Is it difficult to see your life beyond a past or ongoing event and you can not move forward without the heavy feeling?
An experienced trauma therapist who has worked with individuals to heal trauma and release pent-up stress and tension, reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, manage chronic pain, improve self-regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Somatic Experiencing can be beneficial for individuals struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex-PTSD (CPTSD) among many other stress and trauma related illnesses. Somatic Experiencing helps individuals release pent-up energy from the traumatic event and re-regulate their nervous system through gentle guidance and attention to bodily sensations. This approach resolves PTSD symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, anxiety, and many other symptoms.
Safely process traumatic experiences and develop resilience and empowerment.
The scientific approach to healing through the body
What is Somatic Experiencing®?
Somatic Experiencing ® (SE) works on the nervous system which connects the brain and the body. Awareness of the sensations in the body gives access to the nervous system and the body’s natural healing powers to resolve trauma, shock, and stress related disorders. SE focuses on your body’s natural rhythm to complete stuck actions to resolve trauma and stress, allowing the body’s system to self-organise.
Humans like all living systems in nature have an innate wisdom to process trauma acquired through evolution and life wants to flourish through us. SE is a therapy that can tap into this wisdom through the nervous system to transform you into a harmonised and embodied self, with connection to others.
SE is developed by Dr Peter Levine who has worked with stress disorders and trauma for over 45 years of successful clinical application. Dr Peter Levine developed SE through the multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics. SE is based on the same regulatory and stress discharge mechanisms that humans have as mammals do in the wild. Through the careful study of the mammalian world in the wild who are granted the wisdom by nature to overcome trauma on a regular basis we too can access this wisdom and energy to recover that part of us that has become disconnected to itself, and become in touch with our bodies again.
The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of early emotional and early developmental attachment trauma, or a specific traumatic event. SE works with the nervous system and therefore has a variety of approaches.
To become whole (to heal) it is essential to work on the entire organism, or the somatic being - the mind, soul, and the body.

Who am I?
Wholeness Recovery Already Inside You
You can heal.
You were born with the ingrained ability to sustain yourself.
In the presence of a compassionate other you can find your Wholeness.
I am an experienced Somatic Experiencing ® Practitioner (SEP), and my interest in psychotherapy was ignited by my own childhood trauma history. I met Dr Gabor Maté when participating in a retreat which took me deep into my healing.
I received feedback from psychologists working in the trauma healing field, including from a member in Gabor Maté’s team about my potential as a therapist because of my healing journey which encouraged me to become a therapist. I then started to learn Somatic Experiencing ® (SE) which I completed in 2019, when I started to work in the field, after the three years training with Dr Peter Levine’s institute. This included supervisory hours, some of which I had with Dr Peter Levine himself. I received additional training from him for clients who participated or were impacted by war such as refugees.
I have also completed Dr Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry short course and I employ some of these tools with my SE work.
Previously, I worked in the banking and financial industry in the UK and internationally across many jurisdictions. The work environment was at best fast paced, competitive, and stressful. I understand the working culture well and the impact it can have on health. My recovery process helped me maintain good physical and mental health, be more productive, joyful, and eventually become a trauma therapist to help others on their journey.
It was sometimes challenging living as an expat which involved travel, since the new space felt unfamiliar, like being away from my social networks, and not having a new established schedule. Applying my tools in SE helped me return to a sense of calm and socially engage with others to make new friends.
I also work with pre and post processing of plant medicines.
Having been through the process I am passionate about what I do. I guide my clients in their healing process by working compassionately with their central nervous system, where the trauma is held. My aim for my client is to resolve the trauma, to bring calm, and meet life’s challenges.
Most of my clients are health professionals such as accredited psychologists, GPs, physiotherapists, and nurses, amongst others.
You can find me registered on the SE Trauma Institute SE Practitioner Directory.
Available for small group facilitation work which I have experience in.
