About Roos

I work with attention, clarity, and curiosity. Sometimes serious, sometimes light-hearted, but always genuine. I do not shy away from discomfort when it helps to move forward. I think, feel, and move alongside you, continuously attuning to what is present in the moment.

Beginnings

Throughout my life, I have been occupied with the question of why the systems we have created as humans — in education, work, and healthcare — so often fail to align with what we truly need. Performance seems to matter more than well-being, efficiency more than connection.

From this sense of wonder, I co-founded De Bildung Academie together with like-minded people, with the aim of transforming the educational system from within. It was my first experience of the kind of magic that can emerge from a shared ideal. I discovered how powerful it is when people learn together, reflect together, and truly meet one another — and that change often begins in that interaction.

Exploration

In the years that followed, I worked at various educational institutions, where I developed and taught experiential courses focused on personal development. Through my training programmes for organisations, I supported professionals in embracing a new, gentler definition of leadership. And as a coach, I created a safe space for clients to experiment and try out new ways of being.

Gradually, a desire grew to deepen and ground my work more thoroughly. This led me back to Psychology. At the same time, I realised I needed a broader perspective than the purely cognitive. I immersed myself in systemic and body-oriented approaches, as these do greater justice — for me — to the layered nature of human experience: thinking, feeling, the body, relationships, and personal history as an integrated whole.

Integration

Today, I work from Praktijk de Wisselwerking, drawing on everything I have learned and explored over the past years. I support people in exploring their patterns and taking steps that truly last.

Would you like to explore what I might offer you?


I would be glad to meet you in an introductory session.
