Helping creatives move through change and transition with clarity, confidence and purpose.
“Creatives are fantastic at serving other people’s stories and ambitions. Far fewer have looked at their own story.”
I work with creatives who are entering a new chapter, rethinking their direction, or looking for a more meaningful way to live, work and lead.
Through coaching, mentoring and personal guidance, I help you understand where you are, what matters most, and what steps to take next.
Whether you are facing a personal transition, growing as a leader, building your voice, or simply needing space to think clearly, Unfolding You gives you the support to move forward in a way that feels honest, grounded and true to you.
coaching
Inner clarity that leads to aligned action
A structured process that supports individuals to move from insight into embodiment. It blends emotional intelligence, self-inquiry and practical momentum, always rooted in the client's whole story. This is coaching for people who want results without sacrificing depth.
mentoring
Wisdom, perspective and creative guidance
For individuals who are navigating transition or reinvention - often accomplished, often successful, and sensing there is more trying to emerge. This work is less about fixing and more about helping clients see themselves and their choices through a wider lens.
leadership & institutional consulting
Helping leaders bring out the best in people
I partner with leaders and organisations who understand that sustainable success is built through people. This work supports leaders to lead with presence and emotional intelligence, creating cultures where individuals feel trusted, engaged and inspired to contribute at their highest level.
personal brand & narrative consulting
Crafting presence, clarity and expression
For individuals whose work or ideas are ready to be expressed with greater intention. Drawing on a background in creative producing and storytelling, this is a collaborative process. It clarifies what matters and how that is communicated to the world.
I’m an award-winning film and television producer, creative consultant and ICF accredited coach. It sounds like an odd mix but they all connect for me. Every one of these roles comes down to the same thing: hearing what people actually mean, not just what they say.
I started out as a broadcast journalist, then moved into producing. Journalism taught me to keep asking until someone stopped giving me the answer they thought I wanted and gave me the real one. Producing is the same instinct but aimed differently. You start with a story rooted in human experience, bring together writers, directors, cast and crew, and empower them to get that vision on screen. The creativity, the people, it’s work I still feel lucky to do.
A decade into my producing career, life forced a reckoning that threw me off my axis. It changed how I thought about life, death, meaning, and what actually matters when you're stripped bare. That experience led me to coaching.
I always want to know what’s underneath. I’m not interested in a title or the polished version of the pitch. I want to know who someone really is, and I’ll take the time to get there.
I don’t follow a script, and forced positivity isn’t my thing. I’m intuitive, I listen, and I give people room to think without having to perform. Most people already know what they need to do. They just haven’t had anywhere to say it out loud. Something shifts when they finally hear themselves say the true thing. It’s really beautiful to see.
That’s the thread running through all of it, the journalism, producing, and now coaching.
Unfolding You is for your story, on your terms.

“Rienkje helped me regain a better overview of my life, not just work but all important activities. Seeing everything as important is helpful. But for me, as someone with ADHD, renewed focus is needed. Regaining overview and making clear, yet not merciless, decisions about how to continue my business activities and networking gave me a sense of direction and purpose. Of course, not all problems are solved, but it feels like someone is helping to solve this riddle that is my career, which felt intensely good and useful. Also, Rienkje takes into consideration what type of person I am and knows how to unlock my potential with fitting words and exercises..”

“Working with Rienkje has been truly transformative for me. Her coaching was deeply impactful from the very beginning. She met me exactly where I was, without judgement, and held up a mirror that helped me see both my current reality and the possibilities ahead of me. Her authenticity created a space where I felt completely safe to explore, reflect, and grow. Because of that, I was able to focus on becoming the best version of myself, not the version I thought others wanted me to be. I cannot recommend her coaching highly enough..”

“Rienkje's calm and open presence made me feel at ease with her almost immediately. She truly listens and takes her time, which made every conversation feel focused and supportive. With her guidance, I was able to significantly strengthen and refine my TV series in ways I would not have managed on my own. Rather than simply giving feedback, she asked thoughtful, precise questions that helped me see my work from a new perspective and recognize where it could be improved. Her questions helped uncover the core of my story. She guided me in clarifying what I genuinely wanted to communicate and how to express it clearly and directly. I genuinely looked forward to every session because I always left with clearer direction, new insights, and tangible improvements to my work”

“From our very first session, Rienkje created a safe and supportive space where I could openly reflect. Through her calm and insightful guidance, I gradually gained clarity about my purpose and direction. She helped me organize my thoughts, define meaningful goals, and reconnect with what truly matters to me. What once felt overwhelming became clear and structured. Rienkje helped me align my daily activities with my priorities, allowing me to focus on what genuinely supports my goals instead of feeling constantly busy yet unfulfilled.”.
