Release what's really keeping you feeling stuck and fearful
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a transformative body-mind therapy that promotes deep healing, emotional balance, and a more regulated nervous system.
By releasing stored tension, it can also improve energy levels and sleep.
This therapy is beneficial not only for personal healing but also for enhancing professional performance.
Even if we don't consciously remember traumatic experiences, our nervous system and body do.
Our subconscious brain reacts faster than our conscious mind, often causing unnecessary stress and confusion in daily life.
- Brainspotting works by reducing nervous system activation and physical tension stored in the body’s fascia, which can manifest as anxiety, depression, pain, and negative self-beliefs.
- By tapping into the brain’s natural ability to self-scan and heal, this therapy offers a deeper release and trauma integration that traditional talk therapies often can't provide.
Where you look affects how you feel
I help you to decide what you'd like to work on, we find an appropriate focus point for you in your field of version, and then your mindful processing begins.
I guide you through this process, as much or as little as you need.
* Bilateral music can be played through earphones during sessions, this is not essential but I do highly recommend it to enhance your experience
* If you have a medical condition that could be impacted by listening to bilateral music, or you are unsure, please check with your healthcare provider first.

Featured Story
*Sarah's Story ~ No Longer Feeling stuck!
Before...
Sarah sat in the quiet of her living room, the weight of the past few years pressing on her chest like heavy stone.
It wasn't one specific event, or one trauma that had brought her to this point, it was a string of deeply impacting moments over the years, a bereavement, a broken relationship, difficult family dynamics, and an overwhelming sense of being stuck, of not knowing how to move forward.
She wasn't quite sure how to articulate why she was looking for support, she felt like she just needed some help to manage life - that in itself had left her feeling not good enough.
She'd tried talking to friends and family, and she'd already had some counselling sessions.
Each time she talked she felt a little lighter, validated, but the relief was always temporary. The anxiety would creep back in, certain memories would resurface and that familiar feeling of helplessness would settle back in, like an unwelcome visitor.
It was like trying to move through quicksand, sometimes treacle! - each attempt to pull herself up only seemed to end up dragging her further down.
She felt like she was failing somehow, that she should just focus on being grateful for the positives in her life.
Deep inside, Sarah longed for real change, for lasting peace. She wanted more than just a temporary sticking plaster for her invisible wounds.
What she truly needed was a way to finally untangle herself from the past, to break free from the endless cycle of anxiety and self-doubt and feel like she was moving forwards.
After...
After years of feeling stuck, Sarah finally experienced the breakthrough she had been searching for.
Through her body-mind sessions, she learned to release the deep emotional and physical tension that had kept her trapped in the cycle of anxiety and helplessness.
For the first time in years , she could breathe without the constant weight pressing on her chest.
The experiences of the past no longer overwhelmed her and she began to feel a sense of control over her life again.
Sarah's body felt lighter, her mind clearer, her sleep better and her energy, previously zapped by worry, returned.
She had the tools to compassionately manage the parts of her that had been holding her back, and she now looked forward to her future, with hope.
