Resilience Counselling

Reconnect with your emotional home to nurture your capacity for resilience

Feeling exhausted while trying to make a difference? Anxious about the state of the world?


Challenging a toxic system with minimal results is tiring. But we feel obligated to continue. Not because we believe we'll succeed but because it's the right thing to do.

To sustain our impact, we need to nurture our resilience: moving through the storm while maintaining our balance and determination. We develop resilience by connecting to ourselves, each other and the non-human world. In connection, we find balance, meaning and support.

Resilience Counselling can help you...

  • Process (climate) grief in a safe space of compassion & care

  • Let go of negative habits that are draining your energy

  • Find peace by unravelling the origins of your anxieties

  • Identify and transform limiting beliefs that are holding you back

  • Find meaning and purpose in a time of crisis​

Book your free discovery call with Tom today.

We can then explore whether it makes sense to work together and how to move forward.

Svdr_Tom-shoot_25-min.jpg

Since 2016, Tom's been supporting people to find purpose in an unravelling world. He began by facilitating workshops for young people, as part of his non-profit Extraordinary Life.

This evolved into coaching & counselling that focuses on changemakers in sustainability after he joined Extinction Rebellion in 2019.

He's a certified Life Coach and currently completing the year-long Compassionate Inquiry course with renowned teacher Dr Gabor Maté. He utilises this embodied, trauma-informed approach in his Resilience Counselling sessions.

Tom's clients know him as a determined optimist, who genuinely cares about people and spreads positive energy wherever he goes.  

He's also a personal development nerd, who's continuously working on himself. He's a Vipassana practitioner, attending yearly 10-day meditation courses and practising daily. This supports him in maintaining an open, non-judgemental awareness with his clients.

"Tom and I clicked from the beginning and it inspired me to see his passion and dedication throughout our sessions. Tom has the ability to make you feel at ease and comfortable, but he also asks the difficult questions you need to be faced with and you might have tried to avoid. Moreover, he prepared a well-structured and coherent path that helps you give a structure to your thoughts."
