selecting a neighborhood to live in, to informing me of Dutch culture\/ traditions, and even finding vegan food stores. I can honestly say, Simon is an excellent expat coach. I\u2019d recommend his service and skills to everyone. I believe, Simon has a natural gift of helping others. He is incredibly kind and helpful.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\tSIEARA AMIRA<\/span>28 years, Teacher from U.S.A<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen I came to Simon I was trying to find the right career path for myself. Starting the job application process, I had trouble dealing with rejection. Within a few coaching sessions Simon gave me confidence and took away my fear of rejection.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI had struggled for a while to find a new direction in my life and career. Simon helped me to set new goals, evaluate and re-structure the various options I had. Simon is extremely professional, great at active listening, and guiding you to find the solutions for yourself. With Simon, I was able to be myself with all my vulnerabilities and figure out my future in a humorous and positive environment. Simon is a great coach choice for English speakers. I would highly recommend him as a career and lifestyle coach.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\tELSA HAVAS<\/span>27 years | Sports Scientist from Finland<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
