I work with childhood trauma. If you are looking for Counselling/Therapy because you have experienced a challenging relationship with emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, you may be experiencing some trauma symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD/CPTSD.
If you struggle with feelings of;
Guilt and Shame
Perfectionism
People Pleasing
Difficulty trusting others
Difficult getting close to others
Low self-esteem, self worth, self-loathing
Anger issues
Stress and irritability
Sleep issues
Hypervigilance
These can all due to traumatic experience. Either a single event or ongoing exposure and feeling unsafe.
The impact of childhood trauma can also cause many physical health problems, such as chronic pain, heart disease and fibromyalgia. The experiences of emotional neglect and rejection leave deep emotional Counselling can help you to relieve these symptoms of trauma, get to know and understand and even like yourself better, so that you can enjoy life and relationships in the very near future.
Counselling is talking therapy, but not all talking therapy is equal. I offer a holistic, integrative approach, working with the mind-body connection in a way that is unique to you, allowing you to feel seen, heard and understood. Together we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives, new insights and self-awareness. Counselling isn’t about giving you solutions or advice, but empowering you to create change on a deep level.
I look forward to helping you become your future self.
Alongside talking therapy we may also use techniques to help you to connect with yourself on a deeper level and release past trauma and repressed emotions. I have training in;
Integral Eye Movement Therapy
Root Cause Therapy
Hypnotherapy
Brainspotting

I work from The Magnolia Therapy Centre, at Mapperley Park, just outside Nottingham. It is on Mansfield Road so well serviced by several bus routes, such as the 58, 59, 88, and the Calverton Connection, to name a few.
