Olivia van Cuylenburg

I started The Ignite Practice to create a space that feels real and welcoming — a space where anyone, from any background, can come and feel truly seen. Whoever you are, and whatever you’re going through, you’re welcome here. I became a counsellor because I believe everyone deserves someone in their corner — someone who listens, cares, and doesn’t judge. My journey into this work wasn’t straightforward. Long before I had formal training, I was learning about resilience, survival, and the profound complexity of being human, through caring for others, and through working in the community. I have sat with people in some of their darkest moments, and I’ve done my own healing along the way. That experience shapes how I show up for my clients.
