About

Hi, I'm Lea-Jade.

I'm a CBT-informed coach based in Amsterdam, with an academic background in Clinical Psychology. Alongside that, I've worked in creative and public-facing environments — which shaped my understanding of the pressure, stress, and uncertainty that can sit behind ambitious lives and careers.

Candid Coaching is a calm, supportive space to reflect honestly, understand yourself better, and develop healthier ways of navigating both personal and professional challenges. My approach blends emotional insight, self-awareness, and practical reflection — always tailored to the individual.

Candid Coaching is not therapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment, but a reflective, growth-oriented coaching space informed by psychological principles.
