Services
Trauma Therapy
Specialised trauma therapy addresses complex PTSD and childhood emotional abuse. Using somatic and attachment-based approaches, clients process unresolved pain, develop emotional resilience, and rebuild trust in relationships. Sessions integrate mindfulness and body-awareness to release stored trauma, fostering long-term healing and self-compassion. Ideal for those seeking to overcome narcissistic abuse or chronic shame.
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Tailored support for survivors of narcissistic relationships, focusing on boundary-setting, self-esteem restoration, and breaking toxic cycles. Techniques include cognitive restructuring and trauma-informed coaching to reclaim personal agency. Designed for individuals struggling with guilt, enmeshment, or post-separation adjustment.

Art therapy utilises creative expression to explore emotions and trauma non-verbally. Clients engage in drawing, painting, or journaling to access subconscious feelings, enhance self-awareness, and reduce anxiety. Particularly effective for those with blocked creativity or difficulty articulating experiences.
