NDC - Nicolas Doster Coaching

I have suffered from chronic, mild and then moderate depression for the last 14 years, but it was never properly diagnosed by my family doctors, psychologists and therapists.
They all only ever saw the symptoms and tried to address them (stress at work, stress with small children, not enough sport, not enough balance, moving to a new country with my family, burnout, working from home after corona, etc.) but never looked at the actual causes. I didn't want to/wasn't able to connect the psychosomatic side effects (tiredness, frequent colds, tinnitus, headaches, dizziness) with my psyche.
I was treated privately by 7 psychologists/therapists over a period of 10 years. Recently I was even in behavioral therapy for 12 months, which was paid for by health insurance. There were good sessions from time to time, but I never recognized a plan of treatment and all were focused on the symptoms and never really had a plan to find the real causes.


After all these experiences, I came across Nicola's podcast by chance. I felt directly addressed and recognized myself in many of his episodes. It was the first time I said - finally someone who has experienced exactly what I have been feeling for some time and I no longer felt lonely and misunderstood. I hadn't had that feeling with any of the psychologists or therapists.

That's why I approached Nicolas and organized an appointment to get to know him. As I was in a low again at the time, which came unexpectedly, I decided to start the coaching program for 12 weeks at the same time and finally got on antidepressants.
Antidepressants worked for me immediately and supported me like a crutch during the coaching program.
As I had already read a lot myself in the last 10 years and had already made a few discoveries, I was able to find myself in Nicola's structure and get involved in the coaching accordingly. The structure helped me a lot and gave me confidence - finally someone with a plan and who thinks about the causes and not just the symptoms.


Nicolas is a very pleasant person, has a positive and reassuring voice, is trustworthy, listens well, takes notes, asks the right questions. I made a contract with myself to be open to everything, to try everything and to get involved in the coaching. I trusted myself to talk to Nicolas about topics that were very painful and private.
The first new insights came very quickly. I was able to recognize new connections and see progress. My situation has improved with each session and now, 6 months later, I am doing so well and feel more alive than I have in 13 years. My children can feel the difference ("Dad got rid of his black dog") and my wife thinks the old me she fell in love with is back.

I looked at my contract yesterday that I made with myself 6 months ago. I had 6 wishes, and I have to admit, at the time I didn't believe it was all doable. It's unbelievable, but in 6 months I've achieved everything I wished for/undertook back then.


The time, energy and money I invested in coaching with Nicolas have been very worthwhile for me. I can only recommend Nicolas and his program and wish we had met earlier.

After the coaching, I finally got to know myself, understood myself, found my false beliefs, reformulated them and learned to love myself in the process. My recovery is not over yet - it's a process that still needs time, patience and work from me. But I am on the right path and I am confident that I will make it.

The subsequent Consistency Calls, organized monthly by Nicolas, help me to stay on track, share with other people who have completed the coaching, support each other, give new impulses and learn from each other.

My personal experience with Nicki was perfect. He always knew exactly what he was doing. Trust was established very quickly and the first "aha" moment was not long in coming. The coaching was great and on a completely different level to normal therapy. I was really helped here and that's why I would recommend this coaching any time. A big thank you again at this point!

Dear Nicolas, thank you very much for our 12-week journey, during which I was able to get to know myself and my inner processes much better. You taught me a lot of new things that have already made my life easier and made me feel lighter. I felt very comfortable with you during the twelve Zoom meetings. Your kind nature and mutual trust made the collaboration a success. Thank you! Above all, I wish you good health and happiness and look forward to continuing our exchange with you and the other clients. All the best, Steffi

Couching with Nicolas was the key to finding myself! Thanks to him, I've been feeling much better for years. I can recommend his couching 100%.

Nicolas' program is very well thought out and if you do your homework, you can really make progress. It really helped me a lot, I've come a bit closer to myself and found new energy guzzlers.
Thank you very much Nicolas for this great workshop

Hello, I can only recommend Nicolas. The meetings with him were very informative and successful. What I particularly like is that you are not on your own after the coaching. Once a month there is an online meeting to exchange interests, information and help

Finally someone who can really help. Never before have I met a person who suffered from depression and managed to beat the illness. I attended the support group 12 times, which Nicolas led free of charge and with great professionalism, and it was the most important and valuable time for me in the last six months. J.S.

A newspaper article brought Nicolas and a new self-help group to be set up to my attention. As part of this group, I got to know Nicolas during the 12 sessions as a coach with excellent specialist knowledge, who was able to explain the causes and effects of burnout/depression to us thanks to perfectly prepared worksheets and a clearly structured and self-explanatory guide.
He underpins the topic with examples from his own life and explains the causes of depression in an extremely plausible way. Nicolas not only impresses with an extremely high degree of empathy. He perfectly recognizes when participants are ready to reveal experiences, fates and unpleasant events from their past to the group in order to shed light on them together.
Gently guided by Nicolas and his insights from his past, their own (past) experiences then came to the surface, allowing self-help to slowly develop.
Dear Nicolas, thank you very much for 12 weeks of cooperative support and your highly professional guidance in working together. Much of what had been lying dormant was explored and explained in an understandable way.
Thanks to your many different approaches, perspectives and support, I now have the chance to shed beliefs from the past. Thank you very much for my new perspective on the future and the new positive attitude I have gained, especially towards myself.

Very authentic, based on his own experiences; Mr. Doster is likeable, his coaching is structured and goal-oriented. It helped me a lot and made it clear that the "journey" always goes on and that I always have to work on myself if I want to continue on the path I have chosen.

In-depth explanation ...it would be nice that you can clarify to deaf people with interpreters 😬

I had already heard a lot about depression, but the depression workshop still helped me move forward and deepened some things. I thought it was great to take part and exchange ideas with others. It was important for me to be "guided" and Nicolas did that more than well. THANK YOU

I got to know Nicolas through his SHG group, the chemistry was right and I decided to get coaching from him. And that was one of the best decisions I've made in recent years.
I've been suffering from depression for years and have undergone many therapies. But it was different with Nicolas. He is incredibly empathetic, he understands you.
As part of the therapy, I was able to think intensively about my childhood again, which helped me understand much better why I behave the way I do. Today I can recognize many protective strategies and feel that I no longer need them. Live much more freely as a result. Question my actions and understand why I often felt so bad. I feel better again and I can deal with bad days better and treat myself to what I need.
The meetings were always on the same day and on time. You never felt under time pressure.
Nicolas knows what he's talking about, you can feel that he understands you and has experienced a lot himself. But he has also worked intensively on it, trained further and is always on the lookout for new opportunities.
Nicolas has given me a voice to express my feelings and needs, to say no. It feels so good. It feels so good.
I can only say, have the courage to try to make your life better with Nicolas. It's worth it
Thank you Nicolas

I can only recommend coaching with Nicolas. His professionalism is absolutely top-notch and he always listens and responds to the needs of each individual. At the beginning I was really skeptical, but after each session things started to fall into place and today I can really say that I feel much better.

The process was perfect. The coaching took place online at the same time every week and, above all, always on time.

Nicolas is a coach who has undergone a lot of further training and knows what he's talking about. You feel that you are in very good hands with him.

I would definitely recommend the coaching to others.

Many thanks Nicolas

I had the pleasure of participating in a three-month coaching program with Nicolas, which aimed to promote my self-development and focus on my personal desires and goals. We worked intensively on identifying and overcoming beliefs and overcoming fears.

Nicolas was extremely authentic and open. His ability to actively listen and respond to my needs was remarkable. The accompanying workbook proved to be extremely helpful and offered additional insights and tools for my personal development.

The homework that was part of the program was well structured and not overwhelming, which allowed me to implement it effectively and make continuous progress.

Through coaching with Nicolas, I have re-learned to take more time for myself and have a more balanced approach to my life overall. His professionalism, empathy and commitment helped me to achieve important breakthroughs and steer my life in the direction I wanted.

I was very fortunate to participate in Nicolas Doster's "Become You" coaching program, and I can safely say that it was an interesting and exciting experience for me. As someone who has suffered from chronic depression for a long time, I was skeptical at first with Mental Health coaches springing up, but the results speak for themselves.

From the beginning, I was impressed with Nicolas' workbook, which he sent me prior to the coaching. It was well structured, detailed and made me feel like everything was well thought out. The weekly Zoom sessions were always enjoyable and I immediately felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with Nicolas.

Nicolas is not only a great coach, but also an incredibly insightful and humorous person. His own experience with depression allowed him to connect with me on a deeper level and work with me to find customized solutions to my challenges. In the 12 weeks I spent with him, I was able to identify several key moments that led to me understanding myself better and finding ways to deal with my depression.

The "aha moments" that Nicolas was able to trigger in me were truly amazing. Each session brought new insights and helped me to better understand my thinking patterns and behaviors. Thanks to Nicolas' coaching, I now feel better equipped to deal with my depression and hopefully live a more fulfilling life.

I highly recommend Nicolas Doster's "Become You" coaching program, especially for those struggling with depression or other mental health challenges. Joining the program was one of the best decisions I have made in recent years, and I am deeply grateful to Nicolas for his support and expertise and look forward to continuing to work with him in whatever way I can.

My experience with Nicolas are consistently positive. He deals very empathetically and intensively with the existing problems and tries to work out possible solutions together. Through his own experience, he can often put himself in the emotional situation well. I have already been able to implement and integrate some tips (nutrition, etc.).

Mr. Doster was always available for me, responded well to questions and requests and always looked for the best solution. Trust is written in capital letters! Finally I can talk about my illness.
Recommend at any time!

I am someone who rarely gives feedback. Especially not full "score", but Nicolas has more than earned this rating.
In my opinion, he knows exactly what he is doing. He is aware of his responsible task. I am always impressed with how he manages to untangle my head chaos and help me get a clear view of my issues and then work on them in a very focused way. I am very grateful that you exist! I hope that more people who are not doing so well will find their way to you!

I have gone a long way with the help of Nicolas and can remain psychologically stable in many daily stressful situations and go strong through everyday life.

I was already 2x on mother child cure and thought there I will be helped. But after I have completed Mr. Doster his program. I have only understood which roots are wrongly anchored and must be set right again.

And especially how I can do that.

He works in a clearly structured and goal-oriented way, is present at all times and the very best FEELFUL."
That did me a lot of good. I was able to let go and take off my safe strong mask.
So I learned how to train my mental strength and how to feel and fully utilize my mental resistance again.
After paying attention to the little things pointed out/learned, I was able to enjoy and FEEL the daily tasks and moments again. I can feel again. That feels so good.
I still have a way to go.
Nevertheless, with the help of Nicolas I have gone a long way and can remain psychologically stable in many daily stressful situations and go strongly through everyday life.

I feel myself and my inner strength growing more and more and I am better and better at allowing MANY feelings instead of repressing them. And take off my mask in front of myself.

The twelve-week coaching helped me to recognize where my problems really come from and how I can deal with them better. I tried a lot of things before and nothing really helped me in the long run. That's why I was a bit skeptical at first and found it especially great that Nicolas offered me a 100% satisfaction guarantee and that I would have gotten my money back if the coaching hadn't helped me.

Thank you very much for your support, Nicolas!
