One-to-one online sessions with Rudi Voet

Real movement — often after a single session.

Online counselling with a European clinical specialist. Every session is recorded for you, turned into a personal workbook, and followed up in writing — so the work keeps working after the call ends.

Book a session

Limited direct-session availability

What one session sets in motion

  1. 01

    A focused hour on Zoom

    Sixty minutes of full attention, from wherever you are.

  2. 02

    The session is recorded

    You get the summary — so you can be in the conversation instead of taking notes.

  3. 03

    A personal workbook

    Built from your own session, in your own words. Not a template.

  4. 04

    A note, a week later

    Short and personal: how did that one thing go?

  5. 05

    Movement

    Not a plan in a drawer — a next step you actually take.

The difference is in the week after

A good conversation brings clarity. The trouble is that it fades as soon as life starts up again. What stays is what you have in your hands.

This is what you take home

Most guidance leaves you with a good conversation. Here, a booklet built from your own session lands in your inbox a few days later. Have a look inside it below.

Written for you

Dear Claire,

We spoke on Tuesday. You told me about the evenings when your son doesn't come home, and about your phone lying next to your plate with the sound turned up. You said: I'm not a mother any more, I'm a guard.

This booklet comes out of that conversation. Not out of a manual — out of your own words. You don't have to read it in one go. One page at a time is enough.

Example pages, written for this site — not from a real client. Real workbooks are for the client alone.

How this works

A focused hour, online

We meet on Zoom, for about sixty minutes. No waiting rooms, no travel — the session fits into your week instead of taking it over.

The recording is yours

Every session is recorded and you receive the summary. You don't have to hold everything in your head or scribble notes while you talk. You can simply be in the conversation — and the session comes home with you.

A guided workbook

Within a few days a personal workbook lands in your inbox, built from your own session: your words, your situation, your next steps. No app and no login — a document you read through, print if you prefer paper, and write in. It's yours, and you keep it.

A short note, a week later

About a week after the session, Rudi sends you a short personal note. Not a summary — you already have that — but one question: how did it go with the thing you set out to try? It is the moment you notice someone is still paying attention, even when you are not in a session.

One thing to be clear about: the recording, the workbook and the follow-up are fully private. They exist for you alone — never shared, never used for anything else.

Behind the scenes, Rudi works AI-supported, with tools he built himself to turn a session into a workbook. If you already work with AI, you know what that makes possible. If you're simply curious: all you'll notice is that everything arrives unusually well-prepared.

What I've seen

I've seen families who felt stuck for a year notice real movement within two weeks. I can't promise that — but it's what I work toward in every session.

What people tell me most often isn't that the session felt good. It's that the workbook that arrived afterwards put something into words they had been circling around for years.

After thirty years in clinical work I know what one honest hour can and cannot do. It cannot fix everything. It can very often make the next step visible — clearly enough that you actually take it.

— Rudi Voet

Questions

Is this therapy or coaching?+

Honestly in between: counselling, built on thirty years of clinical experience. It is not a replacement for acute or specialist care. If you are in crisis, please contact your GP or local emergency services first — and come back here when there is room to work.

What happens with my recording?+

It stays yours. It is used once — to build your summary and workbook — and after that it exists for you alone. Nothing is shared, published or used for anything else, and you can ask for it to be deleted at any time.

How does the workbook work?+

Within a few days of your session a personal workbook arrives as a document: your situation, your words, your next steps, worked out on paper. There is nothing to log in to. Read it at your own pace, print it if you would rather work with a pen, and bring it to a next session if you want one. This is a different thing from the Compasses you can put together yourself on heliobuddy.com: those come out of your own question, this comes out of the conversation. A guided workbook, written on what Rudi heard you say.

Which language do we work in?+

Dutch or English — whichever is yours. The workbook and follow-up arrive in the language of the session.

What if I want more sessions?+

The single session is the front door: many people come for one and leave with enough to work with. If you want the full arc, three sessions build on each other. No subscriptions, no pressure — you decide after each session.

Ready when you are.

One focused hour, fully private — and everything you keep afterwards.
