About Mieke

I am the owner of Safe Haven Coaching. A bilingual website for online coaching and counselling.

How come bilingual?

After secondary school (High School in the United States) I wanted to do something with my love for the English language, which resulted in three years spent at a teacher training college.
During on-the-job training I realized it was not for me. But I kept a keen interest in English and especially Britain and the United States. And I like to visit both countries as much as I can.

Why online counselling?

After several counselling courses and f2f work I found out my true love lay in Online Counselling and working with people from various background, and writing in English or Dutch.
I have followed several course at Online Training for Counsellors Ltd to qualify for working online.
