   About Me

Hi, I’m Marlon.

My path into this work has been shaped by a wide range of life experiences. I grew up in South Africa, surrounded by nature, where I first developed a strong sense of wonder, challenge, and reflection. Over the years, I worked in many different fields, including horticulture, leatherwork, rope access, carpentry, set building, and boatbuilding. Each stage of life taught me something about people, resilience, and the deeper questions that often sit beneath everyday life.

Later, I served in the British Army. That period of my life, along with the years that followed, exposed me to both the beauty and the difficulty of being human. I experienced hard realities, but I also came to value presence, perspective, and the quiet strength that can emerge through challenge.

Later will working as a cabinet maker, a serious back injury eventually brought life to a stop and forced me into a period of stillness. That time became a turning point. It gave me space to reflect more deeply on who I was, what mattered to me, and the kind of work I wanted to offer in the world.

This led me to retrain in Transpersonal Coaching Psychology. Despite the challenges, I committed to this path because it felt deeply aligned with my own lived experience and values. Although I have come comparatively late to this profession I bring experiences that may help you help yourself.

My approach is simple.  My role is to offer a grounded space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself more fully. I work with presence, attention, and careful listening, supporting you as you explore your own inner resources, clarity, and direction.

Life can be intense, demanding, and at times painful. It can also be deeply meaningful. My work is about helping people meet their experience with more awareness, balance, and self-understanding, so they can move forward in a way that feels more honest and more their own.

I am here to support you in reconnecting with what is already within you: we are all more than we think we are.
