Hi! I’m Rhiannon, and I work with folks wanting to understands how early experiences shape the way we move through the world. You might be a person who's spent years prioritising everyone else's needs while yours are unmet. Perhaps you struggle to trust your judgment, constantly scan for signs that you've done something wrong, or find it hard to stay close with people. This might show up as body tension, disconnection, or a knot in your stomach when conflict arises.
I work with you to rebuild trust in yourself, your body, and your relationships. Through embodied practices, EMDR, attachment focus and a sprinkle of practical strategies, you'll be able to recognise safety, process memories, and live more authentically in your live.
There’s no perfect way or perfect time to reach out. So you're welcome just as you are and we can work out what’s next, together.

I help people who've learnt to prioritise everyone else, struggle with boundaries, or find intimacy both wanted and terrifying. Through embodied EMDR, I'll help you recognise safety and explore new relational patterns. You can expect a space that honours your whole self - sensory needs included - without judgment or expectation.
