I’m glad you’re here. I offer holistic counselling for individuals, couples, and I also run workshops with groups—supporting you to find clarity, healing, and purpose through a compassionate, whole-person approach.
As an accredited counsellor (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, UK), and a recently-joined member of NOBCO (Netherlands) I blend person-centred therapy with systemic practices. My work includes 1-1 counselling, constellation workshops, nature-connected therapy, and exploring deeper life questions, such as: Why am I here? What is life asking of me? How can I transform my challenges into the gifts I’m meant to bring to life and to the world?
How and where I work
Many of us find ourselves caught in repeating emotional patterns, and whilst part of us genuinely wants to change, other parts remain resistant, living a smaller-than-necessary life. While talking therapies can bring deep relief, they may also reinforce old narratives. I invite you to go deeper—to look beneath the story, and beyond your usual words.
Together, we explore the root causes of your challenges, which may include ancestral or unconscious influences. Using a holistic approach, this sometimes includes listening to the body’s intelligence as a way to transform. That means we get out of the therapy chairs sometimes, and explore topics in other ways!
I hold a systemic focus: we are shaped by family dynamics, culture, work, trauma, and beliefs. Our counselling will gently bring awareness to hidden loyalties or entanglements that may be keeping you stuck—and to free your energy for more conscious, life-affirming choices.
This is a partnership. Each session is tailored to you. I am skilled and intuitive at working with the energy and content you bring to each session. The work often includes practices you will take home afterwards, like trauma-informed breathwork, journaling, meditation, or nature-based exercises to sustain growth and focus between sessions. This is often the rocket fuel that makes all the difference – the saying goes: ”if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got!’’
Where I Work
I offer counselling both in person and online, providing flexibility to suit your needs and location.
- In-person sessions take place in Voorschoten, Netherlands – typically on Wednesdays, with occasional evening appointments available (subject to availability).
- Online sessions are held via Zoom, and are a popular choice for many clients—especially when I’m travelling between the UK and the Netherlands.
- Many clients choose a hybrid approach, combining in-person and online sessions depending on timing and location.
All appointments are booked directly with me. Feel free to get in touch to check availability.
What Clients Say
“Marcos met me just where I needed to be received and understood—in a safe space, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. His support helped me regain a sense of harmony and purpose during a very difficult time.”
“There is a palpable sense of being safely held with Marcos, which allows whatever needs to be seen to emerge. He brings warmth, insight, humour, and deep clarity.”
“I arrived sceptical and in a dark place. What followed was a wonderful and sometimes challenging journey of self-discovery. I only wish I had started it sooner.”

About Me

I’m fluent in English and Greek, and speak basic Dutch and French.
