Yura Boersma
Korean-born, Dutch-raised, now living in Southeast Asia.
I work with people who never fully fit one place: expats, adoptees, and anyone navigating that strange in-between phase of starting over later in life.
My counselling is direct, and free of therapy jargon. If you want honesty and someone who knows what rebuilding yourself really feels like, you’re in the right place.

My way of work
My sessions are grounded in two ideas that shaped my life:
Stoic principles about what we can and cannot control, and existential ideas about mortality, meaning, and taking responsibility for the one life that is ours to live.
I’ve learned that starting over later in life isn’t the end.
It’s a hard moment of truth: what should you leave behind — and, more importantly, who do you want to become?
Because I know long-term stress and complex trauma from the inside, I work steadily and respectfully, drawing on grounding practices, mindful awareness, and reflective journaling to support that process without rushing it.
