Somatic Trauma Informed
Specialising in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery and Counselling for Depression, I offer compassionate, somatic trauma-informed therapy to help you increase self-worth and live a more joyful, connected life.
Understand what your experiences have meant for you, redefine your narrative and unlock your power to heal...
Do any of the following resonate with you?
Do you identify as an Empath or a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), feel things deeply and find yourself struggling as a result?
Do you find yourself constantly people-pleasing, apologising for things that aren't your fault, struggling with perfectionism, procrastination or self-criticism?
Do you feel haunted by past experiences or relationships?
Does the version of yourself you used to recognise, or would like to recognise, feel lost somehow, locked away or out of reach?
Do you feel like a ghost in your own life?
Despite outward appearances, we can be silently suffering and feel that we are a failure or 'not enough'.
This is simply not true.
When we are triggered in this way, we are actually experiencing an invisible wound and recognising this can be our opportunity to heal.
You are already enough!
If you'd like warm, non-judgemental support to help you to heal your unseen wounds and stop self-sabotaging, I'd really love to help you.

Trauma, derived from the Greek word for 'wound', is not just about what happened to us.
Trauma is something that happens inside of us because of the events we were exposed to.
It affects us body, mind and soul and can affect anyone.
You may have experienced a one-off traumatic event or a series of events in adulthood or childhood.
We will all respond differently to experiences, click here to see some examples of events that may cause us psychological trauma.
Left unhealed, our unseen wounds can affect our lives in many ways, including our beliefs about ourselves, the relationships we end up in, our work, parenting and even our physical health.
We can attend to all of these aspects of our life when we gently attend to our wounds on a somatic, nervous system level.
Understanding more about the different parts of ourselves, our nervous system responses and how to regulate and find balance, can be transformational.
You deserve to feel safe enough to be seen and heard.
Narcissistic Abuse is trauma and Complex PTSD is often experienced with such abuse.
We will likely be left feeling disconnected from ourselves, anxious, depressed, lost and powerless.
We may even ask ourselves if we are a narcissist?
Losing our sense of identity has powerful repercussions.
Our emotional wounds may not be visible, but the silent pain we suffer as a result of these is very real.
Your experiences DO NOT define you as a person and when it is safe to do so, we can reconnect to our true selves.
There will be a grieving process with the ending of any relationship, but with the ending of an abusive relationship, this process can be more complicated, more intense and all-consuming.
The pull to return to an abusive relationship can be very powerful.
If you have experienced such abuse from a parent, it may feel further complicated still.
My experiential approach helps you to understand what has happened to you on a nervous system level and supports your healing through being WITH your experiences, not IN them.
You absolutely deserve to heal
What happened to you was not your fault.
There can be a particularly painful loneliness that comes with not feeling understood, seen or heard, especially by those closest to us.
Recognising how you have courageously and creatively navigated your way through life gives you the opportunity to improve the relationship you have with yourself...and ultimately improve other areas of your life too.
We really can unlock our power to move from self-critical to self-compassionate ~ an unfamiliar place to many of us if we have experienced trauma.
You are allowed to be who you really are, not who you feel you should be
Healing will mean different things to different people.
What does healing mean to you?
We can't change what has already happened, but when we are intentional with our personal healing, we can change the pain and experiences associated with the memories.
It may not feel like it right now, but you have the power to live a better quality of life.
The intergenerational impact of your intentional healing means that you not only heal yourself when you become a pattern breaker, you heal future generations too!
