Prologned stress and trauma will affect us on many levels – our thoughts, emotions, behaviour and body.

Counselling and psychotherapy is about self-exploration, looking into places that hurt and can be scary. 

Trauma-informed relational therapy places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work.

Somatic practices can help us gently reconnect with our body’s signals. Both compliment each other to create understanding about ourselves.

We can do this by:

• exploring how your past has shaped your thinking
• building understanding of emotional triggers in the body
• exploring what self-compassion can look like
• building understanding of our fight/ flight/ freeze/ fawn responses
