Healing From Trauma

Gentle, evidence-based support for your journey

You don't have to carry this alone

If something in you feels stuck, or overwhelmed, know that you are not broken. You are human. You may be carrying pain from the past that your body and mind have not had the chance to fully process. That is not a weakness; it is wisdom. It means your system has been working hard to protect you. And now, maybe you are ready to begin healing.

What Trauma Really Is

Trauma is not defined only by the events you have lived through. It is about how those experiences impacted your sense of safety, connection, and control. It can come from a single overwhelming event, or from things that happened again and again over time.


What we now know through neuroscience, psychology, and thousands of lived stories, is that trauma changes the way your brain and body respond to the world. But we also know this: healing is possible. The brain is adaptable. The body wants to come back into balance. And with the right kind of support, it can.

How Trauma Might Be Showing Up in Your Life

  • You feel anxious or on edge, even when things seem fine

  • You shut down, go numb, or feel disconnected from yourself

  • You avoid certain people, places, or memories

  • You have trouble sleeping, focusing, or feeling present

  • You carry guilt or shame that doesn’t seem to belong to you

​​

These are not flaws. They are protective responses that help you survive. And now, they may be asking for gentle attention.
 

A Healing Approach That Honours You

​I believe healing happens in relationships, in a space where you feel safe, seen, and never rushed. My approach is both warm and evidence-based.

 

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Hypnotherapy 

  • Psychodynamic 

  • Schema Therapy 

  • Other evidence-based therapies 


We’ll work together to reconnect you with your strengths, your body’s wisdom, and your capacity for joy and calm. Always at your pace. Always with care.
 

When You're Ready, I'm Here

​There’s no right timeline for healing. Whether you’re just starting to explore or already deep into your journey, I would be honoured to walk beside you.
