You may be someone who is used to coping. Perhaps other people rely on you, you carry significant responsibility, or you are accustomed to being the person who manages when things are difficult.

 

But sometimes something changes.

 

You may be living with the effects of trauma, feeling increasingly overwhelmed by chronic stress, or beginning to recognise the signs of burnout. Perhaps you're anxious or constantly on alert, struggling to switch off, sleep or concentrate, or finding that work, relationships or confidence are being affected.

 

Sometimes there is one experience you cannot seem to put behind you. Sometimes it is the cumulative impact of years of pressure, responsibility or difficult experiences. You may understand perfectly well why you feel as you do, yet find that understanding alone hasn't changed how you feel.

 

I offer specialist therapy for trauma and PTSD, chronic stress and burnout from my peaceful practice in Mid Devon and online across the UK. My work integrates psychotherapy with trauma-focused, somatic and EMDR approaches, tailored to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

 

Therapy is not simply about becoming better at coping with things that are hurting us. Together we can understand what is happening, work with what remains unresolved and help you recover more of yourself — your confidence, capacity, relationships, sense of meaning and ability to experience life more fully.

 

Coming home to yourself.
