Trauma and PTSD are symptoms experiences due to an event or a series of events. Somatic therapy will guide and support the process of discharging the trauma from the body so that it doesn't affect one's present behavior any longer. It is not a life sentence.

As above, I am experienced in working with clients who have experienced different kinds of trauma, including complex trauma over a period of time. I work both long and short term, depending on your needs. If seeking help to work with your trauma feels scary, please be assured that the feeling of safety is paramount for me, and we will work together to establish this and approach the work you want to do at a speed that suits you - you are in control.
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
While the effects of PTSD can be debilitating and distressing, recovery from it is possible (yes, it really is), and I'm here for you if you'd like support in that journey. I undertake trauma training regularly as part of my continuing professional development and can facilitate using creative mediums alongside talking - including art. I regard safety as all-important, and I'll work to establish a safe and trusting relationship with you. Traumatic birth, sudden and unexpected bereavement - including baby loss, and sexual or domestic abuse are some of the underlying traumas I can support you with. I can offer a compassionate, non-judgmental and understanding approach and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. If you'd like to explore counselling together, please get in touch with me to arrange a low-cost consultation.
