About the Founder?

Founder Thomas Van Berckel went through nine years of severe mental & physical health challenges. As his life crumbled,  his journey of suffering became his teacher, learning many valuable lessons. In facing adversity & 
suffering, he embodied the way of the hero cultivating courage, resilience & faith. The path he walked helped him see the huge benefits for growth & learning in life’s challenges, transforming his view of suffering.

Tom has an MSc in CBT, and has studied many different therapy modalities including Schema, REBT, ACT, Gestalt coaching & evolutionary astrology.

Awake talent

All our therapists and coaches are fully accredited by recognised regulatory organisations in therapy and coaching. We ensure that every expert on our team has the necessary training and credentials. However, accreditation is just one aspect of our selection process. It’s equally important to us that our professionals are trained in the approaches we are passionate about and they are aligned with our mission and purpose.

What is the journey?

Throughout history, many have spoken about the path of self-development, known by various names such as the hero’s journey, the fool’s journey, and the inner quest. Ancient traditions refer to it as the journey of liberation, self-actualisation, or enlightenment. These narratives all highlight how life’s challenges are designed to help us grow and evolve. As we progress, we gain wisdom, knowledge, and mastery over ourselves and our surroundings. Our tailored sessions are crafted to guide you on your own hero’s journey, supporting you every step of the way.

Awake Inspiration

At Awake, we draw inspiration from the rich tapestry of self-development traditions—from ancient wisdom and the human potential movement to contemporary psychological therapies and transformational coaching. Our
mission is to blend these diverse approaches into tailored experiences that empower and transform.
