About outdoor coach weekly program & coaching
Enjoyable and very helpful coaching technique!
In August 2025, I traveled to Sweden to participate in one-on-one coaching with Bas. The way this company provides coaching is a beautiful, natural method that opens new doors and allows you to approach your own life differently, leading to a sense of complete peace and relief. I would recommend it to anyone who feels blocked in life or encounters obstacles that cause them to get stuck. Whether it is ADHD or not makes no difference. Bas possesses wonderful skills in reading your body language to make the coaching truly personal.
Doing this in Sweden is certainly a helping factor due to the peace and nature around you. The culture is also so relaxed, and they don't know what stress is here. During the walks, you also get to hear fun Swedish facts, which I personally find really nice and interesting. You also come face to face with foxes, deer, slow worms, vipers, and tiny toads/frogs!
My advice: Go for it!! You can always change your path!'' - Richard - Outdoor coaching week program - Sweden
A review from Anne
Anne came to Sweden in october from The Netherlands and took a dive by coming here by herself. She wrote a review about her intensive coaching experience, consisting 2 full mornings.
'From the very first moment I got in touch with Bas, it became clear to me how many positive qualities someone with ADHD can actually possess. My impulsive – and completely undefined – question quickly led to an even more impulsive yet concrete response from Bas. It was obvious that he was thinking in terms of possibilities. That alone already gives so much energy! It’s such a relief when someone speaks the same language. And before I knew it, I found myself, with all my heart and soul, breathing in the peace and space of the Swedish nature.
That said: not without a few moments of fear, because making the choice to really choose for yourself is incredibly scary. But even for this fear, there was room.
And I noticed soon enough that this wasn’t the first time Bas had guided someone through it. The right conditions were created for me to leave with peace of mind. And believe me, even getting a 1930s diesel engine running again would have been easier! That Sweden is such a beautiful place to stay probably helped as well. The pure air, the relaxed atmosphere, the raw nature and breathtaking landscapes made all my distractions and overstimulation fade away. This finally gave me space to work on what I find the hardest: to feel.
The sessions with Bas were effective. Literally with space and air around you to breathe. Sometimes far outside my comfort zone, but always with a safe and trusted foundation. Uncomfortable? Absolutely… Where I had managed to fool several psychologists with my learned masks, Bas pierced right through my carefully constructed elephant skin within seconds. Not with complex theories, protocols or rigid schemes, but through real connection – and a healthy dose of humor. Feeling. Who is standing in front of me, and what does this person need?
In the past, I could flawlessly anticipate what the “right” answer in a psychological session should be. Unnoticed (and unconsciously!) I would present the perfect trauma/burnout/depression storyline (been there, done that) and often responded from expectations. And that's precisely why it didn't truly work for me at the core. But with Bas, I couldn't get away with that. It was confrontational, sometimes raw, but spot on.
Because of the setting in the middle of nature, the energy it cost and gave the space to ripple further. There were hardly any distractions, which improved my focus. I think it's fair to say that Bas has witnessed a deeper layer of me that very few people have ever seen.
Do I feel reborn afterwards? Am I fully healed? Overflowing with energy? No – I have to disappoint you there. And I think that's also an illusion. But being able to experience with all my senses what it actually means to feel – that is an invaluable enrichment and the very first step in my recovery and in reclaiming my own self. It starts with recognition. A person who can put their finger on the right sore spot. And the willingness to look yourself in the eye critically and dare to be vulnerable.
This journey and these sessions are the best gift I could have given myself.
And hey, if you're the type of person (like me) who usually only reads the key sentences and already tuned out by my second line – I got you ;) :
👉 The coaching sessions with Bas in beautiful Sweden were incredibly valuable, and I highly recommend everyone to take the plunge as well. Thanks for making this experience possible!'
Bas is a great coach who gives you the tools and insights that help you during beautiful walks in the Swedish nature. Making a fire together with a fire stick and grilling sausages over it was an extra bonus.

After all those years of labels, medication, and plans to change myself, Bas truly saw me for the first time. Even during our initial meeting, he saw common threads in my symptoms, identified them, set me to work, and after 8 sessions, I was free of most of them. Now I am tapering off my medication and it is going very well!

I also wanted to tell you that you helped me a lot during the intake last session. I felt very understood and supported after all these years! You managed to flip the switch, so that almost immediately after the conversation I felt more space in my head because I know: I don't have to do it "alone" anymore.

"When I first spoke to Bas, I was a big work machine. I lived fully in the process of adjustment. We got a lot of work done, and Bas was truly a beacon of light in my process. I had no idea that I could gain so much influence over my own thoughts and behavior. If I had known that beforehand, I wouldn't have waited so long to start coaching. Now I feel relaxed and dare to enter into relationships again."

I spoke to Bas on the phone for the first time and I don't know what happened, but it seemed like he saw right through me instantly. He was immediately able to pinpoint things he noticed, which caused me to shift my mindset right away. He asked if he should keep the silk gloves on or not. I said no. After a few sessions, I changed jobs, became a child coach, and continued having sessions with Bas in the meantime for support. He really never lets you down.
At first, I really wanted to learn to relax, but I never managed it. Somehow, because we created a direction with an exercise that I can also feel, all that noise in my head is gone, and I am more goal-oriented, focused, and relaxed all the time. I am really super happy.

No more mood swings, old obstacles out of the way. I now feel more like my brain is helping me instead of working against me.

"When I first came to the coach, she really saw me. I was able to get started very quickly. Now I am more relaxed and yet more productive because I am no longer distracted all the time."
Josine online coaching
"I actually thought I had some kind of handicap because I have ADHD, but I feel very differently about that now. My head is calmer and I can now also deal with my emotions. Much better!"
