Trauma-informed Therapist and Accredited CBT counsellor, trained in Somatic Trauma Therapy. I offer an integrative approach that is tailored to your individual needs.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to understand and shift unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, Somatic Trauma Therapy (STT) builds a sense of safety through present-moment body awareness. This combination can help you feel more aware of what is holding you back and can create space for changes you want to make.
Having worked for many years developing and delivering personal development training, I also offer small group workshops for those interested in finding out more about using practical CBT and STT tools to support peronal wellbeing.
I work with adults who feel affected by anxiety, stress, or past experiences, and who want support that is both practical and body-aware. Some people come with a clear issue they want to change; others are less sure but are aware of difficulties impacting daily life.
If you’re unsure whether this is the right fit, we can talk through what’s been going on and agree a pace and approach that feels safe and supportive for you.
You don’t have to choose between “talking therapy” and “body-based” work. Depending on your needs, sessions may focus more on one area while staying connected to the whole picture.
Somatic Trauma Therapy brings curiosity and attention to sensations in the body. Being guided to focus on these sensations may lead to a sense of release. Rather than re-living the past, we work with present-moment sensations to build safety, stability, and resilience.
CBT is a practical, evidence-based talking therapy that helps you understand how thoughts, feelings, sensations and behaviours interact. Together we identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create realistic steps towards change—at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
If therapy is not your preferred option you may be interested in small group workshops. Workshops are designed to help participants explore the connection between thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and patterns of behaviour in a safe, paced environment.
