Trauma stories were created in the past, when the mind tried to make meaning from experiences that felt scary, unsafe or out of our control.
Together, we could get to know the Parts of your system that actively protect you from what they fear. Perhaps there's a critic, a perfectionist, a people pleaser. We could learn about the core wounds their stories are written from. With this awareness, we could process burdeons your Parts hold, and create space for your adult Self to lead your system.

I have experience working with families and children on a variety of issues including trauma, early development areas, disability and adoption.
If you’ve been touched by adoption or foster care, you might carry questions about identity, belonging, or how your past continues to shape your present. You may long to feel more at peace with your story, to find words for experiences that feel complex or hard to share, or to simply be seen and understood without judgment.
As someone with lived experience of adoption, I deeply understand that these journeys are layered often filled with both love and loss, connection and challenge. Together, you can explore your feelings, discover new perspectives, and move toward a way of living that feels right for you.

My practice focuses on helping people gain greater insight and overcome challenges in two main areas: I work with young people and adults who have experienced complex developmental trauma/family dysfunction and with young people and adults requiring psychoeducational and/or behavioural assessment.
Complex trauma leads to challenges engaging in healthy relationships of all types. It can affect our sense of self, limit identity formation and lead us to feel lost. It can present as anxiety, depression, PTSD, learning difficulties, and harmful coping behaviours. I'll help you understand complex trauma, its effects and how to navigate your way out.

Hi! I’m Rhiannon, and I work with folks wanting to understands how early experiences shape the way we move through the world.

Any of these experience could show up as body tension, disconnection, or that familiar knot in your stomach when conflict arises.

This perspective sheds light on the parts of you which are resilient, having endured life's challenges, as well as parts that feel burdened by stress, trauma or shame.
Every person I work with is treated with dignity, respect and compassion.

I believe that everybody, no matter how complex or challenging their situation, circumstances or life experiences, when provided the right support has within themselves vast resources for self-understanding and resilience.
