I am an integrative therapist in sessions we talk about what you are feeling in combination with tuning into where and how the emotional dysregulation is manifesting physically. I incorporate gentle exercises specifically designed to release anxieties grip, held within the autonomic nervous system, deepening your connection to self. These exercises involve gentle movements, breathing techniques and information about the body-mind connection. By creating a sense of safety in the body it reduces anxiety widening the capacity to process trauma, which comes in many forms

Somatic therapy - somatic means of the body - which looks at how the body is holding and showing anxiety and stress. Our body's autonomic nervous systems respond to the world around us and our personal experience within it by judging safety and threat. In times of anxiety we can become stuck in a "fight/flight, or freeze /flop" state.

I am an experienced practitioner work with coping with loss, managing anxiety, self exploration in neurodivergence pre and post diagnosis, understanding sensory processing, improving self esteem, managing This is not an exhaustive list as we all experience life differently. I offer a space to working collaboratively where the sessions structure around you
