At the root of every

problem is a core judgement about yourself

For the past 20 years, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and teaching unconditional self-acceptance. Using science backed wisdom like Cognitive Behaviour therapy, Acceptance & commitment therapy, mindfulness & Transactional analysis. I’ve created an original experience designed to get to the root of your core belief. Not only do we unpack that core fear, but you learn to free yourself of self judgement.

This is more than therapy this is learning a new life philosophy

Therapy is excellent, and yet on it’s own there can be something missing. To achieve deep inner change we support therapy with education about unconditional self acceptance, together this makes something bigger possible. We call it philosophical change. This means not just seeing your problem differently but seeing life differently. This creates deeper more long term change that you can integrate for a life times.

Imagine a life free of self judgement. To truly accept yourself

Imagine a life free of self judgement. To truly accept yourself

I always tell my clients, who needs enemies when we have ourselves. When we no longer have to live with our own criticism life can be pretty good. The greeks said happiness wasn’t the pursuit of pleasure but the absence of pain. When we live without self judgement we feel Lighter, more enjoyable, more fun, less serious. When we free ourselves we get to live. To really live.

Hey Guys, I’m Tom van Berckel. A NHS therapist, coach & explorer of life. Let me tell you my story.

I’ve been a therapist for 20 years. 10 years ago my life fell apart as I faced severe physical health challenges. With severe visual vertigo I was almost completely disabled. My life, identity, career, relationships fell apart.  As my life went to zero, I discovered that when everything was taken away there was a core fear. underneath it all. A fear that I wasn’t enough. Underneath that fear I connected with the truth that I am whole and complete as I am. Today, I bring this lived wisdom into my work as a therapist, coach, and founder of Awake Lab. I hold an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and have trained extensively in Schema Therapy, REBT, ACT, Gestalt, Systemic Coaching, Transactional analysis. I work as a Schema-informed CBT therapist in the NHS. My core mission is to help others heal the root of their suffering: the unconscious belief that they are not enough.
