One-to-one Sessions

I offer one-to-one sessions to help people orient when life feels complex or stuck. Together, we uncover and release what gets in the way, allowing a deeper innate resourcefulness to become available again. From there, clarity and wise action arise naturally. Not by pushing or pulling, but through a fuller, more intimate relationship with life as it is.

My work is grounded in the Aletheia Unfoldment Method, a non-pathologising, trauma-sensitive approach informed by systems thinking. It brings together parts work drawing on Internal Family Systems, somatic inquiry informed by body psychotherapy, process work based on Eugene Gendlin’s Focusing, and presence-based inquiry in the tradition of A. H. Almaas' Diamond Approach. You can read more about the method and its neuroscientific foundations in this paper.

I’m also a certified facilitator in Loch Kelly's Effortless Mindfulness. This approach combines Internal Family Systems with nondual meditation practices, drawing on Loch's contemporary interpretations of Dzogchen and Mahamudra Buddhism. It offers a direct and intuitive way to access Presence, or Self. For more on how Effortless Mindfulness and IFS complement each other, see this conversation between Richard Schwartz and Loch Kelly.

​

Alongside this, my approach is guided by six years of meditation practice, as well as experience from other background and training.

Learning & Research Design

I work with universities and organisations to design learning and research environments that help people orient toward what truly matters and make responsible moves amid ambiguity and values in tension.

Rather than treating education as the transfer of established knowledge, these settings function as spaces for shared inquiry. Participants learn to stay with uncertainty, and draw on both careful analysis and embodied practices to make grounded decisions in the presence of social, ecological, and technological complexity.

An example of this is the Collective Futures MSc program at the University of Amsterdam, which I co-designed and co-lead. There, students, researchers, and societal partners collaborate across disciplines on issues such as democratic resilience, climate adaptation, and PFAS pollution, using the project itself as a site of learning, reflection, and experimentation.

My work combines methods for systems thinking, problem framing, and prioritisation, with embodied, dialogical practices that cultivate attentive presence, emotional attunement, and relational awareness. This keeps analytical reasoning connected to lived experience, enabling responses grounded in a fuller view of the situation at hand.

I collaborate on curriculum and program design, workshop facilitation, and research processes where learning is not only about solving problems, but about cultivating the capacities needed to act responsibly in an uncertain world.

Contemplative Activism

I contribute in an advisory role to the academic branch of the Climate Courage Schools campaign team – an initiative by UK-based Climate Majority Project, rooted in principles of 'contemplative activism'.

 

In collaboration with Caroline Lucas (former UK Green Party MP and Member of the European Parliament), the Climate Psychology Alliance, the Mindfulness Initiative, ClimatEdPsych and others, we're growing a broad coalition of educators, academics, unions, campaigners, and parents to call for an education system that prepares young people for a time of rapid change. This means supporting emotional resilience, systems thinking, collaboration, and connection to nature and one another.

Improvisational Arts

I work in artist collectives engaging in residencies and community practices that explore radical presence, embodied listening, and mutual aid efforts. These creative spaces allow for experimental approaches to relationality, sense-making, and cultural repair.

​

For an overview of my past work in sound art and interactive installations, see.

In my free time, I enjoy making music and practicing improvisational dance.
