Healing is about releasing, not remembering
Our inner blocks can limit us both personally and professionally, holding us back from connecting to who we truly are, keeping us stuck in unhealthy relationships and preventing us from reaching our full potential.
From childhood trauma to deeply impacting experiences in adulthood, our unseen wounds can go deep, dysregulating our nervous system, leaving us feeling stuck, anxious and disconnected, overthinking and powerfully changing our perception of ourselves.
Midlife is often a time when unresolved pain can resurface, leaving us feeling less resilient and overwhelmed. We may find that we still need to process the shock and fear of sudden bereavement or serious health diagnosis, ease the heavy weight of chronic illness, or find relief from the painful, invisible wounds of divorce, betrayal or abuse.
You don't have to label your experiences as trauma in order to benefit from body-mind sessions.
No matter what has happened to you, or when it happened to you, you really do deserve to be living a more meaningful and joy-filled life.
Find your deep healing, without spending years in therapy
Healing begins with a safe space where your story is honoured and your feelings are understood and met with compassion.
Underpinned by my specialist trainings, my body-mind sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy and offer you the opportunity to find your freedom, improve your relationship with the different parts of yourself, and start living your life on your terms:

Your experiences
When we are struggling, it can feel like we're fighting an invisible battle every day.
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, the weight we carry just feels unshakable. What we may not realise is that unresolved trauma can silently shape our emotions, behaviours and sense of self.
Take a look through this tick list to see if anything resonates with you - take your time and trust your gut feeling as a response to each one:
✅ Have you ever experienced narcissistic abuse, relational or betrayal trauma?
✅ Are you feeling stuck, lost or unfulfilled?
✅️ Do you struggle with self-belief or feel like an imposter, even if you are ambitious or outwardly successful?
✅️ Do you constantly keep yourself busy, throwing yourself into work or mindlessly scrolling on social media or watching TV, avoiding how you truly feel?
✅ Are you procrastinating or holding yourself back from pursuing what truly matters to you?
✅ Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stressed, maybe experiencing a feeling of dread in the mornings, tummy upsets or a familiar knotted feeling in your stomach?
✅️ Are you avoiding places, people, cancelling plans and engagements?
✅️ Do you struggle with sleep or experience frequent nightmares or recurring dreams?
✅ Do you feel like you're a failure, you're not enough or that you don't matter?
✅️ Are you feeling numb or empty, low in energy, disconnected from others or who you feel you used to be?
✅️ Have you been exposed to a deeply impacting or frightening life experience that you just can't seem to move on from?
✅ Are you struggling with brain fog, fatigue, chronic illness, digestive issues or physical pain that you feel could be linked to unresolved trauma?
✅️ Do you struggle with identifying or implementing personal boundaries, avoiding conflict, always doing everything for everyone else, but never really making time for yourself?
✅️ Do you lack a sense of purpose or struggle to find joy in your life?
✅ Are you overly self-critical or suffer with perfectionism?
✅️ Do you feel angry, snappy or irritable very quickly, often over seemingly little things?
✅ Do you recognise self-sabotaging behaviours, such as pushing people away, avoiding intimacy, over-eating or under-eating etc?
✅️ Are you stuck in a career, job or relationship that you know deep down in your soul, isn't healthy or doesn’t fulfil you?
✅️ Do you feel that you are living with symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress or Complex Post Traumatic Stress?
If you've answered 'Yes' to even just ONE of the above, my body-mind sessions could be transformational for you.
We will ALL experience trauma
"Trauma is not what happens to you; it is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you..."
~ Gabor Maté
We will ALL experience trauma in our lives, and our unseen wounds can manifest as:
- Chronic stress
- Perfectionism
- Self-doubt
- Decision-making difficulties
- Procrastination
- Stifled creativity
- Over-working
- People-pleasing
- Difficulty setting boundaries
- Eventual burnout
Despite outward appearances of confidence and success, we can be overly self-critical and silently suffering inside. We may be pushing ourselves to meet our own unrelenting standards, suppressing our emotional needs and consequently feeling that we don't matter, or are not good enough.
Fear is our biggest emotional block to living the life we hope for.
1:1 sessions are limited in my practice, so contact me today it it feels like the right time for you to heal your unseen wounds.
What's really holding you back?
Your story matters, and talking can often be an important part of our healing process, but on its own, traditional talking therapy is less effective and it can often take a very long time for significant progress to be made.
" Traumatic events are almost impossible to put into words"
~ Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk
To support your deeper, nervous system focused healing, I integrate effective, science backed modalities, including Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Focusing, Neuroscience and Mindfulness principles.
You can release yourself from feeling:
- Overwhelmed and stressed
- Stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns
- Trapped by self-limiting beliefs
- Held back by self-sabotaging behaviours
- Stifled and burning-out professionally
- Imprisoned by expectations
Unlock your healing
If it's time to stop living a groundhog day, dimming your light for others, playing it small, or staying stuck at a crossroads, feeling overwhelmed or anxious, my powerful body-mind sessions really could be liberating for you.
Trauma-Informed therapist and coach
Hi, I'm Sharon
As a Registered and Accredited BACP Therapeutic Counsellor and an ICF Certified Somatic Trauma Informed Coach, my powerfully blended approach as a Therapeutic Coach bridges the gap between trauma recovery and living a more joyful, meaningful life.

Unlock your true purpose
There are defining moments in life that feel like a crossroads, an opportunity to take action and make a change.
- What is it that you would like to be different in your life in 12 months time?
- Now imagine that you have created that future. Each day of your life is precious.
- Take a moment to imagine what it is like now that you are living in your own story, not someone else's.
- Your days reflect who you really are and what truly lights you up.
- You feel comfortable in your own skin.
- You feel more energised and engaged in your purposeful work, passionate about making a positive difference to those around you.
- You feel more calm and have what you need to navigate life's inevitable bumpy roads and choppy waters.
No life is perfect, but when we process our unresolved experiences at a nervous system level, we really can live our best life.
What will it cost you to stay where you are?
Reduce your stress levels
When we experience long-term stress, high levels of cortisol in our bodies leads to inflammation, and we can become susceptible to a whole range of problems, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Digestive issues
- Autoimmune conditions
- Heart disease
- Sleep problems
- Fatigue
- Weight gain... and more
My body-mind sessions can help you with finding better nervous system regulation, helping to reduce cortisol levels and ultimately releasing you from a place of inner-conflict.
Can you afford not to?
Resolve inner conflict
Improve your relationship with yourself.
Do you wish there were parts of yourself that you just didn't have?
- The worrier
- The inner critic
- The people-pleaser
- The perfectionist
- The emotional eater
- The procrastinator... and more
There really is a way to find relief from these constant inner conflicts and live with more inner peace and calm.
- Make space to reignite your dreams, you are worthy of a wonderful things!
