About me
I’m a British-born counsellor who has called the Netherlands home for over a decade. Having built my life across cultures, I understand both the excitement and the quiet ache of wondering where and how you belong.
After graduating business school, I realised it was meaningless and shifted my career from corporate consulting towards counselling and facilitation. I set-up an association to help young people find purpose, completed a diploma in Counselling and Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry training.
Since 2019, I’ve been engaged in the climate movement — facilitating Active Hope circles to help people transform eco-anxiety and climate grief into grounded purpose. I also facilitate monthly psychedelic retreats and support clients integrating psychedelic experiences, drawing on training at the MIND Foundation and certification as a Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Practitioner. I've personally experienced over one hundred journeys with a variety of plant medicines.
I’m autistic and surround myself with incredible neurodiverse humans who remind me that maybe we’re not the weird ones. I’ve been actively poly since my mid-twenties, learning both the abundance of love it can offer and the emotional complexity it invites.
These lived experiences shape the way I hold space for others exploring connection, authenticity, and belonging — whether that’s in love, in community, or on a fragile planet in flux.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
Somatic coachingRecommended for those who want to use body awareness and movement to release emotional tension and promote personal growth.
My approach is relational, somatic, and infused with curiosity. I walk beside you as a fellow human navigating the same beautifully complex world. Together, we slow things down enough to listen: to the body, to emotion, to the wisdom underneath the noise.
I draw from trauma-informed counselling, somatic integration work and a compassionate inquiry-informed approach (Dr Gabor Maté), helping to explore what’s behind recurring patterns. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we pause and breathe, sometimes we track sensations or emotion rather than stories. My role is to hold a grounded, compassionate space where you can make sense of what’s moving through you.
I especially focus on supporting people living with eco-anxiety, climate grief, or existential overwhelm, as well as neurodivergent folks who experience the world in a special way (myself included). I also support clients integrating psychedelic experiences and those exploring polyamorous or non-traditional relationships, where love and complexity often dance together.
Clients often tell me that therapy with me feels clear, compassionate, and real. My aim isn’t to fix you, but to help you remember the parts of you that already know how to adapt, connect, and thrive — even in a world that sometimes feels like it’s on fire.
