You get through most days
Here, counselling looks at what’s underneath all that getting through, at a pace your nervous system can actually hold.
Counselling built for how trauma really shows up
Most trauma doesn’t sit neatly in memory or language. It lives in the nervous system, in patterns of shutdown, hypervigilance, dissociation, people-pleasing, and difficulty with intimacy or boundaries.
That’s why talking alone often isn’t enough.
Our approach to counselling focuses on the parts of you that learned to survive early, the younger, protective parts that are still doing their job, even when it no longer fits your adult life. Together, we work with these parts gently and directly, so they no longer need to run the present.
This approach is especially supportive for people who:
– Have tried therapy before and still feel stuck
– Live with the impacts of childhood trauma, sexual trauma, or complex PTSD
– Struggle with intimacy, sex, or feeling safe in their body
– Feel overwhelmed, numb, or constantly on edge.
Sexual trauma
Sexual trauma doesn’t stay in the past. It shows up in your body and your relationships, years or decades later. We won’t ask you to just talk it through again. That shame was never yours to carry. It’s time to give it back.

Childhood trauma
You learned how to survive whatever was happening in your childhood home. Those same patterns are still there now, even though you’re safe. This is where they finally get to change.

Relationships and couples
For relationships where trauma or old patterns keep getting in the way. We work with couples, and with ENM and poly relationships too, so you can hear each other again.
reClaim method
Healing doesn’t move in a straight line, whatever most therapy tells you. I built the reCLAIM Model because trauma doesn’t move that way either. Four threads you move through, and move through again, in whatever order you actually need.

Emdr
A structured way of processing memories and negative beliefs so they stop running your life the way they do now. There’s no need to talk through what happened again and again, hoping it eventually hurts less.

Parts work therapy
You’re not one version of yourself. There’s a part that people-pleases, a part that shuts down, a part that’s still angry about something from years ago. We work with each of them directly, instead of trying to talk you out of having them.

Somatic therapy
Your shoulders are tight for a reason. Your stomach drops before you know why. We start with what your body’s already telling us, as well as your thoughts – they both have a story to tell.
Sex and kink therapy
Support that holds trauma and desire in the same room, without picking one over the other. If you’re feeling shut down or disconnected in your relationships, we help you rebuild connection without shame.

Clinical supervision
Sex, kink, and complex trauma come up in session whether you feel ready for them or not. Supervision here means somewhere to actually say that, and get real help with it, not just tick a box.

How trauma affects memory: Explicit memory vs implicit memory
Our memory systems help us learn, adapt, and survive. They’re a bit like a filing cabinet for our life experiences, helping us to sort and organise events and learnings so we can recall them when required. But when we experience trauma, this process can be disrupted. Learn more…
