I am a body-based coach and therapist for men, based in London.

​

I work with men who want to feel more grounded in themselves. Men who may look capable on the outside, but who know something is off underneath. Men who are carrying pressure, frustration, confusion, or disconnection, and who want a more honest, embodied way of living.

​

This work matters to me because I know what it is like to lose contact with yourself, and what it takes to come back.

​

My path

​

I did not come into this work through theory alone.

​

My own path has been shaped by years of searching, feeling stuck, and gradually finding my way back into my body. For a long time, I knew how to function, push through, and keep going. But underneath that, there was disconnection. I was not fully at home in myself.

​

What changed me most was not thinking more. It was body-based work. Breathwork. Emotional truth. Learning to listen to what was happening underneath the surface. Meeting the parts of myself I had pushed down. Letting my body become part of the conversation again.

​

That process changed the direction of my life.

​

It is also what led me into this work with men.

​

Why I work with men

​

Again and again, I saw how many men live with a similar split.

​

They carry responsibility. They keep going. They do what needs to be done. But they often do it by tightening up, numbing out, overthinking, or holding everything alone.

​

Many men have learned to function without really feeling. Or to stay strong by disconnecting from vulnerability, anger, tenderness, grief, desire, or need.

​

At some point, that starts to cost something.

​

It can show up as tension in the body, frustration in relationships, confusion around boundaries, disconnection in intimacy, or a quiet sense that life looks fine on paper but does not feel fully alive.

I care deeply about creating spaces where men can reconnect with themselves without performance, posturing, or pretending they are fine.

​

How I work

​

My work is grounded, direct, and body-oriented.

​

That means we do not only talk about your life from the neck up. We pay attention to what is happening in your body, your breath, your emotions, your impulses, your patterns, and your way of relating.

​

Sometimes that means slowing down and noticing what is actually there. Sometimes it means making room for what has been held back. Sometimes it means getting clearer, more honest, and more direct.

​

I draw on body psychotherapy, Core Energetics, breathwork, emotional process work, and coaching. But more important than any method is the quality of the space itself.

​

I aim to work in a way that is attuned, practical, and grounded in reality.

​

Not performative.
Not overly polished.
Not endless talking in circles.

​

I am interested in what is true, what is stuck, and what helps movement happen.

​

What matters to me in this work

​

What matters to me is helping men become more fully themselves.

​

Not a better performance of masculinity.
Not another identity to live up to.
Not more pressure to get it right.

​

I am interested in the kind of strength that includes honesty. The kind of groundedness that allows feeling. The kind of clarity that comes when a man is no longer split off from himself.

​

When a man reconnects with his body, his truth, and his direction, things begin to change. His boundaries get clearer. His relationships become more real. His energy becomes more available. He becomes easier to trust, including for himself.

​

A bit more about me

​

I was born in the Netherlands and now live and work in London.

​

Before becoming a therapist and coach, I worked as a chef. In some ways, that earlier path still lives in me. I value presence, craft, care, timing, and the ability to work with what is actually in front of me.

​

Over the years, I have worked with men individually, in groups, and in deeper transformational spaces. I continue to be shaped by my own process as well as by the men I work with.

​

This is not work I do from a distance. It is work I believe in, because I have lived it too.

​

If you are considering working with me

​

You do not need to have the right words.

You do not need to be in crisis.

You do not need to be good at talking about feelings.

​

You only need some willingness to be honest and to meet what is actually going on.

If that is where you are, you are welcome.

You can start by booking a free 20-minute call, or by exploring one of my sessions, groups, or programmes.
