Chartered Counselling Psychologist

Healing from trauma is possible. It's a collaborative step by step process. My approach will guide you through key steps of the recovery journey to help you move from surviving to truly thriving. These steps include:

  • Being more aware of your brain and thinking patterns
  • Connecting with the younger, wounded parts of you in your subconscious brain
  • Processing and releasing the wounds these younger parts carry from past timelines
  • Integrating these wounds into your adult self
  • Manifesting what you and your younger parts truly want from this lifetime

Brain Health and Nervous System Regulation

There is a direct relationship between brain health and nervous system regulation. Trauma disrupts nervous system regulation pushing it out of connection and into traumatic dysregulation.

Childhood Wounding

Adverse experiences in early childhood undermine an individual’s sense of identity, sense of safety and sense of self-worth. It can also profoundly impact the quality of a person’s relational attachment style in later life. Types of inner child wounding which can show up later in relationships:

  • Guilt wounding ; being afraid to set healthy boundaries
  • Trust wounding ; feeling insecure and needing to seek a lot of external validation from others
  • Abandonment wounding ; fear of being alone
  • Neglect wounding ; having difficulty being vulnerable in relationships
