Identity, Trauma & Long-Term Conditions
Healing from the impact of coercive control, high-control environments, or life-altering health conditions.
Reclaim Your Identity: Beyond Trauma and Diagnosis
When you spend years in a high-control environment, whether that’s a coercive relationship, a boarding school, or a strict religious group, you learn to silence your own needs to survive.
When you are hit with a life-altering neurological diagnosis or a disability, you can stop trusting your own body.
In both cases, the result is the same: You go missing. You feel out of place in your own skin, navigating a world that doesn't see the real you.

TRAUMA CAN BE HELD AS A PHYSICAL WEIGHT
I support you to know that it is okay to rest.
Most people treat the mind and body as separate. Over 20 years as a Physiotherapist and Integrative Counsellor have taught me that we cannot separate them.
Chronic pain, fatigue, vestibular issues and the fog of trauma aren't just in your head, they are held in your nervous system. My dual background means we address the grief of a diagnosis and the physical reality of stress, anxiety and trauma simultaneously. We don't just talk about change; we work to rewire the way you feel in your own body.
Areas of Focus
Coercive Control & High-Control Recovery: Breaking the silence of coercive relationships and re-programming your sense of self after leaving controlling circumstances.
Adoption, Care Experience and Boarding School Syndrome: Addressing the hidden trauma of early separation and the impact on adult connections.
Disability & Long-Term Conditions: Navigating the profound grief, anger, and adjustment that comes with long-term conditions, disability or navigating a world not made for them.
Trauma Therapy: Processing trauma and moral injury. If you feel permanently on edge or disconnected from your self, others or the world, we work to bring you back to you.
You are more than what has happened to you.
Whether you are recovering from a toxic environment or adjusting to a new physical reality, the goal is the same: Agency. Taking back the power to decide who you are.
I provide a grounded, expert space to help you bridge the gap between where you are and who you want to be. Understand how we work more on the therapy page, or book a free call below.
