Hi I’m Louise, I help people feel safe to express & release their stuck emotions by using a gentle somatic approach to trauma therapy so that they are free to be their true selves in the world. I'm a specialist in working with anxiety, panic & symptoms of trauma. Trauma can be any stressful life event where we feel hopeless or overwhelmed. It may leave you feeling; jumpy or easily startled, experience flashbacks, nightmares or physical symptoms. You may not remember anything about it, feel disconnected from your body or numb. If it's exhausting just getting through the day or you want to stop certain coping mechanisms, reach out.
We don’t just THINK anxiety, depression or symptoms of trauma, we FEEL them. Our emotions override our logic every time. This is why we can’t THINK our way out, we need to work at a nervous system level, where it’s held in our bodies. To achieve somatic healing I use a ‘bottom up’ approach, working with body sensations, breath-work & visualisations.
Healing from trauma is not only possible but transformative. I integrate my original person centred &psychodynamic training with modern trauma informed approaches. I use the Comprehensive Resource model (CRM) and am SE, IFS & DBR informed. Please do contact me to set up a free 15min consultation to find out more and see if I am the right therapist for you.
