Holistic Online Counselling for Deep-Feeling, Highly Sensitive and Neurodivergent Women

My Mission

I support deep-thinking, deeply feeling, and often highly sensitive women who have always felt a little different. You might be perfectionistic, exhausted, overwhelmed, or constantly “holding it all together”. You may be wondering why life feels harder than it should why you're so tired.  After all, you’re capable, smart, and self-aware. Maybe anxiety and burnout keep returning no matter how much you try to manage them.

If that’s you, you’re not broken. You’re responding to a world that isn’t designed for sensitive nervous systems, complex thinkers, or women who care deeply. Together we’ll explore what's underneath your anxiety, unpick the patterns that keep you stuck, and help you feel at home in yourself again.

I work from the belief that we are part of nature, and that mind, body, emotions, and environment are inseparable. Our nervous system, genetics, upbringing, sensory load, and lifestyle all contribute to how well we cope, and this is especially true for highly sensitive or neurodivergent women who often mask their needs until burnout forces a collapse.

My approach is holistic and practical. I integrate lifestyle medicine, EFT Tapping, somatic tools, mindfulness, psycho-education, and other nervous-system based techniques to help you create real and lasting shifts. Together we’ll create a personalised roadmap with simple, workable steps that fit your life, not someone else’s ideal.

If you think a little differently, feel deeply, or have always been “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, this is a space where your way of being is understood, respected, and supported.

About Me

Hi, I'm Hilke, a holistic counsellor and wellness coach for women who process the world intensely, whether that’s because of high sensitivity, late-identified neurodivergence, trauma, or a lifetime of over-functioning.

My work began decades ago in acupuncture and somatic therapies. When I first learned the Five Element Theory of Chinese Medicine, the idea that everything is connected  (our health, emotions, energy, environment, and our relationships) completely changed the way I saw people and healing. That belief has shaped every step of my work.

I’ve always been drawn to whole-person healing rather than treating symptoms in isolation. For a time, I stepped away from energy-based therapies, questioning the science. When I discovered the research behind EFT Tapping and saw the profound nervous system effects in myself and my clients, it felt like coming home. Now, combining counselling, somatic work, and lifestyle practices allows me to support women in a grounded and evidence-based way without losing the depth and intuition of holistic work.

At the centre of my practice are authenticity, compassion, respect, and deep belief in every person’s capacity to heal. I value difference and I know we are all doing the best we can. That’s why I support women to reconnect with their body’s own intelligence and reclaim the balance that has always been there, just buried under stress, masking, and expectation.

Outside of work, I live my values by choosing the most harm-reducing path I can, for animals, the Earth, and the people around me. I’m also a mum and carer, and I’m grateful every day for the flexibility this work gives me to look after my family.

I’m committed to making therapy accessible to women who need support but can’t always get to in-person sessions. That’s why all my work is offered online, so you can receive support wherever you are, and in a way that honours your energy, your nervous system, and your life.

If you’re seeking personalised support for anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, emotional intensity, or the subtle sense of always being “different”, I’d love to support you.
