Trauma recovery isn’t just about understanding what happened - it’s about helping your body feel safe again.
If talk therapy hasn’t worked for you in the past, it might be because your nervous system needs more than insight. My approach is trauma-informed, body-aware, and grounded in evidence.
If this resonates, l offer a free initial consultation to explore how we can work together - no pressure, just a conversation.

What if the traits you’ve always seen as flaws... were actually survival strategies?
People-pleasing, perfectionism, shutting down — these are often not “just who you are.”
They’re adaptations your nervous system made to keep you safe in environments where safety wasn’t guaranteed.
• People-pleasing can be a fawn response - a way to prevent conflict or avoid abandonment.
• Perfectionism often stems from hypervigilance - scanning for danger, making everything “just right” to stay in control.
• Shutting down is usually a freeze response
— your body’s way of protecting you when escape didn’t feel possible.
These aren’t character flaws. They’re signs your system was doing its best to survive overwhelming situations.
The work isn’t to shame or “fix” these parts of you — it’s to meet them with understanding and gently show your body that it’s safe now.
You’re not broken. You’re adapted. And healing is possible. Want to know how? Then DM or comment consultation to have a free chat about how my clinic can support you.

Trauma is not always about what you remember — it’s what your body remembers. And as I always say - your body holds onto so much information.
You may not have a clear narrative of what happened to you, but you may feel it in the tight jaw, the racing heart, the freezing response.
That’s because trauma is stored in the nervous system, not just the brain.
Somatic work, EMDR, and body-based therapy help bring those implicit memories into a space where they can be processed and released.
So if your body has been holding onto the trauma and you want to start releasing it then take this as your sign to get in touch. Healing starts now. Comment consultation or DM for a link to book a free initial chat.
