Trauma Recovery
Guiding you to process and heal the past while staying safe
You may have arrived here because…
You’ve had one or several difficult experiences, either as an adult or as a child. And these have affected how you function now.
You struggle to control your emotions e.g. you might often feel anxious and on-guard or numb and hopeless.
You may have tried other types of therapy and found they didn’t work for you.
Perhaps you’ve developed self-defeating behaviours e.g. overeating or excessive working.
Whatever your reason for being here, I’m glad that you found me. Please read on for more detail.
Trauma can happen when you have difficult life experiences.
Sometimes life brings experiences that are just too much for us to handle. In those moments, you might feel powerless – with little control over what happened or how you responded. You might notice yourself replaying parts of the experience or feeling stuck, as if you can’t move on from it.
Trauma can come from a single event, like an accident, assault, or birth trauma, or from ongoing experiences where you felt unsafe – such as a controlling relationship, or bullying.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people experience post-traumatic stress, even without a PTSD diagnosis.
Difficult childhood experiences – like growing up with a parent who was critical or unpredictable – can also lead to trauma – shaping how you see yourself, how you behave in relationships, and your sense of safety as an adult.
We all have the capacity to heal.
Just because past experiences can’t be changed, it doesn’t mean you can’t move beyond them. My aim is to support you in healing painful experiences — so they no longer shape your life today.
With my trauma therapy we work to put these memories in the past, where they belong. I use EMDR therapy to gently and safely guide your mind, body and emotions through the process of healing and integration.
EMDR can be adapted for many types of trauma, and I always tailor the therapy to suit your unique story, needs, and pace.
Alongside EMDR, I draw from a range of approaches — including attachment work, parts therapy, somatic therapy, and inner child therapy — to support you as a whole person, not just the parts that have been hurt.
My experiences working with trauma
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting many people through their healing. I’ve seen incredible changes unfold – watching clients reconnect with themselves and begin to live with more peace and confidence is deeply rewarding.
Before becoming a therapist, it took time for me to understand and make sense of my own story. Through my own therapy, I learned to come to terms with the past and build a stronger sense of self.
I’ve seen how powerful it can be when someone realises they were never to blame, and begins to believe they deserve better relationships and a kinder relationship with themselves.
