How to proceed when you want to work on your future (and your present) or the future of your organisation using the 5P-Formula© as a compass?
Step 1: Read the Terms and Conditions, and if you agree with all terms then go to next steps.
Step 2: One condition for us to working together is that you need to at least be willing to work with the 5P-Formula© and be open to committing to the principles contained in it. For this reason read the 5P-Formula© document found below first before continuing.
Step 3: Simply put, one or more of your problems, does not discriminate if they are personal or professional problems, can fall in one of the 4 General Problems categories. Before our first session I need you to read the Sustaining Blocks of Life document that can be found below too, as knowing it will help you with filling the intake questionnaire and it will help you determine if you really need or want my help, or not.
Step 4: Fill in the intake questionnaire https://dima0sxjhuv.typeform.com/to/mesgz2Qh.
Step 5: Choose how many minutes/hours you want to reserve for our first session. Minimum is 15 minutes and maximum is 90 minutes for the first session, check the price list down below. Each first reserved session block comes with 5 to 15 minutes free intake for a short introduction and explanation moment.
Step 6: Make a reservation using my Calendly-link and pay upfront for your (first) session, payment information can be found further below. After you send the payment send an e-mail to alvin@tcpaconsultancy.com with a screenshot of your payment. Consultations can only take place when the payment entered the bank account or BTC/ETH wallets.
Step 7: Depending your reservation, be on time for the video call or at the agreed meeting place for an in-person session.
Information about payment option and some links with payment options can be found further below the 5P-Formula© and the Sustaining Blocks of Life-document. If you pay with crypto (BTC or ETH), send an e-mail to info@tcpaconsultancy.com with the amount of crypto you have send, conversion rate you’ve used, and the Calendly time-block you have chosen.
What to expect from a session?
The 7-step intake process is already a start of a session, however, by filling the intake questionnaire some people may realise by themselves what they need and/or want to do next in life or in their organisation, while having the confidence that at least initially they do not need anymore help to make a start. So it might be that for some people a sessions ends for them at step 4, and for others they would love to continue finishing all steps to reserve a session.
Each session is in the end unique, customized to your needs, however the goal for each session is that afterwards you can leave with a clear (short/long term) personal and/or professional action plan for your life or organisation, and with understanding of a (mental) tool (5P-Formula©) you can use to be more confident in achieving your goals. In essence, you will need to be prepared to open up to help me help you and work together to make our planet a place present and future generations can be proud to be part of, and that starts with YOU!
Of course, how successful a 15-minute or even 90-minute session ends depends greatly on your understanding of the ideas linked to the 5P-Formula©. The free intake time before each session starts is to complete the assessment of your own understanding and views on the ideas contained in the 5P-Formula©, using in combination the answers given in the intake questionnaire. During the intake time before a consultation, you can expect to always hear a personal assessment if it is realistic that we can successfully conclude the session within the paid/reserved time. Even if from your answers I already know that doing a consultation will not yield great results, when it’s obvious that you put effort in answering the questions in the intake questionnaire the video or in-person session will start with the intake because I would want to more personally explain to you why I cannot accept your money and will give you a full-refund back.
With choosing 15-minutes or 90-minutes you will receive same quality of advice. The difference between a short session and a longer session is the amount of time we would have to discuss more in-depth the eventual questions you might have about specific concepts. However, 15-minutes in general should give someone the answer to what they need or want to do next.

F.A.Q’s
1.
Q: Can I get a refund if I don’t like the (first) session?
A: During the intake session before we officially start we both need to decide if we are continuing or not, if one of us decides not to continue you will get a 100% refund back. After the session officially started, as we’re working with the 5P-Formula, if you have a valid reason you will get 100% refund back on the time not used per 5 minute blocks, minus eventual travel costs for face-to-face sessions. If you make a reservation for example for 90 minutes, and in the end we only use one hour and we both agree only 1 session is needed, then you will get the 30 minutes that’s leftover 100% refunded back, this is also valid for sessions with professionals.
2.
Q: What if I don’t have an important question to ask for the (first) session?
A: Having a question beforehand is useful but not essential to complete a successful session. Having no questions but still ordering a session is remarkable in itself, so even if you don’t have a question, addressing that fact during a session might even trigger questions you didn’t realize was in you to find answers to.
3.
Q: What if I only ordered a 15 minute session, but at the end of it I would like for us to continue so that we don’t need to start back at square one in a next session?
A: As each session is unique, customized to your needs, we cannot predict beforehand how intense it will go for any of us. This is the reason that it doesn’t matter the length of the session that is reserved, there’s always standard a set amount of time reserved for the intake and extra time afterwards being reserved for me to eventually recalibrate myself before I can go interact with other people. There’s no guarantee that we can turn a reserved 15 minute first session into a 90 minute session, however, there will always be room to extend a session a bit longer if needed.
Although important for you to know is that, in the case we mutually agree to extend a session, you must pay for the (mutually agreed) extended time before we can continue the session.
4.
Q: What if I already know that we would need more than 90 minutes to deal with the (life/professional) questions I’m having?
A: I am indeed a psychologist, but I’m not a clinical psychologist. I majored in social and organizational psychology and I am not a therapist. My goal is not to have (prolonged) weekly sessions with you, but merely with the help of the 5P-Formula guide you to be able to use the (inner) tools you already have, or to explore with you the (inner) tools you can develop on your own or eventually with the help of other professionals, that will empower you and give you (more) confidence in pursuing the (life/professional) path you’ve chosen for yourself.
So, if you think you need more than 90 minutes, reserve and pay for your first 90 minutes and afterwards together we will see if you are right, and if so, how many more sessions we think would be needed to do the job. If we conclude that there would need to be more sessions spread over multiple months/years, then there’s the possibility for you to buy a package of set hours with a discount on the standard hourly price.
However, an important aspect of each session is that they last for maximum 90 minutes (excluding the intake time). The idea of each session is that you can leave with a clear (short/long term) personal and/or professional action plan, and with enough (mental) tools you can use to be more confident in achieving your goals. If we get to 90 minutes in a session, what we discussed would need to be absorbed and pondered on before we can continue, while there’s always the possibility to plan another session soon after if you feel we need to dive deeper on some (personal) points/issues you’re having.
5.
Q: Do you offer sessions for teams or multiple friends/family members at once?
A: Maybe in the near future already, but probably more in the long term. For now, with the limited time I have, I focus only on individuals within each session.
Nevertheless, I could give a talk or workshop for multiple people at once, but then the subject of these (paid) talks or workshops would be about the 5P-Formula, and I won’t be able to properly address individual (life/career) paths. So if you’re a business owner, ceo or (upper/middle) manager who would like a more direct guidance to implement the 5P-Formula into their business operations, for the time being we would need to do it through one-on-one sessions wherein you could purchase a package of a set hours for us to have ample time to discuss things in more details.
If needed and possible, we could also use hours in the package for me to do one or more in-house visits to follow and experience for myself certain aspects of your day-to-day operations. Also if needed, we could afterwards plan sessions wherein you invite one or more people to join us if we conclude their opinions matter significantly in your (in)ability to set your life/professional goals.
6.
Q: Do you accept payments in cash?
A: I can only accept cash payments for face-to-face sessions wherein you can pay with cash before start of the session. If you live in the EU and prefer to pay with direct bank transfer, you can use the Revolut link or send your payment to:
T.C.P.A. Consultancy
IBAN: NL16ABNA0587264365
BIC: ABNANL2A
Bank Address: Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Comment/subject: the calendly date/time block you have chosen.
7.
Q: I need a consultation but I do not have enough money, can I still reserve a session?
A: At the moment there are no pro-bono consultations available, so if you reserve a session through Calendly but did not finish the payment process our consultation cannot happen. However, I do advice you to fill in the intake questionnaire and if afterwards you still feel that you need a consultation, at the penultimate question of the questionnaire you can explain to me why I need to make an exception for you.
Just to do some expectation management: the chances are still small that I will make an exception for you. However, even if we cannot continue with a consultation, I will be reviewing your answers you filled in the questionnaire and if I find something valuable to tell you, I will e-mail you my feedback and/or the questions that came up in me while going through your answers.
My goal is to help you (or your organisation) become the best version of yourself that you can be. So if from your answers I get the impression that you are genuine and you are indeed trying to do your best, but you simply do not have the money to cover the costs of a consultation, I do not mind taking the time to e-mailing you my feedback and/or questions that I might have, even when I am not getting paid for that. The same is also true for if I get the impression that you were not taking answering the questions seriously, then in that case I will also not take your reservation seriously, and you can then expect that that will be the only feedback you will receive from me.
8.
Q: How can I trust what I discuss with you will not be shared with anyone else?
A: The reason why you will never see testimonials here on my website is to protect myself of the professional liability with bad actors wanting to extract information out of me about the people or organisations I worked with. During the consultations we create a safe space for us to be able to share personal information about ourselves. Yes, if need be, I too will be open with you about anything you might want to know about myself, especially when me sharing my own experiences could help you understand things better. If you afterwards go tell other people the personal things about myself that I told you, I might get embarrased, but it cannot affect me being able to help other people. If I go tell other people the personal things you told me about myself and that gets out, my reputation will be ruined and I will not be able to help other people because they wouldn’t be able to trust me with their personal things.
This even goes as far as testifying in court. What we discuss during consultations will not be recorded and per our contract not even in-front of a judge will I be able to divulge the personal things we have discussed.
