Most clients contact us with surface negative symptoms or challenges. Every client is totally unique, therefore our truly one-off, made-to-measure approach is needed and always provided. Most clients help us to slowly identify the real current trigger(s), creating the negative presenting symptoms or challenges. Finally, our last step in helping you gain a positive, confident and happier future, is to discover your deepest root causes, which created the very first trigger(s). To put it simply, our driving force from day one is to help you quickly ensure you gain much improved: thinking, feeling and behaviour.

If you’re struggling with the impact of sexual or domestic violence, you may feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Trauma can manifest in many ways—difficulty trusting others, emotional numbness, feeling constantly on edge, or struggling with self-worth. These are not signs of weakness; they are your mind and body’s way of trying to protect you. Healing from trauma isn’t just about talking—it’s about reconnecting with yourself. I integrate somatic approaches that focus on the connection between your body and mind, helping you release stored trauma and develop a sense of safety within yourself.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or low? Self doubts, self criticisms, worries your norm? Bit (lot?) of a perfectionist/procrastinator/people pleaser. Maybe you're leaning on those unhealthy coping strategies like overworking all too often. You might have relationship difficulties such as trust issues or taking rejection hard. You may feel like you’re treading on eggshells, questioning "is it me or is it them?" Wondering if the past has affected you or you might be unsure- it wasn't that bad surely? Want to know why you feel like this and how to find peace and contentment without feeling that the past is holding you back?
