Frequently asked questions

Everything about sessions, payments, cancellations, privacy, and courses. Still stuck? Get in touch.

Is this medical treatment or therapy?

No. NextStepUpward provides non-medical coaching and mentoring focused on lifestyle and personal development. We do not diagnose, treat, or provide medical or psychological therapy. If you need medical or mental-health care, please contact a licensed professional or your GP.

How are sessions delivered?

All sessions happen online over video call. After booking, you'll receive a confirmation email with your session time and a link to join. You can attend from anywhere in the EU.

How do payments work?

Checkout is handled securely by Stripe and Mollie. You can pay with iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA Direct Debit, or credit/debit card. Payment is charged at checkout and a receipt is emailed to you automatically. We never store your card data.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes. You can reschedule for free with at least 24 hours' notice, and cancel through your account. Full details and timeframes are in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

What happens to my data?

We follow GDPR and store only what's needed to deliver the service — typically your name, email, and a payment token. We never keep card numbers on our servers. Read our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Do you offer memberships and courses?

Yes. Alongside 1-on-1 sessions and packages, our monthly membership includes live sessions, a library of digital courses and workshops, group sessions, and habit-tracking tools.

Who are the coaches?

Sessions are delivered by vetted coaches working with us under service contracts. We match you with someone who specialises in what you're working on.

Which countries do you serve?

We work with consumers across the EU, with a focus on the Netherlands and Belgium. Sessions are online, so you can join from anywhere with an internet connection.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes — see our Refund & Cancellation Policy. In short: free rescheduling with 24 hours' notice, and if your first paid session isn't right, tell us within 7 days and we'll make it right.

Can I buy a course without a membership?

Absolutely. Each course can be bought once for lifetime access — no subscription required.
