Trauma Recovery

Finding Steadiness After What Shook You

Trauma can leave us feeling disconnected, from ourselves, our bodies, and the world around us. Whether your experience was recent or something you’ve carried silently for years, the impact is real. You may be functioning day-to-day, but inside you feel stuck, anxious, or constantly on edge. Therapy can offer a gentle space to begin making sense of your story, and to reclaim the parts of you that were never broken.

“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you.” — Gabor Maté

Talking therapy to support trauma recovery

Common Experiences I Hear From Clients

  • “I can’t trust people — even when I want to.”
  • “I feel numb, disconnected, or like I’m just going through the motions.”
  • “Something small can trigger a big emotional reaction.”
  • “I struggle with boundaries or feel responsible for everyone else.”
  • “I’m tired of surviving — I want to live.”
  • “I don’t remember much from my childhood, but I know it still affects me.”

How I Can Help

I work with you at your pace, helping to create a sense of safety in the therapy space, and over time, within yourself. I use a blend of counselling, parts work, and hypnotherapy where appropriate, to support deep healing. My approach is relational, grounded, and trauma-informed. Together, we’ll gently explore what you’ve been carrying, and help you find steadier ground, emotionally and physically.

Whether you’ve experienced childhood trauma, relational abuse, or events that left you feeling powerless or unseen, we’ll work to restore your sense of agency, trust, and self-worth, without rushing or retraumatising.
