The whole of you is welcome here
Compassionate self-enquiry and intentional change
I’m Henny
I work gently and relationally — walking alongside people as they find their way through change.
I laugh easily. I love the ordinary moments of life. And I know how it feels to numb and distract — and how much richer life becomes when we stop running from what’s here.
This work isn’t about becoming someone different or floating off into the mystical ether.
It’s about coming home — to yourself, to your life — and meeting it with compassionate awareness.
The work is deep, and we hold it lightly.
My story
Like so many of us, my journey into this work began long before I consciously knew it had started.
Years in the corporate world taught me how easily we can become driven by other people’s measures of success. Then a period of high stress, deep grief, and limited self-care culminated in a critical illness that forced me to listen.
I had to slow down.
To soften.
To live my life in a different way.
Through mindfulness, journaling and coaching, I began to untangle the fears, expectations and self-judgements I’d been carrying. What emerged was something I hadn’t realised I’d been missing — a deep sense of self-compassion.
That journey changed everything. It shapes the way I now walk alongside others — with honesty, tenderness, and practical wisdom.
How I work
All of my work is grounded in compassionate self-enquiry — inviting people to be with what unfolds in their lives with kindness, clarity and calm.
As a trauma-informed therapeutic coach, I draw on:
Parts Work
ImageWork
Mindfulness
Systemic & Constellation coaching
Somatic practices
I work with the intelligence of the Head, Heart and Hara, supporting these three sources of wisdom to come into alignment.
I don’t offer answers.
I offer space — to breathe, reflect, and move forward in a way that feels true.

Why this matters
"It is literally neurobiologically impossible to think deeply about things that you don’t care about." Mary Helen Immordino-Yang
Every life has turning points — moments when the path ahead feels unclear and we’re called to pause, reflect and grow.
Learning to care about ourselves — our thoughts, feelings and needs — is not indulgent or selfish. It’s essential. When we meet ourselves with compassion, we create the conditions for real, lasting change.
If you feel drawn to step closer, you’re welcome to explore the different ways we might work together — in conversation, in quiet, in writing, or in shared spaces.
There’s no pressure here.
Simply an open door.
Henny has helped me to create a tool box for life. I have seen a real improvement since starting sessions. She is a lovely, warm, funny, caring and compassionate woman.
From the outset, there was a strong level of trust and I felt very comfortable. We covered a whole range of topics from work/life balance to personal wellbeing and mental health.
Working with Henny has been life changing. I have been able to explore difficult areas in my earlier life. And now have confidence to make positive changes looking to the future.
I wasn’t in a good place at the start of our journey but Henny has such a calm and non- judgmental presence which made me feel safe and no longer overwhelmed.
