Services
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy services combine Internal Family Systems, Humanistic and Somatic approaches to address anxiety, depression and complex trauma. We work collaboratively to explore internal patterns and develop embodied understanding. Sessions help clients process traumatic experiences and build healthier coping mechanisms through weekly therapeutic engagement.
Trauma Therapy
Specialist trauma therapy addresses relational trauma, domestic abuse and traumatic bereavement using evidence-based techniques. We incorporate somatic experiencing to process trauma stored in the body and resolve PTSD symptoms. Our approach helps clients develop safety and connection while addressing childhood sexual abuse and early bonding issues through compassionate exploration.
Clinical Supervision
We offer BACP-compliant clinical supervision for mental health professionals using relational and person-centred frameworks. Supervision includes exploration of therapeutic dilemmas and professional development through creative somatic approaches. Our service supports therapists working with trauma, anxiety and complex mental health presentations in both individual and organisational contexts.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy integrates body awareness with psychological exploration to address trauma stored in physical patterns. We use TRE and focussing techniques to access non-verbal experiences and resolve chronic tension. This approach helps clients reconnect with bodily sensations in a safe therapeutic environment to promote holistic healing and self-regulation.
Online Counselling
Secure online counselling provides accessible mental health support through encrypted Zoom sessions and telephone therapy. Our remote services maintain the same therapeutic standards for clients nationwide. We offer flexible scheduling while maintaining confidentiality and professional boundaries in virtual therapeutic relationships.
