Tom Marshall
Tom Marshall is a psychological and psychosomatic counsellor based in Rotterdam, working with a client base that includes expats, changemakers, couples, neurodivergent people, and those navigating non-traditional relationships or existential issues. His approach is relational, trauma-informed and somatic: he offers a grounded, compassionate therapeutic space and draws on somatic integration, compassionate-inquiry inspired methods, and body-awareness practices to support emotional processing, personal growth and integration of life or altered-state experiences (e.g. psychedelic experiences).
Service
Tom offers individual counselling, couples sessions, somatic coaching, and integration support for clients dealing with grief, loss, trauma, eco-anxiety/climate grief, neurodiversity (e.g. ADHD), relationship issues including polyamory or consensual non-monogamy, spiritual crises, and psychedelic integration. Sessions are available in person or online in Rotterdam, and he provides a free 30-minute introductory call for new clients.
Approach
My approach is relational, somatic, and infused with curiosity. I walk beside you as a fellow human navigating the same beautifully complex world. Together, we slow things down enough to listen: to the body, to emotion, to the wisdom underneath the noise.
Tom uses trauma-informed counselling, somatic integration work and a compassionate inquiry-informed approach (Dr Gabor Maté), helping to explore what’s behind recurring patterns.
Sometimes we talk, sometimes we pause and breathe, sometimes we track sensations or emotion rather than stories. My role is to hold a grounded, compassionate space where you can make sense of what’s moving through you.
Tom especially focuses on supporting people living with eco-anxiety, climate grief, or existential overwhelm, as well as neurodivergent folks who experience the world in a special way (myself included).
Safety
Therapy is offered by Tom as a trauma-informed counsellor and coach, with a supportive, non-judgmental and collaborative stance. He tailors the approach to each individual’s situation, offering somatic, relational, and integrative methods rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol — which supports safety and responsiveness to each client’s background and needs.
Care pathway
Interested clients start with a free introductory 30-minute call (online or in person) to discuss what they are seeking and explore fit. If both client and counsellor agree to proceed, sessions (individual or couples) are scheduled, using a tailored plan that may include somatic work, talk therapy, integration support or coaching, depending on the client’s issues and goals.
