It's time to come home to yourself

Book your free clarity call

Some stories are stored, not spoken

Maybe it was a clear, defining moment that changed everything for you, a betrayal, a profound loss, or something else that shattered your world, dividing life into 'before' and 'after'.


Maybe it wasn't one moment at all. Maybe it was a quiet, slow build; years of feeling unseen, unheard, your needs overlooked, manipulated until you lost sight of who you once were and that emptiness became your normal.

Even subtle shifts in life can stir up old patterns; waves of self-doubt, anxiety you can’t explain, a familiar heaviness that lingers in the background

 

You might not call it trauma, but your body remembers.

Now it's time to release what's been held for too long. It's time to come home to yourself.


It's time to start living your life.

Discover your deep healing

Whatever the shape or story, however long ago it was, emotional pain leaves an imprint. It can show up in our body, our thoughts, our relationships, or simply in the way we move through the world. 


Trauma therapy isn’t about fixing you; you are not broken. This is about deep healing, going beyond words, meeting the parts of you that haven't been given the space to be heard, felt, or witnessed, so that they have the chance to release what they are holding.

You deserve a life that feels whole.


Whether you’re recovering from a relationship that left you questioning your worth, be it with a partner, parent, family member, friend, or someone else close to you, or you’re navigating the impact of a painful life event, or simply carrying a deep, unshakable sense that life could feel better than this… you’re not alone.


Unlock deep, lasting change

With over 19 years experience as a qualified therapist, including 10 years as a Senior Counsellor in the NHS, specialising in Counselling for Depression, I now specialise in online trauma therapy throughout the UK. At the heart of my practice is Brainspotting - a cutting-edge, body-brain based therapy that gently and effectively targets the root of your experiences, not just the symptoms. 


Brainspotting is a focused mindfulness approach specifically designed to naturally access, process and release unresolved emotional energy that is stored in our brain and body after we have endured emotionally intense experiences. Left unresolved, these emotional charges can be triggered, even if we don't consciously recall the original event, and our brain and body reacts as if the past is the present. This isn't weakness, this is how trauma and emotions are stored in the nervous system.


Healing through Brainspotting allows us to reprocess these distressing experiences so we can release ourselves from the grip of chronic self-doubt, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or PTSD-like symptoms, and increase our capacity to be more present and experience more meaning and joy in our lives.

You’re not broken—you’re at a turning point.

People seek therapy at different times for different reasons. 


For many, emotional overwhelm or burnout feels like the breaking point, not just burnout from work, but from years of holding everything together. Unresolved stress, unspoken trauma, and a lifetime of pushing past limits catches up.


Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out can feel like a personal failure, but it’s not. It’s a signal of misalignment and an invitation for care, attention and for a return to what's true.


It's the beginning of healing, of reconnection.


We’ll gently listen to what your body has held for too long. We’ll untangle the perfectionism, the people-pleasing, the grief and fear beneath the surface, not to relive it, but to release it, so you can have the opportunity to finally rest and feel safe to just be yourself.


Trauma therapy can help you create a life more aligned with who you truly are.



Take the next step

Reclaim your life

"Trauma is not what happens to you, trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you".  


~ Gabor Mate



It is likely that we will all experience trauma of some kind in our lives; we can't avoid experiencing emotional pain, but we can reduce our suffering by choosing how we respond to it, and we do not have to do it alone.  


You’re welcome to book a free 20-minute consultation to see if this feels like the right fit. We’ll talk, no pressure; just a quiet space to ask questions and get a feel for how we might work together.


You deserve to heal.

Your experiences

I work well with individuals who...

  • "Are ready for a deeper healing. May have tried other therapies previously, but didn't find it was enough to make a sustainable difference.


  • Are caught up in frustrating cycles, like self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination, self-criticism...


  • Feel stuck, anxious and on edge or numb, fatigued and disconnected. 


  • Might be walking on eggshells around someone in their life, seeking narcissistic abuse recovery, or simply feel lost, like a shadow of their former self.


  • May feel unseen, unheard, and that they are not enough.


  • May have a tendency to just carry on pushing through, quietly, on their own.


  • May have experienced painful, confusing relationships, and struggle to make sense of them.


  • Feel that their past experiences could still be negatively impacting their lives.


  • Might be quiet, high achievers; outwardly successful, showing up for everyone else, while quietly wondering when it will feel safe to show up for themselves.


  • Are creative, curious, and want to understand themselves on a deeper level.


  • Have a sense that painful experiences don't just stay in our thoughts, they are something we also feel in our body, our emotions, our spirit.


  • Want more than just “getting by”, they long to feel more joy, meaning, and authentic, aligned connection in their lives.


  • Are open to exploring their body-mind connection so they can feel more whole, more like themselves again.




If you're unsure if now is the right time for you, perhaps ask yourself, 


"What will it cost me to stay where I am?"


What was your instinctive response?
