Tom Marshall

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.
