Bo Mérei | Counselor & Coach Avis 

Over the past year and a half that I have seen Bo, he has always been a patient, supportive and compassionate listener. It has been good to have a witness, and someone who i use partly as a sounding board, as I go on with the ups and downs and changes in my life.

Bo is amazing at what he does; giving insight and counseling to help in life's most difficult challenges. Having a session with Bo just feels like having a heartfelt conversation with a good friend that wants you to thrive in life. Can only recommend!

I've been working with Bo for about 2 years and he has been an absolute rock in guiding me through turbulent times and strengthening my identity and confidence. He has shown an innate ability to understand and empathize with my insecurities and never stopped providing me with invaluable practical guidance to navigate tension at my workplace and battle self-worth issues in relationships.
I value our sessions deeply, they have aided me in profound ways towards self-betterment. Can't recommend him enough. Thank you for everything.

I’ve been seeing Bo for about a year, and I feel very lucky to have found him. From the beginning, he created a space that felt safe, warm and non-judgmental. He combines genuine empathy with a high level of professionalism and knowledge, and I always feel that he’s really listening and understands what I’m trying to say—even when I struggle to find the right words.

Over time, I’ve built a lot of trust in him, which has allowed me to open up and explore topics I had avoided for years. With his support, I’ve gained more clarity about myself, my relationships, and the patterns that kept me stuck. I notice real changes in how I handle difficult situations and how I relate to myself.

Bo is a wonderful counselor and a truly caring person. I can’t imagine a better fit and honestly couldn’t ask for more.

Bo has been a really great support in my Life for more than a year now. He helped me with all kinds of issues in my life. Spending time with him is always a great investment into yourself.

Working with Bo over the past years has helped me grow personally and professionally. He is a great listener and super knowledgeable about the struggles that adults can go through when working in high-stakes environments – and when trying to make sense of this wonderfully strange thing: living a life. During the sessions, I always feel a great care and genuine compassion, while occasionally, he is challenging me and gently guiding me, all this in a respectful and loving way. Bo takes his job very seriously, puts lots of energy and thought into every session, and I fully trust him. I already recommended him to close friends and will continue doing so without doubt.

I've been working with Bo for a little over two years. He has been a constant support in this time. He is insightful and extremely reliable. I have learned a great deal about myself in our sessions and I feel like the process has been of great value.
I strongly recommend Bo.

I’ve been seeing Bo for four years now, and during some of the most unbearable moments of my life, he has been one of the main reasons I was able to keep going. He is truly my safe harbour. His professionalism, empathy, and calm presence create a space where I always feel heard, supported, and understood.

It doesn’t matter how I feel at the beginning of our sessions, evergreen single time, without fail, I leave feeling better, lighter, and more grounded. I’m deeply grateful for the guidance and stability he has provided throughout the years. I couldn’t recommend him more.

I've been working with Bo for a few years and he has been great. Meeting me where I am, pushing when necessary, suggesting activities/ideas to help me through tough things. And of course listening.
Working with him has helped me through some tough spots in my life.

TL;DR: Bo is fantastic and helped me immeasurably!

A year ago I spotted that my life was about to change in a variety of ways all at once.

1. I was due to become a father for the first time
2. I wanted to make the next step up in my career
3. I needed to face a personal fear

And I needed to do all of this whilst living as an immigrant (UK > NL).

I thought a coach/counsellor could provide some perspective - and that was probably the best decision I made in 2024.

Bo has been nothing short of fantastic; he spots themes and unnoticed details. He positively surprises me with his questions and analysis. He remembers context that even I forget!

12 months later (and many sessions with Bo)...

1. I'm a confident father to a little boy
2. I've made the next step in my career (this was a journey 😅)
3. I got passed the fear

I wholeheartedly recommend Bo's services.

I recently completed 12 transformative sessions with Bo, focused on my career path, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Bo's approach is truly unique and impactful—he didn’t just dive into career strategies right away. Instead, he first helped me uncover why I felt hindered in my professional life, guiding me through the emotions and self-imposed blockers that had been holding me back.

Through our sessions, Bo helped me gain clarity on these obstacles, providing me with practical tools to address them in the future. Together, we explored what kind of leader I aspire to be, aligning my values with actionable steps that I can now confidently take toward my career goals. The balance between emotional exploration and practical advice was exactly what I needed.

I absolutely loved working with Bo and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking not just career coaching, but a deeper understanding of themselves and their leadership potential.

Wonderful experience. The sessions supported us perfectly in making a big life change, and we greatly appreciate his work.

I came to Bo because I was having some troubles figuring out my goals in dating. His package was very helpful in diagnosing the problems and helping me figure out my goals and some strategies. He is also LGBT-friendly. I would recommend Bo for life issues like that where you're getting hung up over and over; he's very helpful and supportive in figuring things out.

Working with Bo has been a pleasure and incredibly impactful. Through insightful self-reflection, he helped me overcome fears and obstacles in my approach to relationships. Bo equipped me with tools I didn't realize I had to tackle challenges, and his guidance empowered me to advocate for myself, whether it be through communicating my needs or setting healthy boundaries. A definite five-star recommendation!

When I started with Bo, I was totally overwhelmed and didn’t know where to begin, but I knew that I needed some big changes in my life.
He helped me to discover my values and strengths, giving me valuable insights to help understand my needs, and I was then able to work through difficult decisions with confidence.
A lot of our sessions were just very positive and uplifting, celebrating my wins and encouraging further growth. He is very hands on with identifying topics that we could work on, by understanding what’s holding me back.
Bo has an incredibly genuine and caring approach to his practice, I will definitely return to him next time I’m needing support and direction!

I wanted some help making a transition in my carrier and found Bo. He helped me discover my strengths and gave me a structured lens through which to view my challenges. He was very level headed and pragmatic which fit with me well. We made progress each session but without any uncomfortable pressure. If I ever feel the need for coaching again Bo will be at the top of my list.

I've been working with Bo for the last few years. Living abroad, moving houses, changing jobs, a pandemic, somehow the last years always provided plenty to work though.
What I like about Bo's approach is that he skilfully combines the space for a free-flowing conversation, but always makes sure that I also create some action points to take with me. By always asking thoughtful questions he does challenge me to think just a bit harder about my own assumptions and allows me to open up possibilities where I might not have seen them.

Happy to recommend Bo as a coach.

We started working together more than 3 years ago. Bo guided me through several life situations, helped to overcome obstacles. It is still an ongoin process which i truly enjoy. He helped me a lot to get to know myself, to find balance between private and work life, to gain self-confidence, to trust myself. He is a very professional coach, always well prepared and giving the attention, time you need. What I especially like that he is open-minded, having good sense of humor and he has lot of technics, games, tools, resources to color up the work together. I am very grateful to work with him.

When I think back two years to when I started working with Bo it’s truly remarkable how much things have changed for the better. In my life and in my mind. Bo’s greatest skill has been enabling me to make those changes myself. He clearly draws from a wide range of skills in our sessions and he uses these to keep a very clear view of our long term plans. Bo empowers and encourages me to be the decision maker in my life. But I can tell that my decision making has become far more healthy, contrastive and authentic since working with Bo. Rather than telling me what to do he’s taught me how to be and that is now reflecting in my life.

Working with a queer friendly, queer knowledgable, fluent English speaking coach has been vital for my personal growth. Bo is able to understand and adapt to my perspective and work with me rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Bo is a sensible, calm, honest, and compassionate person and that reflects in his work. I’m so grateful to have found him and be working with him on many aspects of my life and growth.

Safe, constructive and challenging coaching sessions that makes you comfortable with diving into the uncomfortable. Each session helps you to find a way forward in your process and the dialogue always starts from where you are at the moment, leaving room for self-reflection. Each step of the process is celebrated and it gives you the confidence to continue. Attending these sessions have been absolutely instrumental in my personal development and growth, highly recommended!
