Do you feel that the version of yourself you would normally recognise, or that you'd like to recognise, is lost or out of reach?
Are you a high achiever, with a great career, but your personal relationships feel tricky?
Do you struggle to trust yourself, or other people?
Do you feel confused and conflicted about a relationship or friendship?
Maybe you find yourself walking on eggshells around a particular person in your life?
Are you stuck in a pattern of people-pleasing, struggling to say 'no' and never really focusing on your needs?
Do you find yourself constantly apologising or hiding how you really feel?
Does it seem that no matter what you do, or how much you achieve, you just never feel good enough somehow?
Do you feel empty, disconnected or like you could be approaching burnout?
Have you experienced a stressful relationship or time in your life that you just can't seem to recover from?
Are you struggling with a chronic health condition or brain fog?
Maybe you have noticed changes in your behaviours such as emotional eating, drinking more alcohol, procrastinating or withdrawing from others?

It can be so difficult for us to find our rhythm when life feels disjointed or stuck, lacking a sense of flow.
What has happened to you?
Stressful life experiences can continue to take their toll on us long after we have experienced them, even from childhood.
Not knowing why we feel so low or anxious can leave us feeling out of control.

It can be so difficult for us to find our rhythm when life feels disjointed or stuck, lacking a sense of flow.
What has happened to you?
Stressful life experiences can continue to take their toll on us long after we have experienced them, even from childhood.
Not knowing why we feel so low or anxious can leave us feeling out of control.
We may feel guilt, a sense of shame and unfairly blame ourselves.
Please know that we never struggle for no reason, we just don't always fully recognise what is going on for us.
Let this be your catalyst for change.
How are you coping at the moment?
If you feel wounded, empty or burnt out, you will need a recovery space.
Regardless of whether your experiences feel big or small, you really can start to heal and create lasting change for yourself.
All of my therapeutic work is trauma-informed and I have a somatic approach ~ I work with a body, mind, emotion focus.

All of my therapeutic work is trauma-informed and I have a somatic approach ~ I work with a body, mind, emotion focus.
This is because our body, mind and emotional world are ALL affected by what happens to us.
If you are suffering after experiencing a time in your life where you felt threatened, frightened or powerless, even if this was many years ago, you could benefit from trauma-informed Counselling or Rewind Trauma Therapy.
If our stress response system remains activated long-term, we experience over-exposure to cortisol and other stress hormones. There is evidence to suggest that this disrupts our body in many ways, including increasing our risk of experiencing;
Digestive problems ~ Sleep difficulties ~ Headaches, Weight-gain ~ Long-term or Chronic illness, Anxiety and Depression.
We may self-sabotage and have difficulty trusting others, or ourselves.
~ This is not our fault.
We may get angry and defensive very quickly, feel confused or conflicted and adopt behaviours such as emotional eating, people-pleasing, procrastination or perfectionism.
If you are giving yourself a hard time about any of the above, please know that you are likely trying to protect yourself, without realising it.
Trauma-informed therapy can help you to understand what is really going on for you.
Yes, you really can thrive after trauma.
Whatever you are currently going through, however you are feeling, it really does matter.
