Loopbaancoach gezocht (Engels) voor positioneren, leren presenteren en netwerken freelance designer

Toelichting:
Hello,
I found myself at the point, when – two years after pursuing my master degree in design – I am still not able to earn enough money to pay at least the most necessary bills, such as rent and food. I realised I might need some proper advice and I hope you could help me.

To describe my situation in more detail:
I come from Slovakia and I moved to the Netherlands 4 years ago to study at Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam. I was accepted immediately after my bachelor studies and I don't have any experience from interships from before. After graduating, I was involved in several collaborative projects and working on few commissions (I started my own company in January 2015), but because of the irregularity of the income I took a side job next to the freelance practice. This situation took approx. 5 months, when because of health problems I had to quit the side job and I decided to fully focus on my own design practice.

For 2 months I was lucky and managed to cover all my expanses – but from January I was not able to get any new clients. I was searching for part-time (or full-time) job in my field (graphic design), but I was not successful because of multiple reasons: my design approach and portfolio is not very commercial (I was always working rather for individuals or smaller cultural or educational institutions) – so I am not a fitting candidate for an agency job. Also with a lack of "office" working experiences (I did all the projects as freelancer) and with my education background (that I got to know is considered to be "too alternative" for some HR people).

I realised my place is therefore probably outside of the official structure – and I would like to be able to make my own company work. But I am nevertheless still struggling with framing myself, positioning myself on the market, presenting myself and networking. I know the language barrier is often an issue – I would like to take a language course, but first I would need to save some money for it (and that's pretty much a problem with everything – i.e. need to buy a new laptop, or even health expenses).

I feel stuck in the process of trying out everything and achieving nothing. I know there are a lot of things I can offer, I am good at and I could turn into a desirable products – but I seem not to be able to pin point them in this situation.

What would you recommend me to do? I know this might be for a longer discussion than just one advice – therefore I would be interested in the possibility of coaching and the price for your services. Thank you in advance!
Kind regards.
