Trauma lives in the body and the nervous system. This is why, even when an experience is in the past or when worries are about the future, it can feel as though the threat is ongoing and present. In these moments, insight alone often isn’t accessible, and attempts to rationalise are futile.

​

In my work, I use sensory and neuroscience-based, trauma-focused psychotherapy approaches to support clients in processing and healing from experiences that feel heavy, overwhelming, distressing, or hard to move past. Rather than pushing for analysis, these approaches work directly to stabilise and regulate the nervous system, which naturally creates the conditions for healing.

​

These approaches generally are:

• Gentle. Supports the nervous system to settle and make sense of what has been stuck.

• Content-light/free. There is no need to go into painful detail, reducing the risk of re-traumatisation.

• An efficient short course of treatment in providing substantial relief and improves function. Clients feel calmer, clearer, and more able to move forward in their lives.​​
