Challenging a toxic system with minimal results is exhausting — and yet we feel we have to continue. Not because we're sure we'll succeed, but because it's the right thing to do.

Since 2016 I've worked with changemakers and activists to nurture resilience: how we keep moving through an unravelling world without losing our balance, our meaning, or ourselves. Much of that resilience comes from connection — to ourselves, to each other, and to the more-than-human world. In connection we find steadiness and support.

I've been part of the climate movement since 2019, with a particular love for regenerative culture. I'm a trauma-informed therapeutic counsellor, trained in Dr Gabor Maté's Compassionate Inquiry — an embodied approach I draw on throughout my Resilience Counselling. My work is relational and somatic: sometimes we talk, sometimes we slow down and listen to what the body and emotions are carrying underneath the noise.

I also work with grief and empowerment practices from Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects, facilitating multi-day retreats that help climate-active people turn eco-anxiety and climate grief into something grounded and sustaining.

If you're carrying the weight of caring deeply about the world — burnout, grief, anxiety, or the quiet question of how to keep going — I'd be glad to walk alongside you. I work primarily in English and offer sessions online and in the Netherlands.
