Reclaiming Yourself: Healing from Trauma and Narcissistic Abuse
Trauma Therapist
ICF Certified Coach
BACP Accredited Counsellor
Narcissistic Abuse Specialist ™️
A part of you knows something's still being held deep inside
Maybe it was years of walking on eggshells, or a single moment that shattered everything.
The invisible weight of not feeling good enough.
The rupture of betrayal.
The quiet unravelling of divorce, burnout, or loss.
You’ve held the pieces and just kept going, but inside, something still feels fragmented; a heaviness, disconnection, or numbness you can’t quite name.
This isn’t who you are, it’s where you are after all you’ve carried.
And now, a part of you is ready to release the pain of what was, so you can make space for joy, ease, and a life that feels like yours again.
Emotional pain leaves an imprint, not just in your mind, but in your body.
It lives in your nervous system.
It shows up in your thoughts, your relationships, and the way you move through the world.
Even subtle shifts in life can resurface old wounds.
You might not call it trauma.
But your body remembers.
Moments when your voice was silenced.
When your needs were dismissed.
When your trust was broken.
These stories often get stored, not spoken.
When words are not enough
You’ve tried to work through it. You’ve done the reading, the analysing, the talking, the journaling, but something still lingers.
Sometimes, words alone can’t reach the places where pain lives.
That’s where therapy with Brainspotting comes in, to help you gently process more deeply.
What is brainspotting
Evolved out of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and aligned with somatic practices, Brainspotting is a gentle yet powerful therapy that helps you process overwhelming and deeply impacting experiences that may have become stuck in your nervous system.
Using still eye focus and optional bilateral sound, we gently bring your attention to the feelings, body sensations, beliefs, and images that may naturally arise in connection to a difficult experience. This allows your brain and body to access and release stored emotional pain.
You don’t need to talk in detail unless you want to; your system leads the way. As the stuck emotional charge begins to clear, people often feel lighter, more grounded, present, and able to move forward without being held back by past pain.
Time alone does not heal trauma.
Therapy with brainspotting can help if you're...
- Caught in cycles of self-doubt, people-pleasing, or perfectionism
- Healing from relational or betrayal trauma, including narcissistic abuse (no matter how long ago)
- Carrying the weight of childhood trauma or Complex PTSD
- Feeling anxious, burnt out, or emotionally overwhelmed
- Navigating grief or profound loss
Healing begins by listening to that inner knowing, by gently turning toward the parts of you that were never fully seen or heard.

Hi, I'm Sharon
With over 19 years of experience as a qualified therapist, including a decade as a BACP Accredited Senior Counsellor in the NHS, I now work exclusively in private practice, offering specialist online therapy across the UK.
I'm a trauma therapist, and ICF Certified Coach and survivor of narcissistic abuse, and I've always worked with the body and mind, but since bringing Brainspotting into my practice, something's shifted - for me and my clients. I'm seeing people release emotional pain they've carried for years, not just by talking about it, but by tuning into the body, the nervous system, and what's been unspoken.
It's gentle, it's powerful and it's helping people heal in ways that feel deeper, quicker, and more lasting than I ever thought possible.
Grounded in neuroscience and informed by Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), my approach is compassionate, embodied, and deeply validating.
This isn’t about fixing you or changing who you are, it’s about gently acknowledging the parts of you that were never fully seen or heard, and helping them let go of what they’ve been carrying for so long.
Who do i work with?
If any of these resonate with you, my approach may be a good fit for your needs:
- You are high-functioning, heart-led, the responsible, sensitive one, always putting others first, and it’s exhausting
- You’ve been in relationships where you had to earn love, manage someone else’s emotions, or walk on eggshells
- You often feel anxious, shut down, stuck or overwhelmed
- You struggle with self-doubt and implementing boundaries, even though you appear confident and successful on the outside
- You feel stress in your body - muscle tension, headaches, digestive issues, fatigue, low energy, palpitations, heaviness in your chest, sleep disturbances - maybe with no obvious cause, and sense that painful experiences affect the whole of us, body, mind, spirit
- You experienced a challenging, painful life event that you feel is still around for you somehow, keeping you feeling stuck, disconnected from who you truly are
- You’ve tried talk therapy before but feel something is still stuck, wasn't quite reached
- You are intuitive, curious, open to exploring your body-mind connection
- You’re ready for more than coping; you want to feel connected, and whole again. To increase your capacity for joy, to thrive, not just survive.
It may feel uncomfortable after always putting others first, but finally investing your energy in yourself can open up a whole new world to you.
Reclaim your life
The quiet grief of losing yourself is a kind of pain we rarely name, but it’s real.
"Trauma is not what happens to you, trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you".
~ Gabor Mate
