Trauma is not always obvious, and midlife can often be a particularly vulnerable time for unresolved trauma to resurface.
"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. Deeply impacting life experiences that can negatively change how we see ourselves, and others.
When left unresolved, trauma can manifest as chronic stress, perfectionism and self-doubt, affecting our decision-making, how we handle challenges and embrace opportunities, while also stifling our creativity.
Stuck trauma can also lead to over-working, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and 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. Feelings of shame and insecurity limit our beliefs and dysregulate our nervous system.
Your life...
If you're unsure whether or not unresolved trauma could be impacting your day-to-life, personally or professionally, take a look through this tick list to see if anything resonates with you:
✅ Are you feeling stuck, lost or unfulfilled?
✅️ Are you successful and ambitious but struggle with self-belief?
✅️ Do you constantly keep yourself busy, not making time to connect with 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?
✅️ Are you avoiding places, people, cancelling plans and engagements?
✅️ Do you experience frequent nightmares or recurring dreams?
✅ Do you feel like you're not enough or that you don't matter?
✅️ Are you feeling numb or empty, low in energy or disconnected from who you feel you used to be?
✅ Have you experienced narcissistic abuse or relational trauma?
✅️ Have you been exposed to a deeply impacting event or life experience that you just can't seem to move on from?
✅ Are you struggling with brain fog, chronic illness or physical pain that you feel could be attributed to emotional trauma?
✅️ Do you struggle with identifying or implementing personal boundaries?
✅️ Do you lack a sense of purpose or struggle to find joy in your life?
✅ Are you overly self-critical or a perfectionist?
✅️ Do you continually put the needs of others first and neglect your own?
✅️ Are you empathic and intuitive, stuck in a career or relationship that you know, deep down in your soul, isn't healthy or doesn’t fulfil you?
If you've answered 'Yes' to even just ONE of the above, my body-mind sessions could be transformational for you.
"Brainspotting made a massive difference to my counselling experience and took it to a completely different level"
What is feeling stuck really costing you in your life?
If you're fed up of feeling empty or numb, seeing others happy or succeeding, while you feel stuck in procrastination, anxiously making lists and plans but too paralysed by self-doubt to take action, you are very likely disconnected from who you truly are.
Unlock your healing
If it's time to stop living a groundhog day, dimming your light for others, playing it small, or stuck at a crossroads, feeling paralysed by anxiety, self-doubt or a lack of energy or motivation, my powerful body-mind sessions really could be transformational for you.
Talking therapy alone will not heal trauma
Fear is physical and we need to work somatically to release the stress, trauma, and limiting beliefs our bodies hold from past experiences.
To support this deep, sustainable healing, I blend effective, evidence-based, science backed modalities, including Polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Neuroscience and Mindfulness principles.
You can release yourself from feeling:
Can you afford to stay stuck for another 12 months?
"... I felt listened to, heard and deeply understood, which I have not had much experience of in my life. I have found this experience very validating and confidence building...
...Our sessions have been life transforming for me, I feel like I have fast tracked out of many years living in a painful freeze state, not knowing how to move, where to move or what or who to trust..."

Eckhart Tolle
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.
My compassionate and deeply validating approach can help you address anxiety, depression, grief, loss and unresolved trauma.
My particular expertise is supporting the healing of the deep wounds of narcissistic abuse, no matter how long ago your experiences may have been.
As a survivor of this insidious abuse myself, I’m deeply passionate about helping others find the same freedom and fulfilment from this trauma.
No matter how many years down the line you are, healing is possible, and you are worthy of living fully, authentically, and joyfully.
Releasing anxiety and self-doubt
My practice tends to attract women in midlife, often successful and professional, with an inner wisdom guiding them to recognise the true value of investing in themselves after experiencing shifts in their emotional balance.
Releasing anxiety and self-doubt and healing unresolved trauma can strengthen our inner resources, develop our coping strategies and improve our relationships, in both our personal and professional worlds.
