About Christie Linley

One day when I was at a very low time in my life I decided I needed some help, I went searching and found Christie Linley. One year later and I can honestly say it was the best decision I ever made. She gently led me onto a path of positive thinking that changed the way I felt about myself and my life has changed around beyond what I could have hoped for. I would recommend Christie to anyone who needs direction or help, I have never met anyone like her she is such a special person. Thank you always Christie.

I had strong doubts about opening up to someone in regards to a couple of aspects where i was struggling, however after getting out of my comfort zone and reaching out to Christie, those doubts faded right from the first session.
Christie makes you feel at ease and comfortable, her methods and techniques to re-organise, re-evaluate your goals and needs are very effective. The fact that she has a similar background (TCK) made it even more so easy to discuss problems and helped me to get back on track.
Every session was insightful and with great results. Thank you Christie!

It’s has been an amazing journey with Christie for the past year. I feel like I came back to life. I’m re-freshed. It’s wonderful to be able to have such a constant guidance and support throughout all this messy and confusing journey of self discovery. She has the ability to use the right words at the right time. I’m very greatful to have her as my coach.

Since 2019 Christie has been coaching my teenage son, helping him strengthen his confidence and setting up viable lifestyle goals, adapted to his current needs. I believe this is a good investment in Mario’s education since Christie can help with issues that the school system entirely dismisses, like how to build your own self-esteem and build the future that you want to create for yourself. In addition, Christie has managed to develop a good trust-based relationship that has allowed Mario to navigate through some difficult times over the past months. As a mother, I have felt well supported and understood by Christie, who has helped bridge gaps when we’ve got stuck on some mother-son issues. We are very grateful for her support.

Working with Christie was a life transforming experience and process for me. I came to her in a time when I felt completely desperate, with no space to think or capability to feel happy and at peace. With every session I had with Christie, it felt like an old layer came off and I got to know myself in a completely different way, overcoming lifelong challenges and difficult emotions that I had been dealing with. Christie is an incredibly loving person, very respectful and professional and I would recommend her coaching to anyone! With her help, I felt like a new space inside of me was created that allows for constructive thinking, self-love and peace of mind, and I never thought that I could achieve these things completely. No matter how bad I felt going into the session, I always came out with a smile, positive energy and a different perspective that helped me to move forward. I even felt a lot of physical changes with symptoms of pain and stress decreasing in my body after the sessions. I would always come back to Christie for challenging situations appearing in the future. All I can say is thank you Christie and please keep up this work because you really can make a positive change in people’s lives!

Christie guided me through the process of understanding my own thoughts. She gave me the tools I have been searching for to be able to become aware of why I feel the way I do, and how I can change my pattern and be in charge of how I feel. I am very grateful for the sessions with Christie as her coaching has opened up my way of thinking and being.

Just having moved to Amsterdam to start my studies I was facing a lot of insecurities, great doubts about my decision and low confidence in what I did and at which point I was at in life. I thought it was normal as a time of adaptation, but I did not feel better and even more desperate about the situation, so after some time I decided to reach out to a Christie.
Christie was so warm and welcoming from the first session on, she made it really easy for me to open up. After those months of doubts and insecurity I already felt some relief after the first session. In the journey that followed, Christie helped me to take on a different perspective on my decisions and helped me out of the steady spiralling thoughts I used to have, so the ‘thunderstorm’ of negative thoughts I had cleared up more and more after every session. The methods and techniques were well adjusted for my situation. I really appreciate the effort Christie took, to equip me with exercises I could follow by myself. I have now finished the sessions some time ago, I am really happy that the coaching supported me in the long run. Christie is a wonderful coach, as I perceived her as truly open minded and really appreciative, and she really understands her subject. So, thank you a lot Christie for all the support!

I was going through a rough phase in my life and felt stuck professionally and personally. I decided to seek help and stumbled upon Christie’s website. The words on the website somehow resonated with me and I decided to give it a try. I was a bit skeptical before the first session, but it changed pretty quickly. We went through a simple yet powerful exercise to reprogram the subconscious mind and right after the session I felt so light and was full of joy and peace. With further sessions, I learned more about my thinking patterns and habits which were holding me back and helped me reprogram my thoughts to overcome them. Christie helped me connect to my inner self which provided me some valuable insights and helped me move forward. Christie is very warm and kind. She listens with an open heart and mind. She radiates calm and peace that you can almost feel. I’m very thankful to her for setting my life in motion again.

From the first moment I stepped into Christie’s praxis I felt at ease. She creates an incredibly save and caring environment.  While we spent a lot of time talking, which was very soul nourishing, we also worked on concrete challenges and through exercises managed to create tangible results. Christie also understands the different cultural issues very well and has a wonderful ability to crystallize the underlying issues, which might not seem so obvious at first glance.
I’m very grateful to have found her and can only recommend Christie to anyone who would like to do some work on the self. (Self-consciousness)

Ik heb Christie leren kennen als een fijne, kalme vrouw. Ik voel me bij haar op me gemak en ze geeft me niet het idee dat ze oordeelt over de dingen die ik zeg. Ze luistert goed en is bedachtzaam over haar reactie. Door de gesprekstechnieken die ze me geleerd heeft, heb ik een tool voor handen gekregen die me leert om kritisch naar mezelf te kijken en laat nadenken over hoe ik overkom op anderen. Dit was erg verhelderend en gaf mij weer nieuwe ideeën om moeilijke situaties aan te pakken. Mede dankzij Christie ben ik weer dichter tot mezelf gekomen en kan ik focussen op wat ik écht belangrijk vind.

The sessions with Christie were truly a life-changing experience. I realised everything is up to me and depends on my approach. After talking to her something happened that switched off my overthinking and I became more positive and relaxed. I can be happy for little things and I can handle better the difficult situations.

Christie is compassionate, intuitive, incredible empathetic and a wonderful listener. Her coaching has truly been one of the most transformative events of my life and I feel so blessed have met her. She helped me discover myself and reconnect with my body and soul. I will forever be thankful for her role in helping me change my life.

I had always been skeptical of life coaches. I never really thought they would be able to help me. I was in a desperate place in my life. I googled “English speaking life coach”- I found Christie Linley. From the moment I walked into Christie”s workspace, I felt relief. She could see what I needed and she could see me, which I felt I had lost. Christie was able to help me navigate through my questions, concerns, emotions and struggles and help me find and regaining my strength and trust in myself again. My friends noticed how positively my life was shifting after three months. They became intrigued and curios and wanted similar guidance. I encouraged them to go to Christie for I have felt so much support throughout the whole process and I am just so grateful. As life continues, I still have struggles but I am reminded bij my own inner strength and trust I can get through it and enjoy the process and the journey.

I had never tried coaching before but Christie immediately put me at ease and made it feel like I had the full attention of an unbiased friend who was able to guide me through the truth of situations. I came away from the experience uncovering things about myself that I probably always knew were there, but never had the courage to face. Christie helped me find that courage and also gave me the techniques to adopt as I continue to learn more about myself.

Through Christie’s guidance and expertise I now have a deeper understanding of my values, what drives me and how I can point my actions and behaviours more closely in line with them. I came to Christie in a turbulent time in my life and she has provided perspective, reframing and multiple tangible strategies that I can use to keep focus and balance.

I met Christie as part of a training program provided by my company. With Christie’s help my personal and professional growth accelerated, I managed to confront and resolve important issues that I haven’t discovered before talking to her. Already after the first session I felt that we make progress. Christie’s style is very supportive yet direct. This allows her to be an amazing and efficient coach. I’ve had experiences with mental health professionals previously, but Christie’s impact outweighed those experiences already after the first two sessions. What was personally the most important thing though: I really enjoyed our sessions on a personal level, as well. Christie is very professional and 100% focuses on YOU, yet in the meantime she shares a lot from her so valuable personal experiences. This makes her very approachable and you can relate to her without losing her full attention. This helped me open up and reflect honestly and never being felt judged. Christie went out of her way, not thinking twice about running the extra mile when I needed her. Throughout our sessions, I felt the growth by the hour and thus would warmly and highly recommend her! She is a wonderful person and an awesome coach.

I met Christie at a very difficult period of my life when challenges at work and personal life almost caused a burn out. She provided me with a space in which I could be vulnerable, open and honest to myself. Through meditation, insightful questions and various exercises she helped me connect to my inner self and start listening to it. This was the start of finding peace and tranquility I was looking for. Facing your inner depths often requires a lot of courage and an open heart. And Christie will be your most trusted guide in this journey.

I have learned so many invaluable lessons about myself from my sessions with Christie. She helped me identify and understand what values in life are truly important to me and my happiness as an individual. This understanding gave me a new outlook and motivation to fulfill and focus on my passions in life.

My coaching session with Christie was a truly life-changing experience. She helped me identify the sources of my frustration, fear and anxiety, then guided me to overcome and deal with each of them on the spot. The revelations I had about myself were unbelievable! Armed with a whole new perspective, I already felt positive changes the day after. Christie radiates a calm, peaceful sensation that immediately sticks on you, and follows you around for days after meeting with her. I wish I did this sooner!

I believe that if one needs help, they can find the best help in oneself. Christie has provided the perfect platform, tools, and guidance for me to take this realization into practice very seamlessly. My sessions with her had a life changing effects on my work and personal life. Christie effectively facilitated an extraordinary conversation between me and my ownself that took my internal and external peace to the next level. Truly inspiring!

Before meeting Christie I had no experience with life coaching or any other psychological/emotional help. Believing that the more I kept to myself the stronger I would grow, I learned from Christie how to rethink my mindstate(s), as she slowly andheartily guided me towards destabilizing my comfort, yet detrimental zone. With our work through provokingly grounding talks, playfully evoking flash-card games as well as our deliciously scented companions of tea, I will say no more but recommend Christie. She is not only a great soul, who you can easily open your heart to but also a great friend, who doesn’t look at you but looks with you.

I had my first coaching session with Christie when I was promoted to a management position. My superior introduced all newly promoted managers to her coaching, wanting us to be the strongest version of ourselves when leading our teams. I’ve never done personal development coaching before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was even a little nervous. The sessions with Christie ended up being such a gift for my personal growth. Through conversation she made me aware of certain ‘techniques’ and ‘routines’ I’ve trained onto myself and helped me recognize and even reprogram them. We talked about personal things that hold me back and she provided me with tools that help me tackle situations that are new to me in my new position. The coaching with Christie is more than a neutral person giving you tips from an outside perspective – it’s rather a discovery of your own thinking mechanisms. I’m lucky I got to do the coaching with her, I highly recommend it.

I found Christie in a time of my life where, after a year of traveling and a journey to myself, I wanted to transform back into my work life by clearly understanding which habits and routines were not serving me anymore. Through her amazing guidance and set of skills, I managed to get a clear vision on what to strive towards and what to give more room in my life. She also supported me in identifying patterns that were helpful at certain moments in time but were now hindering me to fully and joyfully embracing life. Christie is a warm, loving and very professional person with a business and international background herself and understands exactly how to hold the space needed to structure your thoughts, connect with yourself and grow.

Christie heeft mij tijdens een zeer hectische periode in mijn leven enorm geholpen. Ze heeft mij geholpen door meer te luisteren naar mijn (onderbuik) gevoel en mijn echte drijfveren in het leven. Waar krijg ik echt energie van? Waarom doe ik bepaalde dingen? Welke dialoog in mijn hoofd houd mij tegen? En hoe kan ik die dialoog ombuigen naar meer positiviteit en rust? Dat heeft me de kracht en focus gegeven om radicale stappen te nemen: verkoop van mijn goedlopende consultancybedrijf, meer tijd maken voor mijn voetbal-trainersambitie en een goede balans vinden tussen werk en thuis. Zonder haar coaching zou ik nooit zo snel deze stappen hebben genomen. Ik raadt haar dan ook van harte aan!

Christie and I were school girls in Rome together and both returned as adults from our international lives to settle in our countries of origin. Later, my husband and I attended Christie’s wedding, and decades on stayed connected as our lives developed and we both faced the elemental challenges that happen to us all with marriage, children, parents, deaths. Christie trained as a life coach and her life long strengths of deep empathy for others clarified into a crystal clear competency. She is not only a friend but also someone who helps me across the world and across cultures to deeply listen, appreciate, encourage and trust. Christie is one of my safe spaces in life, and as we speak together to pay close attention to the joys and sufferings of life, Christie shares her own challenges generously. She listens and questions me with clear eyes, ears and clear heart so that my underlying concerns become like a mirror to me, and slowly the path that is mine becomes evident.

If you’re looking for a good, profound, warm and invigorating accompaniment to innovate your possibilities – if you want to grow – please contact Christie, after losing important anchors, she made me feel lively and strong to develop new perspectives.

Christie made me feel comfortable. She is calm, listens well and responds with focused useful questions which forced me to think about the essential questions regarding my life which was overfull. Through Christie’s calm listening ear the noise in my head calmed down and softened. With her questions and interventions my awareness grew and things became clear. In just 3 sessions I regained the feeling of being in control over my life. It is now about 9 months ago that I talked to Christie and still each and every day I enjoy the positive effect of our coaching sessions.
