About Saskia

Hi, I’m Saskia, full name Penrose-van Beers, and welcome to the bit about me!

Originally from Holland, I’ve lived in beautiful Cheltenham, Gloucestershire since 2007 with my English husband Kieron and our two teenage children.

I’m a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and NLP Practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting adults and young people (11+) through life’s challenges. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth—with a touch of humour to help things feel a little lighter when needed.

Counsellor in Cheltenham and Online

I have a wide range of CBT and NLP tools, and I tailor every session to suit the individual. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, ADHD, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I’ll work with you to develop practical and emotional strategies that make a real difference.


Originally trained in Hotel Administration in The Hague, I began my NLP coaching career in 2004. After a decade of coaching, I wanted to go deeper and trained as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in 2014 (Level 4), and in 2021 I specialised further in working with children and young people (Level 5). I’m also certified to offer online sessions via Zoom, making therapy flexible and accessible wherever you are.


My hobbies are playing Tennis, cooking, singing in Midlife Choirsis, reading, traveling the world as a Tony Robbins Trainer, and watching thrillers (very much into Black Doves at the moment).

I’m looking forward to working with you.
